**Q:** Can you return from Venus?
**A:** You need a Black Hawk with extra fuel in cargo.

**Q:** How do I make credits faster?
**A:** You can initially make credits by scanning moons and planets and then landing on them to take atmospheric readings and samples. This is a great source of income, but if you scan planets that you can't land on, this tactic will result in receiving unreachable daily quests. Another good way to make credits is by collecting 50 rock samples on each new world. However, after selling 50 the selling price will have dropped so much it is no longer profitable with a single-use lander. After you have completed those options you can sell mined resources, such as gold ingots (150 Cr), titanium ingots (100 Cr), and titanium alloys (200 Cr), or help tourists. Once you have some decent capital, you can make serious income by building fleets of vehicles and sending them on expeditions. If you get really stuck, you can gain some credits by watching ads.

**Q:** How do I get tech points?
**A:** You can get tech points by doing the basic missions on every world. This will give you 5 tech points per world. After unlocking Off-World Research, you can also launch research expeditions on outposts, which give between 1-15 tech points at a time, or use Research Tools to examine research sites found by your scans. Further, you have daily quests that give 17 tech points a day if you complete them all.

**Q:** How do I get more astronauts?
**A:** Scroll all the way to the left on the Earth screen. That building is the Astronaut Hiring Center.

**Q:** How do I assemble rovers off-world?
**A:** Either keep all three Vehicle Parts on the ship and use an astronaut, or build an Outpost and unload them there to use a worker. If you have built a Workshop, you can also use that.

**Q:** How do I reset my game?
**A:** Go to Settings→Apps→Tiny Space Program→Storage→**CLEAR DATA**

**Q:** I cannot complete the Phobos quest that requires me to craft 25 fuel, how do I complete this quest?
**A:** To complete this quest you will have to upgrade your landing pad on Phobos, specifically you need to upgrade the chemical fuel storage (or upgrade the Landing Pad to level 2). You can then either craft fuel at the Workshop, or build the Chemical Fuel Production module at the Landing Pad and staff it with a worker.

**Q:** How do I find resource sites?
**A:** You can find resource sites by scanning the planet/moon. To do this tap your outpost and tap the radar image. Another option is to "map out the area with a rover". What works even better is upgrading the radar modules of the outpost - either the Automatic Scanning module or the Satellite Link module - and assigning a worker that will automatically scan the surface for you.

**Q:** Help my ship does not have enough fuel to return, how do I retrieve it?
**A:** To retrieve a stranded space ship you can send fuel packs to it using a single use supply rocket. Another possibility would be to upgrade the chemical efficiency tech, which will make your rocket use less fuel and may allow it to escape.
