Star Salvage Reborn
--- Salvaging is life --- Survive, Salvage , Explore! ---
This is an overwrite for the existing Star Salvage Reborn, as Bxels is not available at the moment but we wanted to give Epic players the
latest version.
The best way to install it is:
1. go to your Star Salvage Reborn Folder (after you downloaded the Zip file)
2. Remove everything in it. If you want to be super save make a backup of the content before you do.
3. Unpack the downloaded zip file directly in your Star Salvage Reborn folder.
About the Scenario
The galaxy is dying. Resources are scarce, and empires fight over the scraps. You’ve entered the Orntell system, a neutral zone caught between the Polaris Corporation and the Zirax Empire.
Scavenge wrecks and junkyards across planets and space, repair derelict ships, uncover the mystery of Ghost Ships, and carve your destiny among the stars.
Recommended for Single Player or Co-Op. Dedicated server support may work but is not guaranteed. One of the developers, Zathabar runs an MP server we do our best to make it work for all play types.
The Mod (called "Scenario" in Empyrion speech) provides 4 story starter locations you can choose from.
Features
- Massive, randomly-generated galaxy
- PDA missions with a tech-tree system based on specializations: Combat, Engineering, Exploration, or Medical
- Salvage structures: Bases, Hover Vessels, Small Ships, and Capital Vessels
- Limited mineable resources create tension and challenge
- Junkyards with scavengable items on planets and in space
- Repair derelict space stations
- Encounter custom Ghost Ships with ultra-rare loot crates
- Unique planet types:
Junkyard: Temperate planets used by the Zirax as dumping grounds
Cursed: Home to Ghost Ships (future story missions planned)
Quarantine: Polaris-quarantined barren planets, tied to late-game missions
- Junk Points of Interest, Polaris-specific salvageable ships, and defensive junkyard structures
Please keep in mind, that the story is still under development, but that shouldn't take you from having fun, building, explore and engage with the community.
We have a discord channel for bug reporting, suggestions, help, development, creativity.
