96% Device Fabricator Recipes
I've recently finished everything there is currently to do in the game, and have !00% in almost everything in the studies tab - with the exception of the device fabricator which is stuck at 96%. Is there anything obvious that i've missed?

Without knowing what is showing in your list, it is hard to guess what might be missing. Perhaps some screenshots would help?

I am the same and I am guessing I am missing the rain collector. Not sure if that if fixed or not

I am at 96% and do not have the rain collector

It's not. The devs will be back on it after the holidays.

I also have everything unlocked. Studies tab on "Scanner" shows everything completed, but on "Research Station" the "Device Fabricator" is stuck at 96%.
There is no Item within "Device Fabricator", that is not marked completed, so it would need to be an item, that is completely missing.
I currently have the following (warning, long list):
Rainwater Collector, Engine and Fuel, Furniture Fabricator, Small Storage Box, Tool Charger, Flashlight, Metal Collector and Metal Collector Head, Location Radar, Basic Turbine, Hanging Cabinet, Helium Fuel, Sticky Note, Docking Plank, Distiller, First Aid Kit, Small Water Tank, Big Garden Pot, Small Garden Pot, Improved Insect Lure, Biomass Fuel, Mydriasis Inhibitor, Charged Bolt, Moth Vivarium, Soft Cushion, Decoy, Capsaicin, Hemoglobin Purifier, Chitin Armor, Large Bottle, Electrolyte Pill, Brain Cleanser, Deck Extractor, Crystal Battery, Energy Crystal Fuel, Upgrade Fabricator, Virus Sample Analyzer, Hypothermia Booster, Oxygen Booster, Blood Coagulator Booster, Immunity Booster, Endurance Booster, Mobility Booster, Hydration Booster, Repair Thrower & Foam, Crossbow and Bolts, Storage Box, Fuel Tank, Charged Mine, Motion Detector, Advanced Medkit, Pipe Water Generator and Membrane, Recycler, Small Backpack Module, Poisoned Bolt, Stun Mine, Small Freezer, Medium Backpack Module, Sprinkler, Pipes, Encrypted Data, Virus Cure


What I did discover: The "Medium Backpack Module" should actually be under "Upgrade Fabricator" and the "Large Backpack Module" - even though I not only have the research, but have also built it - is nowhere to be found. Not in "Device Fabricator" nor in "Upgrade Fabricator". That might be the missing item.

I also cannot find a listing for large back pack in studies, even though I have one made and equipped.

Large backpack IS listed in blueprints.

I compared our two lists. Apart from a few typos and abbreviations, I missed Mobility Booster and Hydration Booster while creating the list, but I DO have them.
Other than that, the lists are identical, which leads me to believe, that it really is the large backpack module that is the issue.

I'm not sure this helps but I purchased the large backpack and used the upgrade device to created it.
Also the ARTIFACT LURE blueprint is purchased I dont believe you scan for it.

the artifact lure is missing from your list

I have the same issue with the 96% and have had it in my now 5 "testgames" allso so there must be either a bug or something I allways overlook scanning/crafting.

This is about research. The artifact lure is unlocked to build as soon as you buy it from the trade machine, so no research necessary.
I don't think you can buy the large backpack research. At least I haven't seen it on the trade interface. You can only find it in the Dust Suburbs, if I am correct.

The Medium Backpack is a scannable. The Large Backpack is fro the trade station. IIRC it's a tier 3 purchase, so it takes a fair bit of trading to unlock.

No, I got all three backpack types from scanning. The backpack you can trade for is the backpack for the insect, not for you!

Ok, I made sure and visited a trade interface again.
To be absolutely clear, what I am talking about, as some seem to have misunderstood everything I said:
There are 5 types of backpacks in the game
1. small backpack - found by scanning in the "New Nature Territories" In an airship near the trader
2. medium backpack - found by scanning in the "Underdust Suburbs" In a container, with an entrance obstructed by hardened vines
3. large backpack - sold by the trade interface (Tier 3)
4. basic insect backpack - given for free, once you find the insect
5. tactical insect backpack - sold by the trade interface (Tier 2)

I mixed up medium and large, as I found the medium last, after I already had the large backpack blueprint.

This means, that large backpack doesn't need to be researched and is therefore correctly not in the above list.
Still, this doesn't change the fact, that the medium backpack shouldn't be in the "Device Fabricator" section of the research, as it is an upgrade.
We are still missing something to get it from 96% to 100%...

Do the extractor upgrades from drop pods count?
