How to Get Vehicles
Scan Three Tadpole Fragments

To get your first vehicle, you need to unlock and craft the Tadpole first. Begin by scanning three Tadpole Fragments to unlock both the Tadpole blueprint and the Vehicle Fabricator blueprint.
Also Unlock Upgrade Blueprints
To unlock related upgrades, you will need to locate the Scout Ray Chassis or Tadpole Haul Chassis and scan their vehicle fragments. These chassis upgrades can be crafted later to improve your Tadpole's speed, maneuverability, and overall utility.
Gather Crafting Materials
Before you can craft your first vehicle, gather all materials needed for the Vehicle Fabricator, Docking Station, and the vehicle itself.
| Note! | This includes basic resources and advanced components that may need to be processed using other fabrication stations. |
