Catching Our Breath In a Steel Coffin in Ostranauts - Shipbreaker Dreams of Combat // EP2

Added: 2026-05-22

[00:00:01]Hello there fellow scrappers. Rodamon here. Thank you for tuning in to Astronauts Fire in the Hold. Episode two, catching our breath in a steel coffin. So, we're going to want to do is we're going to set up a situ uh set up the ship so that we can make use of that air pump and make use of O2 can. Um, and that requires us to like get some flooring.

[00:00:33]Okay. Uh, so I think what I want to do is I'm going to set it up here, which means this thruster I'm going to restore and then sell because this is where the optical um sensor is going to go cuz I just don't have enough like floor space for two things. Why are we suffering from hypoxia? It's totally not an issue in this cabin right now.

[00:01:02]Shut up game. I'm not suffering from hypoxia. Truly, I am not.

[00:01:15]We're essentially on uh KG air right now. So, it's not like uh it's not like I'm I'm fine. I'm pressurized.

[00:01:26]All right. Uninstalling the thruster.

[00:01:30]Actually, that's where How about I'll just do this. This is where I'll install the O2 tank.

[00:01:36]That will work rather than to move that twice.

[00:01:44]So, the current priority is get the coffin ship with a supply of O2.

[00:01:53]Now, there is a um a caveat here, which is that if you only pump in a lot of O2 and it's highly pressurized, you're increasing your chance for fires.

[00:02:02]So, we need to be cautious about that low pressure oxygen if it's not um if there's not a lot of nitrogen in the room.

[00:02:20]And I'm going to install the pump here.

[00:02:27]Actually, I'm going to cancel that for now. So, let's go grab those items.

[00:02:33]The thruster. I'm going to go pick up and sell.

[00:02:42]And then move the uh the pump back inside the ship so I can make use of it.

[00:02:51]So, sell a 2K thruster.

[00:02:55]We don't need it.

[00:02:59]All right, let's go pick the pump back up.

[00:03:09]All right, the last thing I wanted to do before leaving is to buy a floor so that I can put a oxygen canister on it.

[00:03:33]So, let's buy a floor.

[00:03:38]Uh, what style ship do I have? This is Tazudo 49 series. All right, we'll just buy one of those then.

[00:04:03]And I'm not going to send to the Bazone.

[00:04:04]I'm just going to carry it. So now we have a floor to be installed and let's go back to the airlock.

[00:04:13]So yeah, KAG has three ports to dock on so that you can do maintenance uh for ships that are dry docked, which is nice.

[00:04:30]Come on, keep moving, dude.

[00:04:43]Why is it saying I can't install floors here? Is that because there's no Ah, there is no floor underneath this wall.

[00:04:56]Okay, I need two floors.

[00:04:59]And then I also need to close all my airlocks and uh dump all of the oxygen out of my ship.

[00:05:07]Fun.

[00:05:09]Let's go get another floor.

[00:05:15]Freaking coffin ship for real.

[00:05:20]All right, take a deep breath cuz I'm going to be holding it for a bit. Let's put these floors away. Helmet off.

[00:05:27]helmet on.

[00:05:30]Close these air locks because uh I'm about to vent out all the gas in this coffin.

[00:05:39]So, I'm going to be uninstalling this wall to put a floor underneath it cuz there isn't one.

[00:05:45]And I can't add another floor without a floor being here essentially.

[00:05:53]So, this ship was incredibly jank.

[00:05:57]more jank than I uh had expected.

[00:06:03]But I closed all the airlocks so that I'm not messing up K leg. I'm not like a out, you know, cuz if you open up all their airlocks and you let all the gas, that's a big old problem for the people that live in there, right? So now we have a little floor there. Um, at some point I'm going to need to fix all of the floors and walls on this like hunk of junk cuz they're all wrong. But the good news is I'm also leveling up a little bit. Um, in terms of my skill, meaning that I'm like getting faster at doing these things.

[00:06:38]Okay, taking a breath. Helmet back on.

[00:06:41]All right, let's get that floor back in or the wall back in so it's airtight again.

[00:06:46]resume.

