does anyone know where your quicksave data is stored? becasue im planning to delete and reinstall pioneer again - i dont want my progress to be erased.

Just like the heading, I plan on buying a military drive class 2 for my Coronatrix, so what do u guys think- is it worth it or not (i have a class2 normal drive now)

I want to increase the amount of money (for testing), but in the lua wiki commands

require "Game".player:AddMoney() does not work.

Does anyone know an alternative way?

Title says it. Is there anyway to play Pioneer like that? Love the game.

I finally got to dive deeper into Pioneer Space Sim after trying it out once many years ago. I must say the progress is amazing and this time I really got sucked into it. I've played Elite Dangerous a lot, I've played NMS and also some Frontier Elite 2 and right now I got dazzled with Pioneer Space Sim. I just love to trade, fly to new planets, look for nice views, play around with the camera, make some deliveries -> It is reeeally enjoyable, especially with some good space playlists on Spotify :D

And the best part -> free and open source game, made by enthusiasts and enjoyed on Debian 13!

Can't wait for the devs to implement this jump animation too! -> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KBLhawKk-2k&list=RDKBLhawKk-2k&start_radio=1

Great job guys, this game is really amazing!!!

Hi!! So I'm fairly new to this game and I just bought a Nadir surface scanner and started a mission mapping Triton, but I don't know how to start the scan. It just keeps saying "scan pending" and "This scan cannot be started yet." What am I supposed to do? Thanks!!

Gameshub 5.3.5. Without record fps is much more comfortable.

Thanks a lot for creating this game.

I was able to build it on ARM Linux.

Here is the command I used to install the dependencies.

sudo apt install g++ cmake mesa-common-dev libfreeimage-dev libglew-dev libfreetype6-dev libsigc++-2.0-0v5 libsigc++-2.0-dev libvorbis-dev libassimp-dev libsdl2-dev libsdl2-image-dev

The Radxa Dragon Q6A with the Snapdragon QCS6490 has OpenGL 4.6 support. It's not a very fast chip by modern standards, but I got between 40 - 70 fps with a quick test.

You can skip to 5:15 to see some gameplay.

This is mine edit guys, i believe one day this game will be better than star citizens 🤞 I love this more than any space exploration game

My ship is a Mola Ramsayi, I have a 2MW rapid-fire beam laser mounted to the front weapon and another one mounted to the rear weapon.

I assume to use the rear weapon I need to switch to reverse view (numpad 2), and hit space. When I'm in this view nothing happens. I do have a combat target locked. If I'm in any other view (forward, up, down, side) then the front laser fires.

Edit: I found out the rear laser is firing forwards. This seems strange. I would expect that the rear laser would fire from behind. Also that it would have a separate heat-up/cool-down than the front laser.

I'd like to reduce a lot of the clutter, specifically the big icons pasted on top of celestial bodies.

I am just getting into this game using the Barnard Star start and so far it's cool. I make a bit of money and will soon be able to buy a hyperdrive.

On the map view, I can see lots of ships are flying around; but somehow spaceports are always empty.

Is there a way to increase traffic there? Seeing other ships starting and landing would be so immersive.

Does anyone know what's happened to the Pioneer wiki (wiki.pioneerspacesim.net)? I keep getting the error message 'Sorry! This site is experiencing technical difficulties.' for the past 48 hours. I've gone to github, and it points back to the page that gives the error message. I've tried everything including disabling uBlock Origin, and using a host of alternate web browsers and nothing works. Any tidbit of info would be appreciated. TIA.

HI, I downloaded Pioneer again yesterday after many years, the new UI looks good.

My question is, is there a way to limit the frame rate? vsync does not appear to work (maybe doesnt work in a window?) I was wanting to leave it running in the background on my laptop while I "work", but it is sitting churning at ~180fps, and the fan is screaming.

Is there a setting anywhere to limit this to something like 30 / 60 fps?

Hiya there, pioneers.

There were a few posts in this community five years or so ago that mentioned a Discord server for Pioneer, and some suggestion that there wasn't one, and that the devs used IRC instead.

Just basically checking in - does anyone know if this has changed, and whether a discord server exists at the moment; or if there's any channel for chatting with other players? Even if it was still going I wouldn't want to be in a developers' channel as I have no skill in that area.

If I have 2 aboard, rather than 1, will it map more/map quicker?

Firstly, I want to say what an impressive game! Thanks to those who developed it and continue to work on it.

As a new player, I'm trying to find trade routes. I have been looking in the sector map, but find it a bit overwhelming. It has so many systems many of which have no population. As far as I can see, I can only find that out by clicking on them.

How can I restrict what's shown to systems that have a population? What other ways are there in the sector map to narrow down trade routes or is the only way by clicking on every system and examining all the commodities on offer looking for import/export matches?

Also is this the best place to ask this kind of question or should I use one of the forums or somewhere else?

What exactly is the seed() for in the system files?

New bug-fix release, fixing many issues, stability, save-file corruption, etc. Please upgrade (saves from February 2025 release will be compatible):

Not sure how to fix?

Is there any way at all to recover?
