Beyond your suit, your tools and vehicles define your capabilities. A good 'build' involves having the right tools for the job. Here are some essential items:
- Hand Manipulator: Basic resource gathering. Upgrade to Advanced Manipulator for faster gathering and more durability.
- Laser Cutter: Cuts through light debris and doors. Upgrade to Plasma Cutter for heavier obstacles and faster cutting.
- Grabber: Extends your reach for distant items. Upgrade to Advanced Grabber for even greater range.
- Oxygen Balloon: Essential for early game oxygen extension. Upgrade to Large Oxygen Balloon.
- Scooter: Your first personal vehicle, allows faster travel. Requires 20x Metal, 10x Plastic, 5x Battery.
- Rocket: A more advanced vehicle for faster and longer-range travel. Requires significant resources including Titanium and Uranium.
- Prawn Suit: A heavy-duty exploration and combat vehicle. Unlocked much later in the game.
Always carry several tools and ensure your vehicles are fueled and repaired before long trips.