[00:06:50]Okay. So now it's an airtight uh it's an airtight structure which means in the compartment here we can uh lowkey steal some gas from the station and I have a place to put an oxygen can uh when it is time to pressurize.

[00:07:18]So, what I want to do is I want to get the Yeah. Okay. We're We're nearly at the the right pressure for oxygen and nitrogen.

[00:07:28]Uh I don't care about someone getting framed.

[00:07:32]All right, let's go ahead and use the fuel kiosk.

[00:07:36]We are going to pay for RCS fuel and power.

[00:07:41]And then we have no other fees being owed at the moment.

[00:07:46]Um, I think we're ready to go.

[00:07:51]So, close.

[00:07:54]Close.

[00:07:58]Close.

[00:08:01]Use.

[00:08:03]All right. Operation. Get me some oxygen is underway.

[00:08:18]It built me wrong as a joke.

[00:08:22]Sick name for a ship.

[00:08:29]All right. Bearing at zero. Almost zero.

[00:08:32]There we go.

[00:08:36]Tracking mode for my own ship. So, we're blasting off back to the tutorial ship because it had a big tank oxygen and buying a fresh one was what, like 11,000 or something. So, yeah, I'm going to absolutely not buy a fresh one.

[00:09:01]And we have a good amount of oxygen and uh nitrogen in this uh shuttle at the moment.

[00:09:09]And it's not like down to one thruster.

[00:09:11]My my thrust to weight ratio is still fine because I have a tiny little puddle jumper. So, it's not really an issue at all.

[00:09:40]All right, ready to proceed.

[00:09:43]Time to bring it in.

[00:10:06]8 m a second.

[00:10:11]Nice and aligned.

[00:10:13]Clamped.

[00:10:16]Okay, we know exactly where we want to go. In fact, uh this part of their ship has a little bit of uh pressure because it like we bled pressure out from our own ship. Here we go.

[00:10:33]Oh. Uh, in this case, no, we can get there.

[00:10:42]Uninstall. And now we're at a times three. So, way faster than before cuz we're not a bumbling idiot anymore.

[00:10:48]We're still bumbling, but less of an idiot.

[00:10:53]And we are going to fly out this hole here and go to that uh floor in the in the you know that I installed and install the O2 can and then go back indoor ship.

[00:11:12]Um what's the pressure in here? It's rather low for oxygen. So, I'm going to pick this pump up and uh start installing it now without taking off my pressure suit helmet yet.

[00:11:42]Okay.

[00:11:47]control panel.

[00:11:55]The compartment right now has 38 kPa and it's like only a little bit oxygen. So, I'm going to control panel this thing and I'm going to slow on.

[00:12:10]As you can see, it's adding oxygen to the room. I don't want to over oxygenate it because if I do that, uh, it's a it's a it's a, um, explosion risk. But, I'm going to raise the oxygen KPA to like something like 25ish.

[00:12:27]And then take off my helmet.

[00:12:31]Control panel off.

[00:12:37]Helmet off.

[00:12:39]It's breathable.

[00:12:42]It's not great, but I'm not going to die.

[00:12:47]I'm also cold because I don't have a I don't have a a a heater or anything, but you know, whatever. I'm alive. And like that's 90% of the battle.

[00:12:58]Uh, all right. In this hunker junker, there might be I might want to get that nav station if I can um grab it.

[00:13:12]I'm also going to force open these doors.

[00:13:16]H whatever. I don't care. I just don't want like at some point they might close and lock. So, let's go ahead and uh uh what is in here? I'm going to uninstall this wall and see what's on the other side.

[00:13:36]What did I uninstall the floor? Dang it.

[00:13:38]Uninstall the wall. See what's on the other side.

[00:13:47]It's a bin with junk.

[00:13:54]Okay. I'm feeling a little unwell. Copy that.

[00:14:02]And if you're ever wondering about your stats here, general malaise, and this is because mild headache.

[00:14:16]Oh, it doesn't even have the status effect.

[00:14:22]But, uh, hypercapnea is like too much CO2 in our blood. So, we're going to need to address that if we continue feeling unwell.

