Quick Answer

Scan three Wakemaker fragments around early science platforms, then craft it at an improved Fabricator with silver, a wiring kit, grease, and a basic battery.

Steps

  1. 1Check early science platforms around the Lifepod for Wakemaker fragments.
  2. 2Scan three fragments to unlock the craftable blueprint.
  3. 3Prepare the silver and electronics chain before returning to the Fabricator.
  4. 4Carry spare battery power or plan a recharge point once the tool becomes part of your normal route.

Tips

  • The Wakemaker is not a replacement for oxygen planning.
  • Use it to shorten repeated resource runs.
  • If you only have enough silver for one craft, compare Wakemaker needs against oxygen and wiring priorities.
