Fabricator Guide
Quick Answer
A full Fabricator means a Fabricator you build inside your own base. The Lifepod Fabricator remains a basic one and will block some later recipes.
Requirements
- Habitat Builder unlocked
- A sealed base
- 1x titanium
- 1x copper
- 1x quartz
Exact Location
- Build it inside a player base from the Interior Facilities production category; place it on a wall.
Step-by-Step Route
- Unlock Habitat Builder by scanning two devices.
- Build a small sealed base with enough wall space.
- Open Interior Facilities and place the Fabricator from the production category.
- Use this base Fabricator for recipes that ask for a fully functional Fabricator.
Crafting Recipe
- 1x Titanium
- 1x Copper
- 1x Quartz
What It Unlocks
- Advanced equipment crafting
- High Capacity Air Tank route
- Sonic Resonator and vehicle support chains
Common Mistakes
- Confusing the Lifepod Fabricator with the full base Fabricator.
- Building a base without nearby copper/quartz routes.
- Skipping power planning once the base grows.