[00:14:44]And nav stations are typically Okay, here we go. O2 high.

[00:14:49]Cancel. Go back to the shuttle and refresh.

[00:15:02]compartment here. Might want a little bit more oxygen. So, control panel. And the reason why I can't like auto I don't think is going to work is there's no oxygen sensor for this room. Like I don't have an oxygen sensor on board. So, I can't set it to auto. it it is not going to do anything cuz normally it would try to uh to keep it within a human breathable ratio but like yeah there's there's no sensor for that yet.

[00:15:44]Okay. So now we are reoxygenyated the room a little bit. And obviously what what's going to end up happening here because we don't have a better setup is like we're going to waste a lot of oxygen. So this is definitely a system to be improved at some point. But it can't really be improved until I have um more funds because my salvage license is going to run out and as soon as my salvage license runs out, our means to um to make money goes out the window pretty hard.

[00:16:16]Okay, still getting the O2 high. We're getting pretty close to having this thing uninstalled. And then the other thing is there might be um there might be the components required for maintaining it here.

[00:16:32]Oh wow, they really depressurized this room.

[00:16:36]How much money do I owe for this coffin?

[00:16:38]Um 100k or so.

[00:16:57]Yeah, I shouldn't be hypoxic anymore.

[00:17:07]Just hungry.

[00:17:15]All right, let's go back.

[00:17:18]The other thing is uh you might have just saw those conduits spark.

[00:17:23]Electrical components that are like low on HP will start to spark, which is a fire hazard.

[00:17:34]Uh in order to repair this, we need five electrical parts. And there's three right here.

[00:17:45]And uh the king here might be worth taking as well, but there might not be space. I don't think there's going to be space for it. Not unless I put my um fire extinguisher. No, even then there's not space for it. So, we have the nav station, uh which is probably the bulk of the money here.

[00:18:06]the Miniac uh the mini battery wouldn't be bad to grab. I just there's not salvage space at the moment. And I could of course like spend time to rip apart the ship for parts, but uh I'm going to say it's not ultimately not worth it.

[00:18:21]So, uh let's reoxygenate the cabin here back to something breathable cuz right now it's like tiny tiny amounts of oxygen cuz I'm going to need to breathe soon.

[00:18:35]And this O2 can's only used up about 2% of his oxygen because there's such a tiny volume of a coffin cabin here. Oh, don't open that. There's such a tiny volume for the coffin cabin here that it's it's pretty cheap to fill even if it is wasteful. So, here we go. We're about 22% oxygen. That's fine. Let's turn this back off.

[00:18:57]I can take off my helmet and sort of breathe.

[00:19:04]And what I would like to do is get back to KEG, repair this uh nav station, and flip it for money to be able to buy a salvage a 24-hour salvage license because and and maybe some food because we're going to be running out of salvage license soon. In fact, I think Wait, what? 1 hour left.

[00:19:34]Okay, there we go.

[00:19:37]Sweet.

[00:19:43]All right, I'm going to hook up autotask where we just like automatically start repairing stuff.

[00:19:49]Doing any repair tasks will make us more skilled at repair, which has us work more efficiently in the long run. So, like restoring our shuttle is also building our skills. And the reason I can't restore the nav station is it's broken. So, I need to replace components for it first.

[00:20:10]We're even restoring a fire extinguisher. Um, is my nav linked?

[00:20:16]Yes.

[00:20:18]Nice. So, my PDA is linked to my nav station automatically. So, we'll be able to uh I'll be able to see whether proximity alarms are like real or not.

[00:20:35]Come on. Come on.

[00:20:40]Docking, please. I want to dock with gate A.

[00:20:48]Okay, coming in.

[00:21:12]done.

[00:21:17]All right, I'm going to steal oxygen again and nitrogen shamelessly cuz I live in a coffin.

[00:21:29]Let's pick up this nav station and then buy the required scrap in order to get this up to working order so that I can sell it with my current license. So, put it on the ground here.

[00:21:42]Open this door, please. There we go. So now my um my death pod is being pressurized. So this thing needs a heat sink motherboard, two more electronic components, and one scrap steel.

