Everspace 2 is one of the most explorative sci-fi video games on the market. The game is set in an open world which encourages players to explore the universe, find loot, and create their own materials. However, unlocking crafting in the game can be a bit tricky, but there is a fast way to do it.
Crafting is an essential part of Everspace 2. It’s necessary to know how to craft in Everspace 2 so players can upgrade existing components or create new ones to improve their sentinel. Players who are looking to unlock crafting can find themselves a bit stuck, however. There is a particular way crafting has to be unlocked in Everspace 2, and it can be a little tough to find.
How to Unlock Crafting in Everspace 2
Before heading out to search for the way to start crafting in Everspace 2, it’s important to find blueprints. To craft anything in the game, players will need to find at least one blueprint first. Without blueprints, there really isn’t any way for players to know what is necessary for the crafting item.
In order to unlock crafting in Everspace 2 itself, players will need to find a Trading Outpost. Luckily, there are quite a few of those scattered throughout the initial tutorial zones, so locating one shouldn't be too difficult. To find a Trading Outpost, players should be able to see it located on the game's HUD as they fly around space. Once at the Trading Outpost, players can purchase a Cargo Unit. Cargo Units are awesome because they upgrade the player's inventory. But, more importantly, purchasing a Cargo Unit will also unlock crafting.
For players who want to dive right into crafting, it’s crucial to ensure there is at least one empty space in the player's inventory before beginning. Highlight the empty space and hold the R key (or left on the D-pad). This will provide Everspace 2 players with a list of blueprints that are available. These are blueprints that the player has previously found. This will give players a chance to craft components or upgrades for their Sentinel ships. From there, it’s a matter of collecting materials to complete the crafting.
Additionally, players will be able to dismantle items. It’s the perfect way to remove old upgrades, create space, or get new crafting resources. If there are resources that seem to be tricky to locate, but players have extra upgrades or components to their ship, dismantling them may be the best (and easiest) way to find those difficult crafting materials.
Everspace 2 is now available on PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and PC.
