IVS provides the blueprints; new plant and ore samples expand the database. Here is the order that works.
The craftable drone tool that unlocks base building — equip it and press B for the building menu, with planning mode holograms and automated construction. The "Building Minion" quest chain gates it; Hotfix #1 fixed a Blueprints-screen blocker inside that quest.
Cultivation structure with working sprinklers that "cultivates and automatically gathers plant products" (Hive Update #14); both versions share the feature. Cross-pollination experiments run here — leave a free slot for the hybrid to appear.
Kitchen appliance for smoothies, tea and energy drinks that "makes even toxic antus edible and tasty like a gourmet meal" (Dev Update #10). Light meds such as herbal tea are brewed here; the Multi Cooker is its redesigned bigger sibling.
Interior machine that "turns river water into crystal-clear hydration". It requires a Filter, and the Filter requires Silver — the classic first resource trip away from the landing site.
The launch-week build order; the quest marks a safe-zone site near water.
Place it at a shoreline or water deposit. Plants and people both run on it.
Open guide →Day-one power for the pump. Solar comes later — jungle canopy is bad for photovoltaics.
Open guide →The anchor interior: crafting, sleeping, storage. Consumes Bauxite — plan a mining run first.
Open guide →A room is not sealed until it has a door. EON-sealed interiors are where Immunity recovers.
Open guide →First interior machine; most later progress depends on its crafted components.
Open guide →The base-building quest provides a marked safe-zone location near water. Take it.
Utilities project a coverage area; a room only works inside overlapping water and power range.
Dense jungle canopy hurts solar output. Place panels where Sota7 actually sees sky.
Crafting pulls from storage only while you are inside the building — stock lockers before expanding.
