Crafting – Interstellar Frontier

Out on the interstellar frontier, there are no convenient supply depots waiting beyond the sector. Long expeditions into deep space demand preparation, ingenuity, and the ability to live off the land, making what you need from resources you discover. Mine asteroids, salvage abandoned wrecks, harvest exotic materials, and refine raw resources into the components that keep your ship moving.

From spare parts and repair supplies to advanced ship systems, ammunition, equipment, and everyday necessities, nearly everything you need can be crafted aboard your vessel. A well-equipped workshop and a stockpile of raw materials can mean the difference between turning back for civilization or pressing deeper into the unknown.

Raw Materials

Whether common or exceptionally rare, raw materials are the foundation of your ship’s self-sufficiency. Discover them throughout the frontier, refine them into valuable components, and turn the galaxy’s natural resources into everything your crew needs to continue the journey.

Metals

A broad stock of ferrous and nonferrous ores recovered from asteroids, wrecks, and planetary deposits. Once separated and processed, they provide the basic strength behind nearly every structure aboard a starship.
