Hey..I am stuck trying to get to the next system..I need a sponser, and the walkthrough is confusing as heck. Talk to the frog guy...can't. Help please
Go to the cantina in the evening and talk to him.
Just out of curiosity: How could the walkthrough be more understandable in that point?
Hey and thank you. It was just a bit confusing to me, as I was playing late at night, and it is hard to read without glasses, lol.
YV: Yah, I use my computer without my glasses....being old sucks. :) My main issue now is trying to save the Princess...and the walkthrough suggests level 3 armor plating...where the heck do you get it, while in the 2nd system you can only buy the level 2 plating? I suppose there are some things I need to do in the starting system....sigh. Like go in area where all the drones are....sigh, thanks
The main station in iltari will sell you level 3 (quantum) shields and weapons and BFT torpedoes if your REP is 30+ (go to station admin and ask to upgrade your license, from the next day they appear randomly in the station trade interface)
Krogneath in the pirate station is not so discerning and he will sell you all once your NOT is 15 (or 20?).
With 6 BFT torpedoes and L3 weapon ans shield the princess fight is easy (look in walkthrough for the diagram). TLDR: Fly to top left rock, ignoring drones on the way (unless its oportune to hit them _with_ a ship also damaged). Then engage the two ships from behind the rock, hide there with your last turn(!) and then mop up
Well yv, I wouldnt think too much on that, its quite hard if not impossible to make a 1 size fits all solution.
to the wizzard in white, I think that you might like to try poe.com and use one of their chatbots to make more sense of the walkthrough
Hey...ah, thank you. I got through it ok...my issue now is how to rescue the Princess with only 49%chance of survival...lol. only level 2 plating for sale in the 2nd system, so trying to figure out how to go about killing 3 level 3 ships and all the mines...lol.
been playing for a bit now and I can't believe I found a game I like more for the gameplay then the fanservice. I almost skip the naughty stuff to get back to the gameplay (I said almost).
Game you can get for free that is worth paying for. tks and keep up the great work.
I'm glad you enjoyed the game so far.
I deliberately set out to make a game you can play with some NSFW subtext and not just a NSFW picture story on rails.
Just now working on 2.00 new architecture, which possibly can solve the save game issue and allows me to release compatible content packs :)
Will Seraphine get a chamber maid in the Krell space update?
Thought about bringing one onboard (someone sneaking onboard who then has to work off her fare ;) )
٩(^ᗜ^ )و ´-
EDIT: Thats an idea for the final SJX Episode in Spring, its not in 1.50 Krell Space
I've been playing this for a day or so. I've done a couple of the introductory missions so far.
I have the mission Arm Yourself and A Favor for Vigo. It requires me to equip my ship with a laser and shields. I managed to find a shield. However, I cannot find any weapons. I believe this is because I don't have a weapon license.
I've tried to get one through the Iltari Station by clicking on Station Control. This doesn't seem to work as I get the message "I wouldn't know what to do here."
I'm clearly missing something very easy. Any suggestions on what that could be?
You need to have a reputation of 10 to be able to ask for a weapons license at the station Administration. You can increase your reputation by completing transport missions, helping out space farers who are in trouble, freeing slaves in case you stumble upon a container, and some other ways. The walkthrough explains how to get reputation.
I’ve been playing this game for a few hours now and it’s really great fun.
I think I have come across a bug however:
Khelara is stuck on 2 sluttiness and doesn’t increase further. The walkthrough suggests to just stare at her in the shower but nothing happens after having done that multiple times. Her APP is at 4 at the moment so high enough for it to progress
Starting at sluttiness 4 the walkthrough suggests that I then need to bring her some drinks to progress further but I can’t even get her there since it seems I am locked out from increasing her sluttiness.
If I remember correctly, you need to bring her a drink and then visit her later in the shower. This will give you an additional scene with the stats increasing.
Thanks for your answer. I tried giving her all kind of drinks but nothing happened. I think you are referring to the step when her sluttiness is level 4 already as per the walkthrough. She is currently at 2 for me and I can’t increase it any further. The walkthrough suggests that I just need to watch her shower but nothing changes?
I figured it out. Her exhibitionism needs to be at 6 for this to start . This wasn’t in the walkthrough but not a big issue. Still enjoy the game!
Ah, yes. I should make it a habit to document not obvious triggers better in the walkthrough.
Marked for doc update. Thanks.
