Processing Scans

Processing Scans

Your suit comes equipped with a scanning tool (default 'M'), the secondary action on this tool allows you to scan an unknown material in the world. The tool will also automatically scan any unknown material absorbed by your build tool. This information is uplinked to the research station.

The first tab in the research station lists any remaining unknown materials and allows you to process these scans to learn more about them. Processing the scan will cost power and grants the number of research points shown which can be used to research additional recipes or projects.

Most of the recipes you research can then be crafted in the manufacturing plant, some will require specialised construction facility. Check the survival handbook entry on the machine for more information.

The research station can be powered directly from the Central Power Hub (CPH), however the power transfer rate will be limited when the CPH is low on power.

Researching Projects

Researching Projects

Projects typically improve your technology level in a particular area unlocking new recipes either directly or through the recipes tab in the research station. Simple projects can be performed by the research station alone at the cost of power and research points. More complicated projects require the assistance of the laboratory. The laboratory is itself a research project which must be unlocked.
