Required Materials
Tips & Strategy
You need 2x Quartz for this recipe — consider gathering surplus for future crafts that share this material.
Blueprint unlocks automatically when you first pick up one of its components — exploration naturally progresses this recipe.
Plan your base layout before placing — deconstruction returns materials but repositioning multiple modules takes time during longer sessions.
Total material cost is 3 items across 2 types — plan a dedicated gathering run or keep materials stocked in a locker near your Habitat Builder.
Requires the Habitat Builder — build one in your base early, as many mid-game upgrades and modifications share this specialized crafting station.
Consider placing Solar Panel near frequently used areas of your base for maximum convenience and efficient movement during gameplay sessions.
