V0.6.4 Here is how to get Launch Pad. And everything else.

[Mitragorn]

There is a new mechancs in game which personaly I dislike to the core as it is stupid. Some buildings are unlocked only after you obtain all types of materials needed to build them.

Following buildings are all made by Intermdiate Fabricator:

Launch Pad is best example as there is mission to build it. You will need: Aliminium Ingots , Sodium Powder, Synthetic Polymer and Silicone Wafer,
To obtain Synthetic Polymer you will need to unlock Chemical Plant first.

Chemical Plant requires: Aliminium Ingots, Sulphur Cake, Diesel Drum
To make Sulphur Cake and Diesel Drum you need to unlock Refinery

Refinery requires Iron Ingots, Carbon Fibre, Copper Wiring.


Fragmenter Y2 requires: Aliminium Ingots, Copper Ingots and Carbon Fibre
Liquid Extractor requires: Carbon Fibre, Copper Wiring, Silicon Wafer, Iron Ingot

There is also a new Advanced Fabricator that makes Small Base heater, Beacon Tower, Advanced splitter/merger L3 Silos, and liquid silo exactly same as one in Intermidiate Fabricator

Still have not finished all Resource missions that start with building Launch Pad but so far they gave little cash and 1 skin. Have to wait over an hour to produce 50 chlorine capsules for a mission so I set up an automation and went to share this info here.

Still no sign on ways to craft: Wind Generators, Solar Generators, Battaries, Scrappers.
Had to loot desert biom for these as feeding AC generator with organics is getting extreamly annoying very fast.

I believe that I have unlocked everything this version of game has to offfer as I mined all types of resources including thouse that have 0 use so far like niobium, tantalum and dimonds. Perhaps they will be needed of Launch Pad missions.
Hope this info helps.

awesome. thanks

I've just gone the combat route right to the end which is rough as heck with how gimped building is now and the ridiculous knockback explosive weapons have on techs.

I've not even seen the Intermediate Fabricator in the Basic Fabricator's list of stuff it can make. What resource do I have to pick up before the game decides Intermediate Fabricators actually exist?

Also while I've not explicitly looked apparently aluminium is just missing as a resource?....

There are 4 ways to obtain resource type in game:

1. Make it in one of processing building in your base.
2. Pick from crates or silos or from the ground from mining ( for first buildings like refinery)
3. When you fire at and destroy a tech part on the ground it has a high chance to obtain resource it is supposedly made of.
4. Find Scrapper in desert biom and scrap parts / base buildings / platforms


Picking resource type obtained from any of these methods will count toward opening base buildings.

Intermediate Fabricator requires: Iron Ingots, Carbon Fibre, Silicon Wafer
these 3 types of resources can be obtained from 2 following buildings:

Smelter 0E requires : iron and silicate

Processor requuires: iron ingots and copper ingots

Aluminium is still present in game.
Both unrefined and ingots can be obtained from tech parts of higher lvl
As for mining it is hidden underground now. Found mine in swamp biome.

I used to play the same way you do, ignoring quests and just killing tech for parts in 0.5 version of the game. However problem with this version is that you need to travel across water and that requires sea tech parts or alternatively you can fire in oposite direction while on water to make tech move. Last method is real pain in the ass and takes tons of ammo and pain to maintain direction.

Hope this helps.

Where is desert now? And where do you find oil? Oil is whats stopped my progression now.

Hello Mitragon, where are the resources hidden you talk about?
I only have Iron, Lithium, Silicate, Organics and Debris!

Go to game starting location in forest biom and open map. Look at an arow like pointer to the E. Now sail or fly towward it and you will get to desert biom. There will be 2 bases nearby. You need one located on the island with arena like construction wherre desert boss will be waiting for you. Oil is located right at the entrance of that arena. It is exactly same as in 0.5 version if you played it. To my knowledge it is the only spot in game for oil. Technicaly you can place at least 4 Oil extractors on that spot but I doubt you will need that much as oil is extracted much faster compared to 0.5 version. Apart from processing it for game progression, each oil will give you 100 rocket fuel which makes you airborn if you already looted thrusters from ice biome. I would also suggest to go on looting sprea in desert biome as it is only way in game at the moment to gather scrapper, wind turbines, solar generator and batterie. Scraper will give you everything you need exept for gold if you hate digging and love turning enemy tech into parts like I do :) .
P.S. Dont forget to use liquid extractor in swamps to gather Acid and process it into some sulphur cake as it is required to progress as well.
Hope that helps.

You need to get Lighting rod from Trader and mine copper around lighting threes to progress. After that you do S.E.E.D missions to unlock boat parts. From there you are "free" to explore world, but I would suggest going to ice biome as it is closest and has all OP weapons and cabs and other parts that will serve you well in both swamp and desert biome.
P.S. Dyson Shpere program rules :)

THX - yes, Dyson Sphere is very cool. I saw in a Vid of Oztron on YT that Cooper and Aluminium is burried in the Mud. You need the scanner and the Digintool from the Trrader. :-)

On 0.6.4 it is the Titanium that is now hidden underground as far as I can see (there may be other hidden resources but copper and aluminium are on the ground now). I was hoping that mining Titanium would unlock polyplastic but no such luck..

[CaptainX]

Polyplastic is the only resource I am missing at the moment to make wind generators with the advanced fabricator

[dragonsphotoworks]

Found desert.. and found a base with 5 enemy in it. A tower with bunch of wind and solar generators. A tower with a "ball" and a small bridge. And a crafting area with 2 large silos.

After clearing area I dont see oil. And dont hear any fluid sounds. And tier 3 scanner not showing anything either.

Aluminium was underground on jungle island for me.

Scanner does no pick oil on it. You need base with arena like structure with single big tech which is desert boss on an island on the shore. It is probably to the south ( right) from place you enmarked on the shore of biome. Oil will be visualised as black oil spill on the send unlike anything else.

There are several resources: Polyplastic (from scrapping wind generator), Photovoltaic (from scraping solar panel) and the top one Charging Cell (from scrapping Reserve power cell L3) that seem to have no way to obtain in game. Obtaining these resources open item you scrap in advanced fabricator. There might be 4th from scraping scrapper itself ( gona research it as I believe there were 2 of them in the desert) . As for these missing resources there I have 3 theories:
1. These items are not yet introduced to game. Chemical Plant has probably something to do with it as there are 21 input/output ports and only 10 or 11 current resource type possiibilities.
2. There is a new mineable resource in the desert that can be obtained by placing Beacon tower somewhere in the middle and scanning with top lvl 5 scanner. Gona have to play with it when I have time.
3. Some reward at the end of eighter enymy tech elimination quest chain or launch pad ( stuck on deliver refined chlorine that can not be obtained at the moment)

Please do write if you find a way to get it.

[Rickadead]

quick tip for the other blocks you said you haven't found.... get a wind generator from the desert and put it in the scrapper which is also in the desert structures :D you get the resources its made from.
