* '''Conserve your components'''. Often, the simplest way to have components is to not use them. Don't build unnecessary power generators. [[Hydroponics]] are unnecessary if you can just use [[sun lamp]]s and soil. "Rerolling" weapons for [[quality]] consumes a lot of components. | * '''Conserve your components'''.

Excess food, leathers, drugs, and other resources can be used to buy components. Your stash of components can run out surprisingly quickly. Even when you have Fabrication, trade allows you to turn excess and otherwise useless resources into useful components. |
* '''Research Fabrication quickly'''. Fabrication is an important and useful technology, but requires Microelectronics and Multi-analyzer before it is available. You will also need to buy or obtain 2 [[advanced component]]s before you can build the actual fabrication bench. You may want to research other technologies, like Machining and Gas Operation, before you dive straight into Fabrication. As mentioned above, you will also need steel to make components, and steel can run out quickly. | * '''Research Fabrication quickly'''.

:The preferred way to get steel is using a [[ground-penetrating scanner]] and [[deep drill]]s. Once you have the ground scanner, deep drills, and a fabrication bench, obtaining components should be much less of an issue. Note that the process of crafting components takes a chunk of time on its own. | :The preferred way to get steel is using a [[ground-penetrating scanner]] and [[deep drill]]s.

− | * '''Long-range mineral scanner'''. Unlike the ground-penetrating scanner, the [[long-range mineral scanner]] can find components directly. Every scan brings 100 - 140 components (before [[Mining Yield]] and [[difficulty]]), ready to be used. Note that the long-range scanner requires its own research and 2 advanced components to make | + | * '''Long-range mineral scanner'''.
