For Hardspace: Shipbreaker players, this is a guide briefly describing various bugs and some of the more common difficulties folks may have in game and how to deal with them.
Ship lost after closing the game
This isn’t a bug it’s how it works for now. To quote a developer “…our first attempts had save files that took over 10m (minutes) to write and were several GB large. Which is obviously not where we’d want it to be.”
The feature is on the road map though.
Second shift and more
To avoid being unable to start a second shift or more it’s necessary to end the current shift with the grappler equipped. Demo charges, split-saw, and stinger will cause a bug preventing further shifts from working properly.
Repeating Dialogue
Edit: May have been fixed.
This is a known bug without a current workaround. It is being investigated.
Black Blob
If your screen is being enveloped in ever growing blackness simply spin in place. It doesn’t matter what direction. Just spin.
HAB Access
Can’t access HAB:
There are two separate bugs here:
1. Swap to the split-saw and toggle it a few times. This should reset whatever bug is causing the issue.
2. If you selected the option to enter the HAB and hit a key other than that to end the shift and enter the HAB you have unfortunately broken the menu system. To exit at this point you will have to abandon the shift.

Javelin
1. Pressurized cockpit:
See Javelin Cockpit section
2. Reactor:
See Javelin Cockpit section
2. Reactor:
Edit: The aluminum panel can be cut safely now. If you want to collect it continue cutting the constructor beams
Stinger the constructor beams surrounding the panel behind the ECU
Make a clear path and tether the ECU to the barge.
Once the combo enters the barge you can safely pull pipes (after draining them), aluminum, and coolant cans if you so desire.
Javelin Cockpit
There is currently a bug with Javelin cockpits.
Stinger away this small section of glass and the cockpit will depressurize safely.

Javelin Caged fuel tanks
Here’s an updated video how to safely remove the caged fuel tanks on javelins.
Kisok Access
1. Can’t access console:
No option to open the kiosk console? Whip out your Split-Saw and toggle it a few times. The console should now be available.
2. Console selection bugged:
If you can open the console but can’t select and purchase anything, use your [w][a][s][d] keys to navigate the menu and [space] to make purchases. This bug occurs on 2nd shifts and higher.

Mackerel:
Cable Junctions
Edit: Cable junctions can currently be grappled free, loosening any attached power cell relatively safely
Cut these cut points to free the cables. There’s a lot of them so I recommend carefully aiming the split-saw one at a time.
When all cut points are cut that surround each section of cable, the cable section will be detached and furnace-able.

Radiation Units
1. Cutting it out
Grapple pull either the internal or external Access Panel from the Radiation Containment Unit.
Stinger the cut points surrounding the Radiation Filter.
The Radiation Filter is now free, be careful though it’s very fragile.

Salvage Runner:
1. Pressure:
Move all loose objects through the airlock if you want to safely depressurize the Salvage Runner. This will take some time. The fastest option is to accept losses from depressurization explosions or work on a different vessel.
