My target as begineer

So what's exactly this post? Well it just states the targets I had as a beginner.
Ship: I needed a total of 27 (-11 for pods) drone bays and 34 crew bays so that's 50 tiles.
* Note: Replace drone bays for pilot pods after u reach 50 tiles instead of any other parts. You can remove 6 more drone bays if u want to have 7 drones each element and add more cargo bays instead (or crew bay if your crews are weak and you cant reach crew caps). Just remember to have 7-9 drones each element.
Crews: I needed a total of 34 crews (23 crew bay + 11 for pods). They are as follows:
Remember to train your crews frequently and replace crews with legendary until you reach the following target. This is long term so I suggest you to do it after all other things here (Except pilot pods cause its long term.
Upgrading pods: This is something long-term and lasts forever. Keep upgrading your pods cause parts don't last forever. You can get your parts to level 5-7 but don't try to go higher. Though like cxc you can have 1 or 2 misc parts for defense but remember to level it up a lot cause guardians tend to attack your weakest part. So get the misc's health higher than other parts health.
Cargo Ship: If you get too much crews then you wont gain any profit from selling crystals. So get a new ship and put cargo bays in it but not much crews. You can get some crews or misc parts in it for defense or more cargo but dont go above 50% total crew take.
Drones: Try to get and train your drones after you finish all above tasks (Except pilot pod one cause that's forever). You can do it before training crews or after training crews. It does not matter cause u can replace your drones with new ones and they gain exp. But look out for their health.

- Prospectors: 12
- Captains -- : 13
- Cargo Hand: 3
- Engineers - : 3
- Attackers -- : 3

- Captain: 115%
- Cargo Hand: 120%
- Engineer: 125%

More Tips!
- Gems work in a different manner than crystals. Gems generate time by time while your not afk (Moving or attacking guardians/mines) and you get a specific amount of them after you mine a mine or shipwreck. On the other hand you get crystals in a specific amount and the maximum crystals you can get is increased by prospectors / crate effects.
- Guardians tend to attack your weakest parts most of the times. Not every time but most times they do. So try to keep all your parts in a equal level / health.
- After you get a huge amount of crystals during race then try to get a crate with double points. Set beacon first close to mine then just roam around or go to beacon bay or harbor.
- Crates spawn more close to beacon bay or harbor.
- Its common sense but don't try to get yourself overwhelmed during doing bounty of killing guardians cause you lose more gems trying to restore your drones that you gain from bounty reward. It happens to me sometimes.
- Always repair your parts in cargo before selling. If you repair they will sell for their maximum value. You can do it by going to hanger then equipping those parts and click repair button. Then they will sell for max value. If you want to keep them in ur cargo while repaired then unequip the parts after repairing before leaving hanger
- When you make a new ship don't buy the parts. Try to trade with others instead. Let me tell you the trading system. 1 misc part is 10 gem. It doubles and triples by size. Drone bays are 20 gems as usual but some people take higher price than normal due to rarity. Ex: 4x cargos are pretty rare so they might be higher. Name of some people you can trade with is cxc, and C92643. But they aren't online much.
- there's a whole chatroom of 400 people where the only conversation allowed is "levi" and "dead" . They say "levi" when someone spawned a levi and others warp to the person who said it and kill. When its dead people say "dead" . People also say a time which represents how much time left till levi escapes. If a levi escapes successfully then people say "escaped" in chat. To get added in chatroom you can ask huge players or even me to add you in it. Just ask someone who's already in the chatroom. But please only say these 3 words and nothing else as theres 400 people it interrupts everyone and its not allowed 🚫🚫🚫
- Repair misc parts before selling. You get damaged misc parts from mines so if u repair it then you get it for max value.
- Try to get crews after u reach 50 tiles. mainly legendary engineers (You can get ultra rare but replace with legendary if u get). Why engineers so important. Well early game you lose parts a lot. I have 25k defense so i did not lose parts for like 2 to 3 month (I did lose a 1x part due to glitch once though).
- Don't waste gems on painting your ship. Why not upgrade a pod instead saving up those money. I have a half colored ship cause I realized my mistake later.
- Whenever something bugs out like u randomly lose a drone then contact the developers at "support@goldfire,me". There will be dot (.) instead of comma (,). If I write direct link it glitches so just type that replacing dot with comma and send it to anyone and click the link or contact a guy named OkayBenji. But remember to use the same google / other account as the one you used to sign in exocraft while sending the mail or else the developers wont know the account your using and will fail to solve your case.
- Don't waste gems on large or medium offerings / drops. Its a mistake I did back then. I did large offerings and medium and also bought drops. Now I realize with that I wasted about 1000+ gems that way. Only do small offerings for experience to train drone/crews.
- You can ask huge players like OldBigLion, peace2022, cxc, Superboy e.t.c for crystals. They will give it to you for free (Not 100% guaranteed)
- Crews will be 5x stronger in 5 star than it is in 1 star. So choose wisely which crews are powerful. And In terms of gems the more gem it cost the better the crew. Weakest legendary is 170 gems and strongest is 250.