[00:21:55]Let's try to buy that from the crap vendor.

[00:22:00]So motherboard, heat sink, two electronic, and scrap steel accept.

[00:22:13]And some of it was dropped in my um Oh, it's in my hands. That's fine.

[00:22:24]All right. Hit repair. And now with all the required components to be able to repair this. Oh, I think I didn't buy the scrap steel cuz I didn't have space for it.

[00:22:35]Uh yeah, that's what happened.

[00:22:48]Where is scrap steel anyway? Oh, you moved it to the bottom. How rude.

[00:22:55]All right, let's get this thing repaired, restored, and then uh sold.

[00:23:04]Doesn't drop on the floor when there's no space. Uh I don't think it did. I don't see it anywhere. So, I'm gonna say nope.

[00:23:16]So, now we're delivering parts to it.

[00:23:19]The repair parts required and repairing it. And once this repair job is fully done, uh, it will be restorable.

[00:23:32]Before we do that, let's go ahead and get a quick bite to eat.

[00:23:38]I'm not going to opt for like actual real food. I'm going to opt for uh absolute horrible junk food cuz like that's what we have the money for. So, I'll do trenchers in mystery meat.

[00:23:52]Depressing. One day we'll be able to afford nice things. But time to ponder what this mystery meat is and eat it.

[00:24:00]Yum.

[00:24:04]So, now we're no longer hungry, and I'll fast forward through the repair jobs.

[00:24:12]The current priority is to repair, nav, and sell for a uh salve license.

[00:24:37]How much time do I have left on my license? It expires in 40 minutes.

[00:24:44]I can just read it. So, I'm going to try to restore this thing as much as I can until it expires. So, it expires at 16:02, which is in about 40 minutes, 38 minutes, something like that.

[00:25:20]Come on, Hunter. You can do it.

[00:25:27]So, like 4 minutes before it expires, I'll sell this thing for whatever we restored it for so they can buy a new license.

[00:25:42]So, the higher the more I refurbish it, the more it's going to be worth.

[00:25:49]The other thing you could do is um I tend when I'm restoring stuff to pick it up and restore it because then you can see its percentage in your inventory.

[00:26:00]So, it's like 24, 25, 26, so on so forth.

[00:26:14]What's in the inventory? I don't know, but it's going to get sold.

[00:26:22]Whoops. That's not what I meant to do.

[00:26:29]Time zoom control, map, and uh nav control.

[00:26:35]Not very much.

[00:26:38]Now, uh, this restoration is using up some of my soldering iron power, but I'm not going to worry about that. I need I need the money. And the condition I'm aiming for is 95% or running out of time. Anything 95% and up will sell for like full credit. And it looks like I'm going to be able to get this up to 95% before the time's up. Yep. So, then we go over to the license kiosk.

[00:27:03]sell. And I can sell this thing for 5.8 grand. Boom. Because it's like new condition.

[00:27:10]Oh, yeah. Accept.

[00:27:14]So, I have about 9,000. I just paid the docking fees, so I have 8,800.

[00:27:19]Um, and I'm going to buy a 24-hour license for 5K.

[00:27:25]And there goes most of my money.

[00:27:28]Um, the old license here, if you're wondering, like old licenses really have no value. So, I'll just show you. Not wanted. Uh, I could try to like flip it to the fence or whatever or scrap it, but ultimately I don't have enough time to like build up a rep with the fence.

[00:27:47]So, as you can see, nobody wants it. So, what I'm going to There's only like 5 minutes left on it. I'm going to throw it out in the trash.

[00:27:56]There we go. So, we have uh made our first big purchase, which is the salvage license, which I will be able to keep for the next 24 hours. And uh we are in need of some cash.

[00:28:27]Shut up. All right. Um, I do have optics in on this ship, so I can look around to see if there's any ships that look like they're highly profitable using the optics that I have installed because a highly profitable ship is going to help me out immensely. This one.

[00:29:04]All right. I think what I'm going to do is undock.

[00:29:07]Oops. It's not what I meant to do.

