Young Suns First Day Route: Depart, Scan Gewgaw and Return

Set up the ship, finish Wednesday’s introduction, complete one Gewgaw scan objective and return aboard.

Your next move

Use the free passkey, crew table and map station to reach Wednesday and finish Dian’s introduction. Normally, place the crew table from Decorator inventory and withdraw the map station from cargo before placing it. If either table disappeared because of the fixed loss bug, the official 1.1.3 notes say affected players can find it again in the ship cargo hold. Then track Distributed participation for Gewgaw, complete the kupacite scan objective, report to Klos and return to your ship.

  11. Return aboard and leave the next job for later
  12. Footage and controls

Take the passkey, then board

After the opening workshop route, Klos directs you to the ship garage. Select Ship passkey, priced at zero in the observed menu. The adjacent room upgrades and ship equipment are separate purchases. The quest then points to the hangar and boarding your ship.

Place and use the crew table

Inside the ship, enter Decorator and open its inventory. Select the crew table, choose a floor position and place it. Finish decorating and interact with the table. Select Send in the crowds, then confirm Start request. Leaving the table in the backpack does not complete the placement objective.

Set up the map before piloting

Open the cargo hatch and withdraw the map station. Place it through Decorator, finish decorating and use the map. Select Wednesday as the destination, then approach the pilot seat and start piloting. The crew table accepts requests; the map station marks destinations.

Recover a table only if it is missing

The normal recorded route uses the crew table from Decorator inventory and withdraws the map station from the cargo hold. Placement is still a separate step: select the item in Decorator, place it, finish decorating and then interact with it.

The 1.1.3 patch notes cover a different case. Players affected by the bug that removed their map and crew tables should have those items available again in the ship cargo hold. The notes do not describe another recovery input or a replacement recipe. If the items were never lost, continue with the normal placement steps above; if they were lost, use the bounded missing-table recovery guide.

Recognize the approach before docking

In the recorded example, reaching visual range of Wednesday did not complete docking. The task still showed Fly to Wednesday and an unchecked Dock at Wednesday. Selecting the destination and approaching the station are separate from a completed dock.

Read Docking as a progress state

A later recorded frame shows Docking... while Dock at Wednesday remains unchecked. This is a transition state, not the completion confirmation. The footage does not identify the triggering input, speed, distance threshold or whether the transition begins automatically.

Confirm docking before using the airlock

The recorded completion state appears back inside the ship: Dock at Wednesday is checked, Exit your ship is active and the nearby prompt says Disembark via the airlock. Those three cues confirm docking in this recording; they do not verify a current build or prove the character has already left the ship.

Disembark and meet Dian

Disembark through the airlock. At Wednesday, find Dian beside the large noticeboard and curved yellow seating. Talk, open the Classifieds board, then return to Dian. A completion notice for Send in the crowds confirms the request is finished.

Choose one field task

The welcome prompt lets you continue alone or save and return to the title for multiplayer; the co-op guide explains that unlock. For this day’s field trip, open Classifieds, select Distributed participation and track the job for Gewgaw. Mark Gewgaw on your ship map and travel there.

Collect the scan the objective asks for

At the Junk Oasis, speak to Klos beside the yellow desk. Open the kupacite tutorial entry in Jovipedia, hold its unlock action, then report back to Klos. Equip the analyzer and scan the pale kupacite formations until the tracked counter reads four of four.

Follow the illustrated Gewgaw route for the tutorial and deposit prompts. This objective needs scans, so a Requires Drill prompt is not a reason to start an unrelated mining trip. Stop gathering scan progress at four of four and take the report back to Klos.

Return aboard and leave the next job for later

Finish the conversation at Klos’s yellow desk, then return to your ship. The footage returns to the furnished interior after leaving the Junk Oasis. Open Classifieds there and confirm the completion tick on Distributed participation.

Flight safety remains available as another job. Leave it for the next session if you want to stop here: the field task is finished and you are back aboard. This is a suggested stopping point, not a claim about a fixed in-game day length or the shortest travel route.
