Crash Site

A Crash Site is an area containing a crashed FICSIT Freighter (Drop Pod). There are 89 Crash Sites around the World. Scattered around the Crash Site are various components as listed below. There will also be a FICSIT Freighter that (usually) needs to be repaired in order to access the Hard Drive inside it. They are generally either located in hard-to-access areas, or are guarded by large hostile creatures. Some crash sites may be located inside Poison Gas or surrounded by radioactive Uranium deposits.

Locating

 * Upon researching 'Radio Signal Scanning' you can scan for Crash Sites with an Object Scanner. With the object scanner equipped, until the Crash Site is selected.
 * Players can refer to online maps for Crash Site locations and the requirements to unlock them. Take note of their z-position which represents the elevation (units in centimeters), and plan ahead.

Retrieving the Hard Drive
First the Freighter needs to be repaired. Open the Freighter's UI to find out what specific items need to be present in the Engineer's Inventory. In some cases, the Freighter may also require Power to be repaired. If that case, build temporary Biomass Burners to supply it with temporary power, or connect it to a Power Grid. The supplied power must not be less than the required power or else there will be a power trip.

Once all the requirements are fulfilled, the handle on the Freighter's UI can be dragged down, opening a hatch and allows the retrieval of the Hard Drive.

Tips
As mentioned above, it is advised to keep building materials for Biomass Burners. Using other types of generators will require fluid input which may be complicated to setup for such temporary works. If a large amount of power is required, consider hooking it into the main Power Grid. The most common items needed to open the pods are Rotors and Circuit Boards, but in some cases they require High-Speed Connectors, Modular Frames, or Black Powder. It is advised to bring plenty of ammo for the Rifle, a Jetpack, and a Gas Mask.

Possible challenges when searching for crash sites: It is possible to have a combination of challenges at a single crash site, thus it is advised to save the game before attempting to approach it.
