Crafting Requirements
The Habitat Builder recipe requires its blueprint first. If the Habitat Builder does not appear in your fabricator or crafting menu, go to the Habitat Builder Blueprint page — the scan step needs to be complete before the recipe matters.

Missing Recipe Blocker
If the Habitat Builder recipe does not appear in the Fabricator, the blueprint has not been unlocked yet. The unlock requires scanning two degraded Habitat Builder targets with the Scanner. Complete both scans, then check the Fabricator again.
What It Builds
The Habitat Builder lets you construct base structures in these categories:
- Storage — containers for organizing resources
- Shelter — rooms and hull pieces for a livable base
- Power — systems that keep your base operational
- Equipment — workstations and tools that support longer exploration
It opens the core base-building loop and is one of the first major crafting goals after the Scanner.
Base Site Tips
- Choose a location near accessible resources and within safe oxygen return range.
- Scout an area thoroughly before committing resources to a base.
- Keep the first base simple — expand once you have a steady material flow.
