Basic Upgrade
Basic Upgrade that increases crafting efficiency.
Notes
The Basic Upgrade is a general-purpose module that increases a crafting station's efficiency. It fits into any module slot that accepts a Basic Module, making it a foundational upgrade available before a room reaches higher material tiers. Because it improves the speed or resource cost of any compatible station, installing one is a straightforward way for any player to get more out of their early crafting setup.
