No rotors found

[vsemykin]

Hi!
Conditions: when starting with skip intro, do not make any details manually. To do this, you need to find four rotors to build the first assembler. Restarted the map several times. No rotors found. How is that?

Craft them yourself?

Rotors are unlocked at tier 2 - Part Assembly.

Are you talking about trying not to craft anything at all by hand? If so, you can't do that with rotors and must make at least 4. There are none anywhere on the map.

[kLuns]

You can unlock and build the awesome sink and throw other things you find in the world inthere.
Then you can buy rotors with the tickets in the awesome shop

Are you trying to do "no manual crafting" challenge or something?

I find that hard to believe. I'm fairly certain that I've seen the occasional stack of rotors at various crash sites.

Plus, restarting the game does literally nothing, seeing how everything on the game's map is always placed in the exact same spot, every single time, with zero variance.

This is just a clear case of the OP not understanding how the game works seeing how he is (somehow) not aware you can manually craft items, or that restarting the game from scratch does nothing at all when it comes to materials that can be found on the ground.

There are no rotors. See the wiki page on crash sites for the full list of currently available resources:

Could have sworn I found rotors near crash sites as well, Rocky desert area seems like.
I haven't played in a while so maybe I just am not remembering right. Maybe is motors that I am remembering :)

found motors in the desert in the new run I started so that's probably it

there are some rotors on the ground at crash sites
but in order to automate them you need to make at least couple of them just to make the assembler you can use to make them with. once that first machine is going you are go 100% automated on it.

When did my no - hand crafting playthrough I found I had to hand craft a number of reinforced plates and a small amount of rotors to get going
So my rule was more of a suggestion I guess.
the rule as I wouldnt hand craft anything I could automate...and it was a very good way to play the game

[vsemykin]

I didn't find any rotors. But I checked that without manual crafting you can’t get tools. Portable miner - only if you find the recipe. Therefore - "without manual craft" we change the "minimal manual craft".

[Vectorspace]

I think, you can find enough resources at crash sites to make an Awesome Sink and an Awesome Shop. You can then make enough coupons to buy the rotors needed to make the first assembler.

If you skip the new game tutorial I think you are given at least one portable miner, which I think is technically the only tool you need to progress?

there is a portable miner recipe?
why did I not know about this

In my playthrough I made maybe a dozen reinforced plates and probably 4 rotors but I made every single portable miners throughout the entire game because I didnt even know there was a recipe to make those.
I also played through the tutorial so I make a bit of plates, and rods as well before unlocking the constructor

[Warlords Welt]

I am almost sure that there were rotors to be found at a crash site only which one it was....

[DaBa]

So OP WAS trying to do no handcrafting challenge after all, I was cracking a joke but after reading the messages multiple times in confusion I am like 90% sure that was actually what was going on. Well, thank god, I thought he did not understand you can hand craft rotors or something

Well, in that case you can just buy rotors with tickets. Research Resource Sink Bonus Program, build a sink and a shop, get some points and get yourself rotors. You will be able to get everything you need for them through either random pickups or automation. Zero manual crafting required.

As for the portable miners, you CAN keep going on the portable miners you start the game with (if you skip the tutorial) until you unlock an alt recipe to automate it... It will be very tedious and painful but it's doable. It should be possible to beat the whole game with zero hand crafting that way.
