Components are materials required to build and repair electrical devices, as well as produce firearms, armor, and ship parts.

Acquisition[edit]

Components can be crafted at a fabrication bench, each requiring Steel 12 Steel, 5,000 ticks (1.39 mins) of work modified by the general labor speed of the crafter, and a crafting skill of 8.

They can also be obtained by:

Ore[edit]

Compacted machinery in game

Compacted machinery tiles have 2,000 health each, making them slower to mine than stone or many ores, but still significantly faster than uranium and plasteel ore. They can be found in small veins, ranging from 3 to 6 tiles in size. Each mined block has a base yield of 2 components, however this is modified by factors such as the Difficulty setting and the mining yield of the pawn.

    • 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 lamps and soil. "Rerolling" weapons for quality consumes a lot of components.
    • ABC - (Always) Buy Components. Traders are, for a significant part of the game, the only renewable source of components.
