Mechanics Advanced Upgrade

Efficiency Modules

Advanced Upgrade that greatly increases efficiency when crafting Mechanics recipes.

Notes

The Mechanics Advanced Upgrade is an efficiency module that reduces resource cost and craft time for any Mechanics recipe when installed in a compatible crafting station. As an Advanced upgrade, it requires the station to be placed inside a room of sufficient tier – typically tier-1 or higher – to function. To use it, ensure the station is in a well-built, enclosed room with real walls, doors, and windows, as open holes no longer count for room detection.