How do you get gallery scene on page 7 spot 17? Hint is Practice 'social interactions' with naked v... slu +5. She is slu 11 for me and I have done everything I can think of
Also is there elite j and protector shells?
Yes. They can be crafted by Nimhe once her TEC is maxed
Ok what is her max tec level? Also what about the gallery screen from above?
I do not have that on top of my head right now. There is a walk-through document in the original posts which should explain it in more detail.

How i do i "free slaves" for Audra content?
Just eject them and space patrol Will be notified and pick them up in space and you get a reward
What does yutani bot and automation systen investment do?
That is indeed not documented in the walkthrough.
It allows you in the Botlab to compare two bots side by side so you can see which component impacts value how much
thanks
I have no idea how to even start looking for the 2 map fragments. Ive been everywhere in Iltari I can possibly click for the Iltari fragments I cant remember how the chat when and where I should look.
There is a quite extensive walkthrough in the original post that might help.
The map fragments are the loot in the final of three levels in each precursor site (there is one in each system)
how can i do the mission find the stolen prototype
The Stolen Prototype
• If you have watched all Galaxina Episodes (i.e. they begin to recycle on watching),spend a Night in Iltari System
• You are informed by News that a Galaxina Prototype Bot Shell has been stolen and a huge reward has been promised by HoloMax Inc.
• Next time you fight Arellarti Asteroid Pirates (any Scenario), you have a chance of finding that Prototype Bot Shell (after exiting victoriously)
• From here you have two choices, namely (a) give it to Nimhe, then you can use it in your Lab or (b) hand it in at Iltari Station and you'll get a huge reward and an unpublished Galaxina Novel
You can find this and other info in the 1.40 Walkthrough in the Main Post.
ok thanks
I am stuck on the gun purchase part. I think I have my license, but I don't know where to buy it. The pirate tells me that I have to belong to his group, and the other that I have something to do.
- To start with bounties you need to vanquish Pirate Ghad.
- to do that you need weapons
- those weapons you can buy at Iltari station if you have a license
- your rep needs to be 10 to get the weapon license at iltari station
- the next day you can buy (basic grade 1) weapons and shields at the station
- kill Ghad
- after that you can take on simple bounties and gain NOT
- Once NOT is 10+ (or 5?) you can buy gear at the pirate station (they don't care about licenses)
There is a walkthrough in OP which describes that in detail.
Let me know what was poorly described in the walkthrough so I can improve it.
First, thank you for responding. I have reputation 17, and if I'm not mistaken I already got the license at the control station. But then if I try to enter it says it doesn't know what to do there. I don't understand where to buy, I already went all over the station and nothing. I only can buy shields in the cargobay, but i don't know how to buy weapons
Update, I figured out how to do it. Thank you very much for your help
I seem to be stuck at the Pet Owner on Arellarti Station. Praising his pet and chatting does not reveal the next step. Nor can I get Tris to do the public walk. What am I missing?
The trick is indeed to have Tris accompany you and then talk with the pet owner. I think I described the conditions for the pet walk in the walkthrough in Tris section.
Let me know where that was unclear so I can improve the walkthrough document.
It never allows me to do missions especially transport from the computer I'll have the stuff and go to the place and nothing happens what's going on?
That should be pretty straightforward. You can deliver the items any day prior to the deadline. Please note that you need all the required quantity in order to finish the mission. If there is an active mission for a location, there is a red! On the location. Fly to the location and then click on the location and the mission will complete and the products will be unloaded and payment will be done
Really, really loving the game, and I'm looking forward to more potential bondage content in the future!
Great you like the game so far.
As to bondage, 1.50 has a bunch of ponygirl stuff (but mostly pet themed) and 1.60 will be more bondage oriented (starring Khelara...)
Yeah, that response right there has me wanting throw money at this game XD
Well, 1.50 will enter in Early access II in the 5$ tier on 13th on Patreon and Subscribestar ;)
Lol already went with the $10 option on Subscribestar, even made a comment there too about the Ponygirl bit and how I'm surprised we can't make Triss one XD.
Excellent, thank you for your support!
The pony girl content is available in the latest version in some basic form. Technically it isn't the big issue to add other crew members to your stable :)
Love this game. Hope to have more action in this game soon.
Good to hear you enjoyed the game.
V1.50 is entering BETA in a few days and will be publicly released around early December.
Great game.
A bug that I have encountered is the missing indicator of room having a charater (the doctor (most time) and nimhe (20h, 21h or 22h i think its after her room is locked)). Just to be clear, the indicator of room having a charater is the squares on the minimap/quick navigation of the ship.
