Hard Drive



The Hard Drive is an item resembling a heavy duty carrying case that can be found inside Wreckage.

It currently can be researched in the M.A.M., and results in a choice of one of 3 alternate blueprints, chosen from the following pool:

Alternative recipe generally cost only Two-Third of the original recipe, both time and required material. But some of the recipe require different input material.

There may be more - please update this page if you find more.

Sometimes the same recipe will show up more than once in the set to pick from. The recipes that show up depend on the current tier and what other Milestones have been unlocked. For example, researching Caterium opens up multiple new possible alternate recipes that involve it.

The set of blueprints to choose from is picked randomly at the time the scan has completed. Because of this, the player can keep re-rolling to get a desired blueprint by saving before opening the M.A.M. to check the analyze results, then loading the save if the choices are undesirable.

Tips

 * Alternative Steel Ingot, Encased Industrial Beam, Modular Frame and Heavy Modular Frame recipes are a good combo.
 * Alternative Screw and Reinforced Iron Plate recipes are a good combo.
 * Stitched Iron Plate and Iron Wire recipes are a good combo, when combined they use even fewer iron ingots than the other Alternative Reinforced Iron Plate (6 and two ninths of an iron ingot per plate instead of 8).
 * Alternative Caterium Wire and Iron Wire recipes can be used where no Copper Node is within close range.
 * Alternative Iron Ingot and Stitched Iron Plate recipes are useful where Copper Nodes are abundant.
 * Alternative Quick Wire, Caterium Circuit Board and Caterium Computer recipes are a good combo, as only a small amount of Caterium is needed to greatly reduces the raw material required for all other ingredients.
 * Alternative Rubber Cable and Caterium Wire recipes are not recommended as they will consumes a lot of rare resources, while not saving much about the iron and copper ores.
