Salvage

Salvage refers to items and materials recovered from a ship. Salvage can be recovered and sold for credits by moving the item to the appropriate location, either the barge, the processor or the furnace. Salvage placed into the incorrect location will be destroyed. Salvage is valued by item quantity or by mass in kg. Salvage can be removed from a ship either by pulling it off using the Handheld Utility Grapple or can be cut off using the Modular Laser Cutter. Some salvage is hazardous, when damaged or pulled from a ship they can injure the Shipbreaker or damage other salvage items when they discharge or explode. At the end of a shift, the value of all recovered salvage is totaled in the Salvage Summary.

Salvage Bay
The salvage bay is the work area for dismantling ships. The barge, processor, and furnace are part of the bay. Above the bay are Jax, immovable objects which serve as grapple points. If the Shipbreaker goes too far out of their bay, they will be warned to return and a timer will start, after which they will die and be respawned at the Master Jack.

Barge
The Barge is located at the bottom of the Salvage Bay and consists of a glowing, translucent green field surrounded by a thick metal frame. It is used to collect goods and complex items, such as engines, seats, or lights. These items are valued by quantity.

Processor
The Processor is located on either side of the bay, characterized by a glowing, translucent blue field. It is used to collect simple but intact and reusable components like the ship's outer panels, doors, or fuel pipes. These items are valued by their mass in KG.

Furnace
The Furnace is located on either side of the bay, characterized by fiery red emissions. It is used to collect metals and scrap, such as the ship's inner aluminum panels or the various chunks and shards leftover after an explosion. These items are valued by their mass in KG.

Processor and Furnace Pull Weight Limit
An important note about the Processor and Furnace are the 'pull fields' directly in front of each, which will pull items with a mass of approximately 17,000kg or less inside. The beginning of this area on each respective entrance is denoted by the yellow and black danger stripes which run along each wall.

Barge
.* There are eight different types of computer terminals: Overhead monitors, wall mounted, floor mounted, and ones on tables in various configurations.

Furnace
.** Equipment mounts attach consumables, such as medical kits, to the interior walls of the ship. The HUD does not register a tooltip for them until they have been cut loose from the wall.

List of structures
The majority of a ship's mass is made of large structures (e.g. cockpit, frame, and hull panels) connected by cut points.
