Caravans may have them for sale. Other settlements may have them for sale. Same with orbital traders.
You can get advanced components from destroying a poison/psychic ship

Caravans.
*either your own, sent to friendly cities,
*or visiting caravans.
*Trade ships work, too.

Quests.

Mech ships come with advanced components.


If is almost inconceivable that you could play to that point in the game without encountering them yet.
You only need 2 for the Fabrication bench. Just don't spend the ones you do get before then.

Use the dev console to spawn some advanced components. :steammocking:

"But Veers, that's-----"

No, it's not cheating.

It's not?
ok..
Just what IS cheating then?
I'd call that cheating about on par with playing poker and having a pair of 17's in your hand.

It's not.

By its very nature, this game is more of a sandbox than an actual game. Also, the fact you need advanced components to MAKE advanced components leads one to wonder where EVERYBODY ELSE on the planet got advanced components. Sure, maybe the other factions got advanced components from a crashed poison ship or something, which in turn leads one to wonder how the race that made the poison ship got the advanced components to make the fabrication bench to make the advanced components to make the poison ship. Which----

Errrr.........

I'm overthinking this, aren't I??


Look, the game is supposed to be fun. You don't need to spawn in a finished fab bench, just spawn the components you need to build one. Make Rimworld fun again. :steamhappy:

You need a computer to design a computer, therefor by your logic there must always have been computers, therefor history is nonsense.

Initial premise flawed.

Our first computers were mechanical rather than electronic, designed with pen and paper, and built by hand. Old-school for the win.

Seriously, though--when I discovered I needed to get advanced components before I could make my own advanced components, my suspension of disbelief went "nope, ♥♥♥♥ this", departed my brain, moved to Alabama, and is now living in a wooden shack.

YES
And the first "advanced components" indubitably worked the same way.

There are many modern tools that seem to *require* having one to make one. A Lathe, for example, is impossible to make without lathe-made shafts. But....

You can, in fact, build a lathe from scratch. You build it as you go.

Spawning spaceship via god-mode to "win" game isn't cheating too? :steamhappy:

AI Core and advanced component are obvious bottlenecks by design so bypassing them is cheating.

Would you say that setting hunger rate to 0 isn't cheating as it's possible via in-game tools? xD

This is a single player game if you want to cheat cheat.
But dont pretend its not cheating...

^^^ THIS!

Really don't understand why some players are so hard to admit that they're cheating in single-player game. I have no problems with it - yes, I'm cheating for my own fun without any regret.

Although sarcasm is nigh-impossible to detect on the internet without the wanton application of emojis, I'm pretty sure GeneralVeer's statement of "Shush, it's not cheating" is their tongue-in-cheek way of saying, "this is a single-player game; cheat away if it makes the game more enjoyable for you". ;)

I don't see any sarcasm there. His command of English suggests he would be able to convey sarcasm without emojis, if that was his intention. I think he is simply saying:

'It's okay to cheat in single player games.'
(therefore)
'Cheating in single player games is not cheating.'

I personally think this is a bit silly, but the advantage of a single player game is that it doesn't matter what other people think. One thing I've learned from these forums is that none of us are really playing the same game.

M.K. is totally correct. This is true of so many things that arguing whether a lave is the best example is beside the point. I imagine you would need micro chips to design and manufacture microchips - unless someone wanted to design and build all the intermediate stages (of the last 200 years) that got us to microchips.
