Editing FAQ (section)

== Gameplay ==
=== What does this item do? ===
{{Main|List of undetermined items}}
While playing the game, you may come across some items or equipment that are not explained. Often, these items are part of systems that Introversion is still developing.
=== How can I move crew members, resources, or items between ships? ===
There are two ways to transfer items between your ships. Firstly, you can transfer items via drones using the logistics menu. This will allow you to transfer all items except [[Crew Member|crew members]].

The second method is to [[#Can I dock my ships?|dock your ship]]. Once connected, you can use the logistics menu to transfer items between your ships, including crew members. In this case, your crew will carry them over instead of the drones. 

'''Note:''' Your fleet only requires one [[FTL Drive]]. When activated, all ships&mdash;even those without fuel, engines, or crew&mdash;will enter FTL travel.
=== How can I get crew to newly purchased ships? ===
Before you purchase anything else for your ship, select the newly purchased ship and buy a matching number of crew members and [[spacesuit]]s. If you purchase other items first, they will be stuck in the queue without anyone to move them. If you don't buy spacesuits, the crew members will refuse to leave the [[Cargo Shuttle]].

You may also [[#Can I dock my ships?|dock your old ship]] to your new ship and using the logistics menu transfer your crew over. They will automatically put on a spacesuit if there is no atmosphere in the other ship. 
=== Can I dock my ships? ===
[[File:DockingDiagram.png|250px|thumb|right|The docking view]]
Yes. Using the [[Tactical Screen]], align the two diamond-shaped dots outside your docking ports. When done correctly, the docking port extends and connects to the other ship.

'''Note:''' You can only transfer items ''from'' the selected ship to others. If you want to transfer fuel from Ship A to Ship B and oxygen from Ship B to Ship A, you need to select Ship A to transfer the fuel, then select Ship B to transfer the oxygen.
=== Can I sell a ship? ===
Yes. Simply click the 'Sell' button in the top right when you are at a Shipyard. Note that you cannot re-buy a sold ship. It will be sold for its exact value unless the star system is close to the anomaly in which case it'll be sold for a diminished price.
=== How can I repair damage on my ship? ===
To repair the hull on the ship, visit a Shipyard, then use the ''Construction'' menu &rarr; ''Shipyard'' &rarr; ''Repair''. Drones can do a patch-up repair that will restore some hit points. To do this, you need a [[Drone Bay]] and some [[Logistics Drone]]s. Once that system is set up, you must enable ''Repair'' in the ''Orders'' menu. A crew member will load Drones into the Drone Bay for repairs.

Crew members will repair equipment on your ship. Sometimes, due to a bug, they will not repair equipment. In this case, dismantle and reinstall the item to remove the damage. '''Note:''' Dismantling tanks destroys their contents.
=== How can I build habitation? How do I add on to my ship? ===
Travel to a system with a Shipyard, then use the Construction menu to add habitation, hull, floors and walls.
=== How do I loot derelict ships? ===
To loot derelict ships, you need a [[Drone Bay]] and some [[Logistics Drone]]s. Once that system is set up, you must enable ''Gather Resources'' and ''Gather Salvage'' in the ''Orders'' menu. A crew member will load Drones into the Drone Bay to gather the loot.
=== The cargo shuttle is docked to my ship, nothing is being unloaded, and it won't leave ===
A lack of storage space typically causes the cargo shuttle to refuse to undock. There are things left that the cargo shuttle needs to unload, but it has no room to place them anywhere. Use the ''Storage'' menu to assign general storage so crew members can continue unloading the cargo shuttle. If lack of storage is not the issue, ensure that your crew is not prioritizing other tasks.
=== Why can't I place floor tiles? ===
To place floor tiles for your ship, the area in which you place them must already be covered in hull.
=== What can I do if I run out of FTL charges or fuel and am stuck? ===
If you are stuck in a system without access to the Trade menu and don't have enough fuel for power or FTL charges to make it to another system, you can cheat by editing your save file. Instructions for this are provided in the [[save file]] article.

'''Note:''' Only one ship in your fleet needs a working FTL Drive. All other ships will jump with it.
=== Why can't I accept a Passenger Transport contract, despite having enough habitation space? ===
This usually indicates that part of your [[Habitation Deck]] is unreachable. The habitation deck is affected by obstacles on the Engineering Deck, so walls and doors will keep passengers from reaching blocked off areas of the Habitation Deck, leading to overcrowding near the ladders. You can get around this by using the "Open Doors" command when accepting/turning in contracts.

Be aware that atmosphere and sewer collection are also affected by this separation and may not function properly with doors closed. You can either continue playing with Doors Open active, or keep a careful eye on your atmosphere and sewage levels.
=== How can I export or share my ships? ===
{{Main|Ships#Sharing_ships}}
You can export your ship to the Steam Workshop or to a file via the game menu. Check the main article linked above for further information.
