| Player use | Lost cargo from merchant bots; keep it with key-item and exploration storage. |
| Best check | Keep it in an airship or key-item chest so travel progress does not disappear into mixed storage. |
When To Care
Care about Lost Cargo when airship recovery, exploration cleanup, or key-item progress is active. Keep it apart from ordinary material storage so it does not vanish into a dump chest.
Practical Use
Put Lost Cargo in a labeled key-item or airship chest. It should be easy to find before the next recovery, dock, or exploration route.
Related Strategy
For resource planning, count backwards from the project you want to finish. A power push needs electrical parts and metals, a building push needs processed construction materials, and an airship push needs technical components. That is more useful than hoarding every pickup equally.
Common Mistakes
- Do not leave Lost Cargo in an unsorted dump chest if it feeds an active project; put it beside the station or build area that spends it.
- Do not burn or process a material just because storage is full; first check whether tools, power, building, animal care, or airship work will need it.
- Do not measure value only by rarity. A common material on the right route can save more time than a rare material sitting in the wrong chest.
