	Salvage Specialist is a job in the Cargo department.		Salvage Specialist is a job in the [[Cargo]] department.

	As a Salvage Specialist, you act as one of the crucial links in the station's supply chain. Use the [[#Salvage Magnet\|Salvage Magnet]] to pull in debris and asteroids, strip them for loot and ore, and return to the station. Be sure to bring a GPS and memorize station coordinates so that you do not get [[Space Navigation\|lost in space]].

	This is where you'll pull in new debris, process ore and scrap into valuable materials, refill your air supply, and store any extra loot or equipment that the QM lets you hold on to. Acquaint yourself with the layout of your workspace, and take note of what's available to you.

Line 108:		Line 108:
	The most straightforward form of salvage, [[debris]] consists of a few pieces of randomly generated wrecked flooring sprinkled with walls, airlocks, equipment, lockers, and racks. The two main draws of debris are '''Loot''', which can be found scattered around the floor and within lockers, and '''Scrap''', various pieces of Debris-only garbage which can be recycled for large amounts of basic materials. To maximize your haul, unwrench one of the many lockers onboard and drag it along with you, filling it with any scrap or interesting loot you can find. Make sure you get your loot off the Debris before it despawns!

	Debris will almost always contain some number of Space Carp, and rarely host the more dangerous Sharkminnow. They can be dealt with rather easily with your PKA, as long as you keep out of their range or shoot them from the safety of space. Remember to butcher them with your knife afterwards for Carp Fillet and Teeth.		Debris will almost always contain some number of [[Space Carp]], and rarely host the more dangerous [[Sharkminnow]].

	When pulling in ~~Asteroids~~, Specialists can easily read their contents on the Salvage Magnet. Generally speaking, asteroids containing rarer materials like Gold, Silver, Uranium and Plasma should be prioritized over those containing Coal, Iron, or Quartz. Basic materials can be acquired from scrap on debris, or purchased by cargo if necessary; rare metals are not so easily acquired.

	Once an asteroid has been pulled, be sure to equip an Ore Bag for easy storage and grab a pickaxe before heading out into the void. Asteroids are far safer than other forms of salvage and lack enemies, so mining should be relatively straightforward. Be sure to dump your haul into the Ore Processor once you get back, and inform cargo so they can take advantage of the materials.

	* Remember that one of the best parts of being a Salvage Specialist is being a morale booster and gift-giver. You should not be keeping all the cool stuff you find out on Salvage all to yourself. Cargo and the rest of the station will be much happier to help you out if you make a point of delivering fun or useful items to them between magnet pulls or Expeditions. Grab tools, clothes, spare weapons (within reason), bling, food, and let the rest of the station enjoy it!		* Remember that one of the best parts of being a Salvage Specialist is being a morale booster and gift-giver.

	* Throwing something in zero gravity will fling you in the opposite direction. This can save your life if you are stuck in space without a jetpack.		* Throwing something in zero gravity will fling you in the opposite direction. This can save your life if you are stuck in space without a jetpack.

	* Holding down {{Key press\|Control}} + right-click on a tile near you while pulling something lets you move it around while standing still. In zero-gravity, you can fling objects such as crates/gas tanks towards the station by timing your release with {{Key press\|Q}} accurately.

	* Know what Cargo and other departments currently need, and prioritize your loot accordingly. Machinery usually fetches a higher price than small items, the Science department loves alien artifacts, and raw materials are always in demand. If you're mining, try to prioritize the things that the station can't buy, like Gold, Silver, and Uranium.		* Know what [[Cargo]] and other departments currently need, and prioritize your loot accordingly.

Always be willing to think outside the box when looting a Salvage Wreck, and keep an Appraisal Tool handy to decide whether something is worth grabbing or not.

			==Blue and Red Debris==

			At the start of the round, a number of small chunks of blue and red debris will spawn in a rough halo around the station. These chunks are usually quite spaced out from one another, and usually require a shuttle or jetpack to travel to.

			Blue debris chunks are comparable to smaller versions of magnet debris, with carp, ticks, and sharkminnows. Loot spawns in the form of crates rather than scattered junk, and can range from generally useless boxes of books and janitorial supplies to stacks of uranium and plasma. This makes them a decent option for quickly finding stacks of rare materials.

			Red debris chunks are essentially tiny asteroids with randomized ore spawns. These are usually so small as to not be worth focusing on for mining, and miners should instead consider pulling asteroids with the magnet or mining on an Expedition or the VGRoid.