[00:29:15]Celebratory coffee. Hell yeah. Cheers.

[00:29:20]All right, I'm pulling away from the station now. So, I'm pulling to the south here.

[00:29:29]Uh, this might have some good stuff.

[00:29:38]The issue, honestly, that I'm going to run into is my ability to loot stuff. I I'll go to this ship. my ability to loot stuff will be severely hindered by the fact that I don't have a lot of space and I don't have a lot of oxygen. So, I'm actually less interested to make a lot of profit and more interested to um improve my ship so that I can survive in it or to get a Bingham suit. One or the other.

[00:30:06]Because making oodles of money when I'm like barely alive, not super important to me.

[00:30:20]All right. So now I'm going about 100 into my destination and I'll update the priority of what I want to do is improve the coffin ships survivability.

[00:30:42]So, uh, I'd be looking for, uh, an N2 tank, a pump, an O2 sensor, an N2 sensor, and then a door.

[00:30:52]Um, because just an air lock without another door comes with some real um I out gas a lot every time I I cycle the air lock. So, those things are going to be probably the most important.

[00:31:10]I'm not going to go back to the tutorial wreck. And again, no back seating. The tutorial wreck has nothing of actual value left on it. Uh so burning fuel and oxygen to go back to a wreck that you know has virtually nothing has virtually no value.

[00:31:36]Oops. That's not what I meant to do.

[00:31:39]Um, yep. It was a false alarm. There was no way I was that close. It was just someone parking at Kle throwing alarms.

[00:31:59]So, we're just trying to restore stuff on the ship. uh especially the electrical stuff because if it gets too wrecked, it will be a uh an ignition source for fires. The problem is with the nav station and the battery nested like it is, it's going to be hard to restore the stuff down here cuz I just don't have physical access to it without uninstalling the nav station first. So, that's going to be last.

[00:32:28]This might be real.

[00:32:31]Yep. This is real.

[00:32:46]All right, we are going to be docking with this much larger craft.

[00:32:53]Let's hope there's no like pirates on it that want to kill me.

[00:33:19]First derelict. The clamps on your docking ring engage and your hall resonates like a strunk gong. While your sensors scan the vessel for data, you close your eyes and imagine what fortune could await you on the other side.

[00:33:32]Perhaps you found a racing skiff, a nimble vessel with a lightweight hull pushed around by the top-of-the-line RCS package and 4 can a hydra intake regulator. Or maybe you've stumbled on a multi- cabin pleasure yacht, an elite catamaran complete with a fullbar corridors adorned with yards of crimson and cream van hmel interiors. Or maybe it's just a dead frighter, a decades old titudo hauler packed with trash and sporting a giant hole where the reactor used to be. This is a junkyard after all.

[00:34:07]Um, okay. Proximity alarm, go away.

[00:34:11]Let's turn that off.

[00:34:15]It's because I'm very close to whatever this other point of interest is.

[00:34:21]Uh, I don't see any obvious life signs.

[00:34:24]So, light in hand, toggled on, helmet on, going aboard.

[00:34:36]So, there's immediately a pump here.

[00:34:37]This is turbo air pump. There's some motherboards. Uh, I don't really need a tur turbos are worth a good bit, but I'm going to look for even higher value salvage. Uh going in a bin with ammo casings and an oxygen can with 81% gas. That's going to be nice to grab. Uh there's also two pumps here with N2 can. Uh what I'm again what I'm looking for is increasing my survivability more than profit.

[00:35:10]So checking the walls for sensors. Oh, a ankle grinder.

[00:35:16]Very nice. It's in pretty bad condition, but its batteries is fresh.

[00:35:28]And another stir welder in worse condition than my own.

[00:35:39]Uh, a b uh a got battery charger, which allows me to recharge batteries, the the green batteries. That's really nice to have. I don't have a place to put it yet, but I'm going to want one. Oh goodness.

[00:35:54]Hell yeah.

[00:35:56]A Weber laser torch. That is the most important tool that a salvager can have.

[00:36:01]That thing is worth so much money. Now, of course, it doesn't have a battery, so it's not super worth it until I have a battery for it. But I'm happy about finding one cuz my god is it important.