At some time of the day, some characters are nowhere to be found.
Some rooms are still unavailable, like the sex Arcade on itari.
Posted here because I don't know if you have a proper ticket submission form.
It's good to hear that you enjoyed the game so far .
Regarding the locator dots in the mini map, sometimes the characters go about their business on the ship in other locations and are not to be found in the normal rooms. I thought that added a little bit to the characters.
What a great game. I'm completely amazed at what can be achieved with Ren'Py.
I love the idea of all the SF content and the theme of "Finding the Way Home". The general implementation of your ideas and the art style are also very unique. Hats off to you for that.
The added bonus of the whole Pok*mon "Gotta Catch 'Em All" like finding and creating new bot types is a very welcome one.
Having said that, I have an idea that I don't know if it had already been mentioned.
I think it would be great, if you added a factory to the player base, where one could use collected and purchased resources to build parts for the spaceship, as well as consumables like torpedoes or platings. Perhaps also supplemented by a search for necessary blueprints as in the case of the shells?
While this would require a lot of programming, I don't think it would require a lot of 3D modeling, which I guess is the most time-consuming part of your work.
What do you think? I could expand on my ideas, but I think you get the picture.
I'm glad you like the game (feel free to leave a 5 star rating, it will help with game visibility...;) )
The Industrial replicator is already implemented in 1.40 (Beacon of Elements), including blueprints. Some more blueprints will come in 1.50.
Ah, so it was in a part of the game I didn't reach yet. Isn't it too late in the game though?
Never mind. I have another small think to ask.
Would it be possible to change the function of the buttons in the warehouse interface? Like instead of acting on only one item istead pop up a requester where you can specify a value directly? I mean this:
It's a bit tedious to click 120 times to get all the Carbon Nanotubes ;)
There is a load / store all function (either its shift or a toggle, footer on screen should explain it)
And thanks a lot for leaving a good review :)
Thanks. I must have been blind. Key 'A' to toggle.
Would still be best to have the possibility to enter the amount directly. Not only in the warehouse. In the earlier example, what if I only needed to move 60 out of the 120 pieces stored?
That exists. It counts up 10x, 50x, 100x on the buttons. I remember coding that.
What's the order of the orbs at Beacon of Elements? I'm retarded and can't do it 😞
The sequence is listed in the walk-through document which is linked in the original post.
There are also some hints on the tablet leaning against the wall on the right side
I hate to bother you again but finished the game awesome so far can not wait for 1.50 now so hyped.
I like playing with the bot lab is there a store.batlab console command for parts like the shells and stuff you can give me? I tried to figure it out and failed legendarily lol...
The botlab items cannot be simply added. They are instantiated with random stats and separate IDs from template items.
In theory you could do it with (example for Gen 3 legs) GAME.lab.parts.append(GAME.sbPartsData["SBPLegs3"].clone())
The template item codes you can find in one of the sexbot_lab rpy files.
One typo though and you might nuke all you Botlab Parts or corrupt your game so i recommend against it unless you really know what you are doing and have some python basic syntactical knowledge.
thanks will try it out on a testing save, really only want to use it for the shell items though to have my arcade with 1 bot in every shell version so I need to clone/cheat in the infiltrator's shell.
Wait, wait, wait!
So are you saying that the bot parts are actually different from each other? I was pretty sure that two, say "Legs - Gen 3, Military Grade" (at 100%), were identical, so one can swap them freely without any consequences?
I understand that some of the things in the parts storage - like the Addons - are unique. But the bot parts, too?
You can swap them freely but they still may have specific properties (repair state, special bonuses, ...). At least I prepared them for that. Not sure whether I let the game actually roll those properties already...
Ah, all right. Thanks for clearing that up.
Awesome game. A few tweaks I seen could make it better makes no sense to always have to get T'Ris drunk for sex after the first time should be a regular thing. I would rather the adult content be a little quicker to much grind for stats with the caps on each unlocked quest line. Love that the princess from your last game is in it she has an unique design I like your render art is 10/10 for me. I do like to use console commands anyway you would please give a basic idea of how to increase sluttiness, reputation, notoriety ect and the proper store.??? text to add items to the shops list or ship storage. ones posted online are b/s and wrong lol they give error text in consol.
Glad you enjoyed the game.
The walkthrough shows the syntax and examples for giving yourself items etc.
