How to sell items, drop junk, and route Bio samples

1. Pick what you want to happen

If the game returns not_sellable, do not delete the item just to clear the error. Check whether it belongs in another system—Biology samples, for example, go to the Bio Exchange.

2. Sell a normal item through the Shop

Paste these two lines into the in-game script that manages the item. Replace item_id with the exact ID from your Inventory or current in-game docs:

shop = get_component("shop")
shop.sell_all("item_id")

The first line selects the Shop. The second sells the matching stack, but only if the game treats that item as sellable. After the script runs, check that the stack left your Inventory and your credits increased.

3. Permanently drop an unwanted stack

Use this only when you are sure the entire matching stack is junk. As above, replace item_id with the exact current ID:

inventory = get_component("inventory")
inventory.drop_all("item_id")

The first line selects Inventory. The second deletes every matching item in that stack.

4. Route Biology samples to the Bio Exchange

Biology samples are not normal Shop stock. If a sample produces not_sellable, stop changing the Shop script and return to the Biology order and Bio Exchange workflow.

Current public instructions confirm that samples go to the Bio Exchange, but they do not show a complete automation script for the transfer. Use the current component docs and autocomplete for that step.

Why you see not_sellable—or nothing happens

• Make sure the item is in your main Inventory.
• Copy the exact item ID; the name shown on screen may not be the script ID.
• Check whether the item belongs in another system instead of the Shop.
• Use current Early Access autocomplete to confirm shop, inventory, sell_all, and drop_all still have those names.
• Never replace a failed sale with drop_all unless you genuinely want to delete the whole stack.

Before you run an Early Access script

These calls were described around Demo 0.1.12 and the launch build. Early Access can rename UI labels and script calls, so let the current in-game autocomplete confirm the spelling before you run them.

The important distinction is the result you want: Shop sells for credits, Inventory deletes without payment, and Biology samples go through the Bio Exchange.
