I cant craft metal grid and medical component

[SergioVettel]

Hello ı just buy the game and ı was playing on survival mode on earth and when ı wanted craft assembler and survival kit i noticed ı cant craft metal grid and medical component. How can ı craft those? I like the game very much but these thinks annoying me.

You need a better assembler, survival kit has the smallest selection of buildable parts, basic assembler can do more but only the full assembler (symply called Assembler) can do all recipies.

Oh thank you so much ı got it.

You won't be able to make them until you find the required metals anyway. Time to fly, drill in hand

[!?!]

Yeah you need to make a basic assembler and refinery first, then go on a wild goose chase for cobalt since that's what you need to do basically anything worthwhile including building storage.
I recommend making a vehicle with an ore detector cranked up to max range.
Large grid if affordable and since you don't have cobalt for thrusters, it has to be wheels.

What I do is just make a large grid monster truck with nothing but a battery, antenna and an ore detector on it and just drive around. You have no way of saving that if it flips tho so be careful.

To get there, I recommend setting up a drill on some pistons in your base.
Enable experimental mode in the main menu to get the inertia tensor option for that, it'll prevent the drill arm from shaking and potentially blowing up.
You could also make a miner on wheels but those are a pain to align with connectors and if you drive that thing over a bump and it blows up or it flips, that's not a good time.

In any case, you'll want to get away from hand mining asap to get things rolling.

Thank you for your time. I want to ask also do o need anthena for ore detector ? or can it work alone ?

[M.Red]

the detector works by its own as long as there is ore around. the antenna will aid the detector on displaying the ore deposits on screen.

mainly a ore detector must be first choice to find stuff if your suit antenna is turned on ( Button "o" ) then it should work
if you add an antenna then set the distance to short range if needed (300m to 500m) this will consume less energy

Okay ı got it thank you all
