How to "scan" the last Blue Core
So, I've run into a minor issue. I have scanned 3 Blue Cores, but need to scan a 4th before I can activate production of Blue Cores. I have 5 x Blue Cores in my Inventory, but cannot scan them. Is there any way to scan ANY Item that's in one's inventory?!? I've tried placing the Core, but I still cannot scan it. Any suggestions?

hey! there's a map that shows all the scan locations made by the community. there are some spoilers on it, but this is probably the best way to show you?

there are actually 6 places you can scan blue cores!

OK. I started using the Map, which is where I found the 10 or 15 Blue Cores I have in my Inventory. I'll look around and find where the Blue Cores to be scanned are located, that I haven't scanned yet...

Good luck!

Its part of the story progression. Just keep doing the main-ish goals and you'll get it.

Unfortunately, I'm getting stuck in a near Catch-22... I know there's ALWAYS a way around it, but I cannot yet get into the room with the Explosive Charge, to get that item, and one of the solutions requires Blue Cores... I'll get in without it, I believe, but was stuck on that specific issue...

The room with the explosive charge requires that you look at the terminal and input the needed items. None of that should require blue cores. If you can't get into the planter area, there are a few ways to dig inside.

Rush exploring the central waterfall area and get those waterwheels. That is where I also found the last blue core to scan I think...

Those waterwheels are so essential to making a proper factory...

I got that one. Like I said at the beginning, I've scanned 3 of the 4 needed.... Just dealing with some Health Insurance issues before I can get back in and try to find the 4th Core to scan...

Already got Water Wheels in place and operational. Just about to expand that area to the max number of Water Wheels that I have on hand...

Have you found the plant grower factory and the electrical sub station place with all the accumulators? Pretty sure there was at least 1 core in one of those...trying to remember where I found them all hah

The others came from getting into the crashed ship via the bombs.

Yep, got both of those. Electrical Substation is in active use with the existing and "repaired" Accumulators. I have the gear to repair the door being built in Assemblers and will get the Explosives once I get through that door...

I posted this on another thread but I lost it...there's one in Excalibur, one by the water wheels, one by the accumulators, one by the freight elevator, one at the living quarters (far north) and one in the first warehouse (crank to open)....there may be more but there's at least those 6.

No you need processing units (40 of them) to open that door, and that is purple core tech, take 30 purple cores to unlock. You just need treashers and planters.. and you only need 2 crank generators to open the door to warehouse where those are (come to think of it that is where the door is)

Also there are four blue core you can get without going to EB

I've since gotten in and gotten both the Blue Core and the Explosive Charge. I'm actually in the process of rebuilding my production factory and more efficiently designing it. My Lima Station area is already set and I'm now going to build a "Bleacher Bus" near Victor Station.
