To avoid not being able to use this exploit, either do not install new patches before using this exploit or delete the patches.
Note: This exploit/glitch was performed on Patch 1.03 of the game. Then, enter the options screen and reload your previous save to get your money back, have the same exact inventory slots and upgrades as your previous ship, but it will look like the one you bought. In any space station, enter and exit your ship twice to create two identical save points. You can avoid patches being installed by disconnecting from the internet until you are ready for the game to install new patches. This exploit will also help you to get "The Diamond Age" (have 2 million units) and "A Space Odyssey" (warped 60 times) gold trophies. So make sure to reinvest your money in a larger ship at first. The larger your ship's inventory, the more effective it will be. You can also duplicate Gold and Emeril to get millions of units in just a few minutes. You can do this to get lots of Warp Cells and reach the center of the galaxy very quickly. The more duplicates you have in your inventory, the faster it will go. Step 5: Collect your grave to get your duplicated item(s). The grave has a duplication of your ship's inventory. This will put your item(s) back in your inventory and your grave will still be there as well. Step 4: When you respawn, reload your previously saved game in the options. This is best done by attacking a space station. Step 3: Get yourself killed while flying your ship. Check manually under "Options" in the pause menu to confirm that it shows both saves with the same timestamp.
Step 2: Get in and out of your starship two times in a row. Everything you do not want to duplicate can go in the exo suit or be sold. Everything you put in your ship will be duplicated - allowing you to duplicate multiple items at once. Step 1: Place the item(s) you want to duplicate in your ship's inventory. First, create a backup of your saved game in case something goes wrong or it gets corrupted. You can make millions of units in just a few minutes by duplicating stacks of Gold, Emeril, or other expensive resources.
