How do I craft a microprocessor? I have the required ingredients.

[ash]

See title.

The game is telling me to Craft a microprocessor in an empty slot in my inventory.

The log screen it tells me I have the required carbon nanotubes and chromatic metals.

However when I go to my inverntory no microprocessor is available as a crafting option.

As a result I seem to be stuck in the system unable to build a hyperdrive. This is quite frustrating actually.

you can buy a microprocessor at the space station. but you will learn the recipe for it if you are doing the base building quest

Or do the base building missions and get given the blueprint.

Is this a bug? As mentioned, the game is telling me I can craft it in my inventory using the ingredients I already have.

You have to do the base building mission. Did you hire all the specialists in your base?

I've built the initial small wooden wall building and the computer, blueprint analyzer, that's all. I am now needing to build the hyperdrive (requires microprocessors). The game has not mentioned anything about hiring specialists as yet.

the game will tell you to start the base building quest if you build one of the big rooms ( to learn via blueprint analyzer ) . to get a processor now just fly to a space station and buy them

you probably pinned the craft for a microprocessor somehow (or the game did) turning it into a side quest. if you dont have the blueprint for this you wont be able to make it (unpin/abandon it in the log screen)

hi ash.

at this point and where you are at currently, you will have to purchase or find (green/yellow random boxes found on planets) the micro processors. easiest way is to do what the mission tells you to do and fly to the spaceport and buy them. they are 18k-19k each.

later, once you start the base tutorial missions (not the base archive missions you are currently doing), you will be able to do a mission that will award you a blueprint for the microprocessor, and you can then craft them whenever you like.

if the artemis mission (main quest) does not trigger the base tutorial for you.. you can trigger it yourself, by "learning" the "round room" recipe by purchasing it through your blueprint analyzer, and building it, preferebly next to the base you claimed. once the round/circular room is built, the base tutorial will start.

right now, you are around 3 or 4 missions from that trigger.. if you don't get the base tutorial trigger before you are asked to talk to Apollo.. then the game did not trigger it for you and you should trigger it yourself. again.. best to stop the main quest at the mission where Apollo asks if you are ready for the important mission.. and start/finish your base tutorial missions.

confusing.. yes. but you will understand once you reach those missions

all the best.
