[1]unstable Fabrication bench cost

[MisterTim]

Ummm the Fabrication bench used for creating advanced components cost 2 advanced components as part of the build cost.
So you need 2 of the things you don't have which is why your trying to build it. Please tell me this is a bug or over sight.

Buy them from traders or destroy psychic ships.

[Broken Reality]

It is intended. Poison/psychic ships drop them and they are often in Ancient Dangers. Then there are traders. Not that bad honestly. I have 5 in my current game and I haven't even got the research for it yet, I am tribal though.

[MisterTim]

Are there any other items/resources I should be looking for on traders to stockpile that I will need later in game?

[Broken Reality]

The usuals, components, plasteel, uranium (if you want to use sniper turrets they use it as ammo now).

[erdrik]

Gold too.
Or at least it was in the previous beta versions.
I dunno if 1.0 changed what requires gold.

[Sirsir]

Gold is required for the multianalyzer and ADV components, so yes add gold to the list

[Broken Reality]

Yeah gold is needed but you don't need much of it. Unlike the others which you need all you can get most of the time.

[XeoNovaDan]

Ancient danger cryptosleep casket pawns tend to carry gold on them, so that basically negates the gold cost too. Just remember to actually strip them to be able to get your hands on the stuff.

Btw RNG gating doesn't count as story telling

This is such a broad statement that it loses any and all meaning it has.

The requirement for adv. components are fine as it is in 1.0.

It's not really RNG gated. Outlander bases always have some in stock.

[Sirsir]

Btw RNG gating doesn't count as story telling

Actually it does. It doesn't count as game balance, and fortunately it doesn't exist since you can literally go buy some.

[Broken Reality]

Btw RNG gating doesn't count as story telling

Hmm there are multiple ways to get them that is hardly RNG gated. Open and Ancient Danger and boom gold and adv components (also guns and armour if the people in the caskets are hostile). You can literally call a trader in on demand and buy some off of them if you make the effort to ally with an outworlder faction. How is that RNG?

[selmephren]

I have yet to see a trader come walking around with advanced components.