You could also do that with Stats, but that might break quests. Use at your own risk:
example:
tris.setAttr("SLU",3)
sets her SLU to 3
Thank you and yeah I don't use stat stuff much in games like this sense the scenes are quest based not stat progression like dating sims are.
I have a suggestion for you to consider is you do add a another update. I think it would be nice if you add lewd custom changes for the rest of the crew not just T'Ris so that the crew can all fit with the captains uniform. I personally would also like to see the last crew room get a female member maybe a cook or someone for the armory. Also would love more adult stuff on the crew the pirate girl and princess feel forgotten with the little attention you gave them :)
Thanks for the suggestions.
Progressive Outfits like for T'Ris are crazy work. I'll add Nimhe in 1.50 though.
Khelara gets her own episode in 1.60 - The Drengar expansion
Seraphine gets a whole lot in 1.50 (Ponygirl) ;)
Oh that is awesome I love your work, will def be watching for updates! I played the tower game you did and it was amazing love that you brought her back in this game :P You did a 100 times better Starfield game very impressive work.
from your comment, I understand that you really like the game. This is great to hear. I'm a bit surprised however at the rating you left for the game was that a mistake?
Not sure if it will happen but love the design of the Infiltrator you make with Nimhe would like it if she could craft more of them and galaxina to put on arcade bots and scenes for them it quality control. Not sure if its worth the work but would be cool also would like it if Nimhe would stop making gen1 parts after her tech is high gen2-3 is fine prefer gen 3 for arcade though. I also had a thought if possible to be able to change the shell on your personal bot with any of them but I know you would have a massive amount of work to do that so its just a thought to consider if you want :) thanks for the help again and keep up the good work.
This developer keep programming with narrow triggers for progression, meaning:
looking at guides and comments, serching how to trigger events locked by something that you will never try is a core mecanic for this developer games.
Not raccomanded, free or not it's not good or fun
lol man you had a bad day?? cause if one of the better games on this site trigger you. you should try more stuff out. Not alot of devs are commited as this guy.
go poo in someone else's shoe
I can't figure out what to do with the first map fragment. Do I use it to go through the first jump gate? Is there some way to look at the map frag.? Awesome game!
The fragments will be relevant when you reach Xenos System (3rd System). The Librarian in the Xenos archives needs them to analyze the Precursor Hyperjump Network and find the way home for you.
Glad you enjoy the game so far.
There is also a walkthrough linked in the OP.
If you haven't yet, would be great if you can leave a 5 star rating (rating accessible also in OP)
Will do!, you deserve a good review on this product. Thanks to the time and effort you put into it.
How do I get past the zealots in the precursor junkyard in Xenos system? My ship has a full set of xeno ceram plating, torpedo array MK.II, lots of BFT 2000 torpedoes and Voron torpedoes, together with cloak capabilities. Still, I get beaten up completely, even in stage one.
The trick is that you are ships engineer needs to be set to reload torpedoes you need to have about 15 to 20 high-end torpedoes (bft or voron) and now the most important point: when there's only one ship left in the first encounter you need to play around with it a bit to give your engineer a time to reload all your torpedoes for the next round. Best way to play around with that ship is just to play hide and seek, and shut down any missile it might launch you .
sorry for the crappy writing, but this is voice recognition cause I'm using my mobile phone now.
Thank you! I can´t see any "crappy" writing, your reply is fine.
Loving this game, I get caught up in the market/making money and ignore all the nudity sometimes lol.
Can't wait for 1.5 hope we get more shells/more bot parts/capabilities.
I reached the Beacon of elements and have the exotic ores. How do I use the ores? do I land and sell them to the beacon? I don't know what to do with them. I need a better explanation.
there is a walk-through document linked to the original post. It describes the solutions to all the beacon challenges.
I am looking at the PDF and all it says
"Proceed to the Beacon of Elements and solve the Challenge (use the exotic Ores you loaded, Galaxite can be obtained at the Elemental Fields, Solution: Boron, Promethium, Infernium, Morganium, Halidium, Chtonium, Galaxite). It is recommended you load up on some Chtonium in the Fields as well, you need at least 3 later"
It does not say how I use the ores.
The sequence in which the elements are listed is the sequence to use them in the terminal within the beacon tower control room.
The sequence in which the elements are listed is the sequence to use them in the terminal within the beacon tower control room.
If you got stuck at activating the beacon tower remember the start of the game. Use your wrench on the terminal button. :)
I'll try it.
