Crafting, blueprints, and upgrades explained

The confirmed crafting loop

Official material links exploration and scavenging to learning blueprints, building equipment, and upgrading the spacesuit. Repairing and dismantling machinery are also part of the launch foundations, making objects in the world potential tools, obstacles, or sources of useful material.

• Explore and scavenge resources
• Learn blueprints
• Craft tools and equipment
• Upgrade the spacesuit
• Repair or dismantle machinery

Why there is no recipe list yet

The 2025 demo is not a safe recipe source for the launch build: the developer later emphasized that the game had changed substantially. The calculator on this site therefore uses clearly fictional sample data until recipes can be checked against the released version.

What the live guide will answer

After launch, this guide will document blueprint sources, workstation rules, verified ingredients, upgrade prerequisites, alternatives, and whether crafting can draw from storage. Each recipe will carry its build and verification date.
