Advanced Upgrade
Advanced Upgrade that increases crafting efficiency.
Notes
The Advanced Upgrade is an Efficiency Module that increases crafting efficiency at a workstation. It belongs to the family of general-purpose upgrades (Basic, Modern, Advanced) that replaced the old numbered tier system in Update 14, so its effect is read from its own description rather than assumed as a flat percentage. Placing one requires the station to sit inside a room of sufficient material tier.
