Can't craft Hydrochloric Acid

[CaptBasil]

I have scanned and collected Deep Shrooms, but the recipe isn't showing up in the Advanced Materials tab in the fabricator. What am I missing?

Try slicing at em with a knife to collect a spore, that might trigger it. I'd also report it as a bug using the feedback tool by pressing f8

It was worth a try, but collecting the spores didn't trigger the crafting recipes either. I've reported it as a bug, but it seems my savegame is screwed then, because Hydrochloric Acid is required for some of the Seamoth upgrades. :(

Not quite, you can use the console to get the item you need for it. I'm trying to think if there's something you gotta do before you receive that blueprint, maybe plant a spore in an exterior growbed and harvest a shroom once it's grown or something. What's the module you're trying to create?

Make sure that the Deep Shrooms you are hitting are the little white ones that look like the ones in the spawn area, but bleached. Hit them with a knife and they'll explode on you, but you'll get the seeds. Also grab a few directly on top of just hitting them.

Oh, nice, this worked. I planted the spores in an Alien Containment, then harvested the Shrooms after they had grown, and that finally unlocked the crafting recipes. Hydrochloric Acid is required for the Seamoth Perimeter Defense System and the Seamoth Sonar, so now I should be able to craft those. :)

Awesome, glad it worked out eventually without needing to resort to cheating!

I've just had a similar issue again and might actually know what caused this now.

Maybe someone can confirm this, but I think the issue is that collecting a resource with the Prawn Suit and then grabbing it out of the Prawn Suit Storage does not unlock crafting recipes related to that item. You actually have to harvest the resource yourself without using the Prawn Suit.

I doubt it's intended to work this way, so it might be either a bug or an oversight by the developers.

Are you using the fabricator in the lifepod or one you've placed in an UW base? I'm pretty sure its one of those things that has to be built from a fabricator in an UW base.

I can confirm this. Had same problem as the first guy, grabbed shrooms with my Prawn first, then came here when I couldn't craft Hydrochloric Acid. I've yet to see if harvesting them will work, but there is a console command to unlock blueprints, for anyone haveing problems getting it to unlock. Definatly a bug I'ma report, hope the devs fix it soon.

Immediate follow-up: just drop a shroom on the ground and pick it back up, should unlock blueprint for acid

Yeah, I was trying to drop one on the ground to see if I could knife it, and then I picked it back up and got the blueprints. So the lesson is harvesting them with the Prawn will not give you the blueprint, it has to be by hand.

[MellowEcho]

um don't know if you solved the issue and by now you already probably made a save but what I did to fix the bug was to verify the game files go into the game load up the save go into the ocean drop the items needed to craft the hydrochloric acid and pick it back up mostly the deep sea shrooms that you need

[Moravakman]

CONFIRMED! Bug is with Prawn suit picking up the mushrooms. When I dropped them on the ground and picked them up by HAND for the first time, it gave me the recipe :-) This worked for me!

Thank you for this thread, I wouldn't have guessed it on my own I think ;)

I'm not usually for necroing but this is very acceptable and helpful for people still playing.
I applaud you for a meaningful necro.
