Construction Research Unit

[Mikel S]

During the Expedition, the Construction Research Unit had many pages, but once I got my ship, it only showed 4 pages, Core Habitation Tech, and 3 pages of basic structure panels. I vaguely recall having to buy additional base blueprints from a specific trader, but I cannot find them on a space station or at any of the habitats I've come across. Any help?

In the expedition, once your ship is orbit capable the game assumes you will summon the Anomaly for blueprint access, so the Construction Unit loses all the extra pages. Until then it's a part of the planet locked challenge they gave us a way around by expanding the base Construction Unit library temporarily.

I'm having the same issue and I don't appear to have the option to summon the anomaly.

Anomaly gets summonned after the second hyperspace jump.
People are saying the research unit gets nerfed after you repair the 3 pieces of ship to get it in orbit (the Hyperdrive does not count).
Too bad I did not know when I played, but it is not critical, I think.

To bad this is totally NOT explained in the game in any way shape or form.

PS I came here because of the same thing.

Bunch of BS they really should have thought of when were play TESTING, yeah right, this.

same for me

In expedition you get the construction research unit if you did finish your Base. You need to expand your Base, but wihout that CRU it´´s actually not possible.. What I do is :
Setup a little building (just floor, 3 walls, a door and the roof) ,, than I install as many of this little lamps until the Mission is done. Now I get the CRU :)

This 'feature' isn't well thought through. I was putting off researching all the storage (number) options until they were really needed. Now I've progressed to getting into space my inventories are pretty much full but the option to research storage has gone and the anomaly can't be summoned. I can't find the stuff to repair the hyperdrive so can't make the jumps to make the anomaly available! It seems I won't be able to complete the expedition after putting in fifteen hours and having completed all the difficult steps.

Search for 'herox' on the forum There are many ways to get it.

So, they played the Expedition, understood that they needed to augment the construction terminal to help people progress. Once they progress it reset to normal. AND somehow this is complained about as the exact opposite of what happened.

And you wonder why HG doesn't say much.

I hadnt played an expedition before and hadnt known the CRU was augmented. Yes i do realize its different than a normal playthrough but so are expeditions so the change to the CRU wasnt known to me to be temporary.

They make your Construction Research Unit become Construction Research Station as temporary for a purpose, helping you getting all the plans you need before taking off to space because many of the requirements are from the true CRS.
I bet you didn't know that we used to have all the plans at the beginning of the game and much easier building progress. Now we have to do many extra steps as much close as real life: gathering, combining materials.