Hi yv0751, there is a soft lock if you accept the rescue princess seraphina rumor before the merchant intercept rumor, it is extremely difficult to progress since you have to rescue the princess first before the game allows you to intercept the merchant at the same nav point
Ah, yes those are using the same nav point. I just thought I'd prioritize the "older" quest (Seraphine) in this case as you need her anyway for later.
I almost finished this game but got stuck. The last task was The Way Home At Last, but I didn't know how to complete it at all. There were no prompts, and I couldn't reach The Waystation. It's really a great game, so I wanted to complete it and had to seek help
good to hear that you enjoyed the game so far.
in the Beacon Towers, there are usually hints on the right side of the wall. You can also download the walk-through which is linked in the original post for the game which has all the solutions for the beacon riddles.
Little annoyed we can't copy the premium shell... It's one thing to make us choose between wealth and Verity, man. But come on, choice between Galaxina bot and Galaxina episode!? Come on! At least turn the muiltverse pod into a New Game + feature so we can get one first playthrough and the other in a second.
Just tested... Muliverse pod works as a New Game + feature, but I still hate that premium shells cannot be replicated... could you maybe at the capability to purchase these shells for the reward amount? It's one thing to not be able to make a shell, it's another to only ever be able to acquire it once... please make it so that Iltari will start making "backup copies" of the shell for exclusive purchase in version 1.5 because that's just souring otherwise...
premium shells (I, P, G) can be crafted.
The only premium shell that cannot be crafted is the Galaxina shell. maybe there will be a quest for the in V1.50
I keep getting "An error occurred during installation runtime error: slice bounds out of range [:-1]" when updating. Please help.
always install the game in a completely new folder.
please also note that the game is not save game compatible between major versions
Thanks. I'll try that
Hope it works.
I forgot to mention: Do NOT use mods like URM etc
If the issue still persists, please describe in what circumstance, whether reproducible or send me a save file and I'll analyze it.
I never use mods with the game. I had to re-install and am checking things now. Thx!
what do each of the daily task do they are a little confusing. plz respond cuz idk what they do.
How do I control mining when playing on android phone?

How do you get more of the voronian vortex since i've been trying to mine and loot the vornian ships but i still haven't gotten any(Never mind I was just really unlucky but now i got it
How do you unlock Xenos station?
I completed the library quests, received the Voron laser and now I'm supposed to buy beacons and a Voron hyperdrive at Xenos station. Once there and clicked on the panel, MC wonders how he could get his ship upgraded. Yet there is no further clue on how to really get any interaction or an option to buy anything.
Buy on board your own ship by using your cargo terminal
Thank you!
Great game, keep up the good work. I'm looking forward to your future projects.
Hello spacejourneyx the chain reaction during ore mining has been stopped what needs to be done to get it laser is MK 11
to avoid the chain reaction you need to avoid the hazard fields
do you have a discord i could join to see new games coming out, or chat with the community?
There is a free tier at patreon as well as subscribestar (see links on my profile page) where I occasiaonally post for everyone.
There is a discord too but that is limited to paying patrons as I want a certain member vetting.
Hi there, loving the game but I seem to have hit a snag finding V. I got BB to open up lower decks and I have link over 80% and Khelara is in my crew but BB has never talked to me. Also in lower decks I do not see maintenance just Aux 1, Mess Room, Armoury and Med Bay. Any help?
maintenance is the cell just one below the turbo lift mini map.
it is on deck two where the laboratory is and the holo deck.
Investigate the door in the maintenance section and your assistant will tell you how to proceed and what he needs to analyse the situation
Dude that reply was impressive in speed and thanks for helping out a dumb old guy :)
Hey! I'm currently trying to infiltrate the biolab in krell space, i have all the components needed so i head over, go check on my infiltrator bot and... its gone. I had separated the shell because the bot was awesome, but the shell itself is gone... How can i get another one? if that is even possible, since in very clearly says "unique" in the walkthrough...
Thank you for the amazing game and your time!
Either it is stored in the ships cargo as bot (check that) or you indeed scrapped or lost the shell.
If so go to the Outer fields again and you'll get a lower grade but sufficient replacement there. If you don't, then the game has identified a shell in your possession (check cargo, warehouse, parts once more)
In worst case, open console and enter:
GAME.lab.parts.append(GAME.sbPartsData["SBPShell2TypeI"].clone())
how do you get v's "social interactions"
after she joins the crew of your ship, you have to wait a few days and then she will visit you in the morning and ask for social interaction training
