A little clarification on the "You can only do one bounty at a time." You can only do one of a specific bounty at a time. You can work on, say, the shiv bounty and the syringe bounty at the same time. But, you can't double the number of syringes and get twice the bounty. Love seeing more department onboarding videos.
Cargo is definitely my most played department. It's that perfect mix of low floor, high ceiling. I can just relax and run around doing bounties, which let's you see most of the station. Bonus: If you're a Antag Cargo Tech, people kinda expect you to be away from the department for long stretches of time. Perfect for crimes.

Personal favourite cargo gimmick is at the end of the round spend all the remaining money on Mothroaches, at least back when I did it they seemed to have a really high chance of being sapient when purchased, so all the people that died in the round can chitter away on the emergency shuttle. Plus you can stuff a whole bunch of them in duffel bags.
Excellent guide! A few things that are nice to know, in addition to what was mentioned: - You often can print things in the lathe, such as tools, that people may ask for. You often do want to have various tools on hand anyways as some bounties require you to craft items. - Your lathe can hold an infinite amount of materials as long as those materials can be put inside the lathe. You can pull materials out of the lathe with the buttons on the right side of the UI. - Since you require cargo access in order to approve purchases (in most servers), placing the cargo request computer in a publically-accessible area is excellent if you are short staffed. People can often order anything they want, and then you can approve those orders at your discretion. - You can disassemble any (unlocked) crate with a screwdriver to get some mateirals! Since the empty crates will eventually pile up over the course of a shift, this can save you space and money. You can build new crates by hand with the crafting menu as well. - Being proactive can really help you in the long run. If you see there is no chef for example, order a pizza delivery before everyone starts getting too hungry. - Your biggest customer is usually going to be the Science department. If you can keep them happy, they may research helpful tools for you like a teleporter! - As mentioned in the video, you can put a Reason onto your orders. This will be readable when you examine the crate with the purchased items, so writing down the department or the name of the person ordering the items is a great way to remeber what is going where. You can either call them over radio to let them know their crate is ready, or deliver things directly to them.
cargo tech (and janitor) were really great beginner jobs for me; learning how to do stuff like work with various consoles, finding departments, and piloting the ship are great building blocks for other, more difficult jobs all the way up to command. glad to have a newer guide for folks just jumping in :7
Thanks... I had a lot of problems trying to learn cargo when I started :P Most people were just saying "We just buy stuff and bring them to other departments" which explain nothing. This video should help the new players. Even learning what bounties meant took me sometime back then!
A guy took me to the mail room, and told me to deliver all the mail. Was so much fun trying to track people down, and seeing the chaos that can happen on the station
The collision damage bit is noz fully true, you can damage the station, i clipped the solars asteroid shielding once a few days ago at decent speed and tore it clean off
hey i have a question. which server are these nukie spectating videos from? are they like dedicated crew vs nukie ops servers or are they just random raids from nukies?
This used to be possible, though I believe it has an anchor now, preventing it from moving. Also, Centcomm reeeaaally doesn't like it when you dock the ATS to the station. Had a QM do that once. Cargo was fined $1,000,000,000 and a death squad came to arrest him.
Guide to QM based on my observations: take your department's lathe and any other lathes you can get your hands on to the ATS. Anchor them into the sell area and start printing firelock electronics nonstop. Sell the printed firelock electronics to buy materials for more firelock electronics, which you can do with your QM specific tablet without returning to the station. Congratulations, you have made a money printer. Proceed to buy gambling crates whenever possible, keeping the goodies and selling anything useless.

Don't forget the CT job of keeping the QM sane as they listen to the dying screams of the salvagers as they get ripped apart by monster meatballs.
Cargo techs are just reserve salvagers.
@@Liltenheadshould have read the fine print
All Cargo techs are encouraged to read "How Cargo got me out of prison" by Randolph P Checkers

They are always sentient. I prefer buying a lot of lottery crates though. If you buy enough, you're pretty much guaranteed to get something fun.
Ive been waiting for this video for YEARS. A real cargo tutorial! And no one got throngled!
I had a real cargo tutorial, it was just really old.
I will throngle you

Great vid showing the facade to maintain as a techie, until it's time to reveal your true role as a glorious champion of Cargonia.

as a new player, cargo is definitely my favorite job as I can have a lot of interactions while not needing technical knowledge
Cargo is a tider with a job. Nothing is stopping you from breaking into atmos and making trit to sell.
Remember kids, they can't nuke the station if the station itself has already been sold.
Hail Cargonia! ❤
Hail Cargonia!
Literally had my first shift yesterday, and this pops up today. Love your videos!
A guy took me to the mail room, and told me to deliver all the mail. Was so much fun trying to track people down, and seeing the chaos that can happen on the station
Ah cargo, the department that is welcoming to antags 90% of the time as long as they bring somekind of profit
Don’t forget the most important role of cargo techs, hijacking the ATS and bolting it to the side of cargo
Every server I join, cargo is usually the most popular job
Hail Cargonia
I started playing SS14 at Cargo. Now I'm finally able to play Captain but Cargo is still #1.
For sir randalph p checkers sake move freight, miners dont die, hail cargoina.
I LOVE WORKING IN CARGO, I LOVE MONEY 🤑🤑🤑🤑💰💰
BIG MONEY TIME
The collision damage bit is noz fully true, you can damage the station, i clipped the solars asteroid shielding once a few days ago at decent speed and tore it clean off
it was already detached then, you can't cause damage with shuttle collisions
Can you still drag the trade station back with you?
No, it is anchored.
@@Liltenheadyou can turn the ATS anchor of
@@nhivg I think you cant, that one is made to be always On.
But i think maybe you can turn off the station anchor and move the station to the ATS
@Bardomp yea or do that
Gun Cargo!
Gamba Gamba Gamba!
hey i have a question. which server are these nukie spectating videos from? are they like dedicated crew vs nukie ops servers or are they just random raids from nukies?
random servers depending on what rounds people send to me to watch
THERES A BLUE DOT NOW
Can you make the ATS into a shuttle?
This used to be possible, though I believe it has an anchor now, preventing it from moving.
Also, Centcomm reeeaaally doesn't like it when you dock the ATS to the station. Had a QM do that once. Cargo was fined $1,000,000,000 and a death squad came to arrest him.
@ Ah, thank you

No throngler?
The Throngler is dead. It is sad.
meme is over
Can't have shit in spacemans
i once gambled 20K as QM
while there was singuloose in the station
managed to get 1 million spesos and i said to cap that i quit on the spot
RIP throngler
lets go gamblingggg
For cargonia
They should give all departments a cargo request console thats linked to their department sending the request to cargo's console
i think that's what the fax is for, but people rarely use it
@@nuisanceguruit’s annoying to use tbh