[00:36:17]All right, we just got a larger tote.

[00:36:19]So, I'm going to move my stuff over to the larger tote and get rid of my old tote. Uh, I'm just going to put my old tote on the ground.

[00:36:28]This is a little bloody, but it's better.

[00:36:34]Uh, drink pouches, trash, old electrical components.

[00:36:51]We have crates.

[00:36:53]This one is not locked.

[00:36:57]I could pick up one of these crate. Oh, this one's locked. And I'm just going to hack it open. We could pick up these crates. and um and use it as uh or or the other tote, use it as additional storage, but I'm not going to worry about that right now. Right now, um I'm just looking around to see what's going on, just to see what's here, cuz you don't really know what to salvage until you survey it all, right? I don't want to be spending a lot of time salvaging something lower value. All right, here's a better battery charger than the one cuz the one we had was pretty damaged.

[00:37:34]Here's a better crowbar than we had. So, I'm going to switch up crowbars and got chargers.

[00:37:42]I will need to make my way back for oxygen soon. Uh, but I probably have a little bit more time. A power drill.

[00:37:48]Nice. This one does not have a battery. Got it.

[00:37:55]Does my So, my angle has a battery. I'm probably going to need my power drill more than my angle grinder.

[00:38:02]And then with that in mind, I can get rid of the screwdriver. Uh screwdriver is a nice backup in case you don't have power to your uh power drill, but like ultimately it becomes unnecessary.

[00:38:15]We have a sink with no liquid. We do have some trenches here uh but I'm not going to worry about that. There's some other food as well.

[00:38:25]Uh, hygiene packs cuz you freshen up with like wet naps, some bullets.

[00:38:35]Oh, a PDA. A locked PDA. I'll take that.

[00:38:38]Uh, cuz that's probably going to be worth a lot of money and I'll unlock that in just a minute. Coveralls and a t-shirt.

[00:38:48]Now, I haven't seen any like installed stuff that screams important to me.

[00:38:53]Um there no like fusion components or nothing like that yet.

[00:39:05]Uh let's go ahead and unlock the PDA cuz it actually might have some visual. Uh so I'm a hacker so I can just pop it open like that and hack it. So do you have Yes, you do. You have mass and power. So now I can visualize mass and power again. So if we do power, as you can see, there's like power all over the ship. It just doesn't have power.

[00:39:30]And then mass. And in the mass visual visualizer, we can see that there's a Kang intake here that's broken, a Kang intake here that's broken, and some other racks. So I'm going to use this uh visual uh mass visualizer to help me find the things to loot. There is an old laser array. This is a damaged laser array. So, there this was a reactor room that like blew apart.

[00:39:54]Uh, so I'm going to first check the bins, then I'll start uninstalling stuff because I probably don't have too much oxygen left. Another power drill with no battery. Um, this is in slightly better condition than my other one. So, I'll switch and put the other one on the ground.

[00:40:19]There is a IR sensor here um infrared sensor. So that finds um engines and torches. It gives you an additional optical lay uh additional level of optics. Uh for now, I might grab it if it's like worth the salvage, but probably not if I'm I'm probably not going to install it because there's nowhere to physically install it.

[00:40:45]Oh, an even better crowbar.

[00:40:49]Battle of the crowbars.

[00:40:57]Okay. Junk.

[00:41:00]Another PDA.

[00:41:03]And the power viz. The the the things that you can hack the inventory into the PDAs and the data in the PDAs can be worth a whole lot. So, this one has a modded tier one cartridge and another power visualizer. So, what is the modded tier one cartridge? Let's take a look.

[00:41:21]This gives me power with How is this even modded? It doesn't like have any mods.

[00:41:32]Okay. Well, whatever. Uh, let's go back to mass and power.

[00:41:45]All right, there's CO2 cans, racks of nothing, racks of walls and floors.

[00:41:56]Walls and floors. Okay. Uh, I think that about wraps up everything that's physic.

[00:42:01]Uh, did we check these bins?

[00:42:04]I think I did. Yeah.
