Circuit board
Silicon, copper traces and a gold contact on a plastic board in epoxy: every chip, console and space part needs them.
In the game
How to get it
At the grid: plastic in the top corners with epoxy between, copper wire on each side of a silicon in the middle row, a gold ingot at the bottom: 2 circuit boards.
What it is for
Microcontrollers (1 to 32 boards), register banks, the clean room, the rocket engine (2), cockpit (4), deployer, fueling tower, space suit, jetpack, docks, gravity generator (4), hyperbaric press (2), pilot's console.
Why it exists
The board is where the oil chain (plastic), the furnace (silicon, gold) and the farm (epoxy) meet: the key to space.
The same text the game shows in its progress tree and on the item's sheet (I).
How to get it
At the grid: 2 plastic (top corners), epoxy (top middle), 4 copper wires (2 on each side) round a silicon (centre), a gold ingot (bottom middle): 2 boards.
- Plastic: the Refinery.
- Silicon: sand and 8 coal in the Furnace.
- Epoxy: a binder and a hardener from creatures.
