Adjacency bonuses are a crucial mechanic for maximizing the effectiveness of your technology. When you place similar technology modules (e.g., three S-class Hyperdrive modules) next to their core technology (the Hyperdrive itself) and next to each other, they receive a significant stat boost. The border of the module will glow to indicate an active bonus.
