We’ve all experienced this, you’re in the heat of battle! 20 sentinels are attacking you, you defeat them but a piece of technology in your suit broke. Of course the first thing you would like to do is repair it with readily available materials…. WRONG! The technology, like 90% of the technologies require the un-craftable, dreaded ”wiring loom”. You need to return to a space station and buy them for the hundredth time. Of course, they’re one of the most expensive items in the terminal… and the terminals are the ONLY way to get them.

Why can’t we craft them? Obviously they’re most likely trade-marked by some gigantic space company that refuses to share the blueprints, therefore artificially inflating the products price and its demand. One real life example of this is coca-cola, their recipe is heavily guarded and any competitor that tries to replicate it is slightly off, making the coca-cola a one in a million product, sky-rocketing the demand. Wiring looms are extremely expensive due to this, we can’t make them ourselves. Whoever is behind making them KNOWS this and artificially increases the price, way over the manufacturing cost.

I find myself a little aimless playing thesedays with all quests finished and after getting all the units and upgrades I wanted. I’m wondering how you guys are playing the game and where you are finding the most fun. Are you working on building a specific base idea? Collecting quicksilver or nanites? Beating up sentinels? Exploring new systems for paradise planets?

I’ve been mostly looking for paradise planets that look nice from space and on the ground itself, and with no night cycle. Using the freighter and just constantly warping and using the freighter’s planet scanner to check the planets. It does get old after awhile, though.
