Before you start
Backpack Upgrade II: use the Goblin Tinkerer
Since 0.7.2, repair the Compressor and craft Backpack Upgrade II at the Goblin Tinkerer’s Workbench. Its announced recipe is 150 Scraps, 10 Spider Silk and 1 Voidtaken Grizzly Hide, without 100 restored Memories. This change concerns Upgrade II; it does not replace the main Tier 2 station directory above.

Separate the two kinds of upgrade
The main Workbench opens specialist benches such as the Arcanist’s. Existing stations can have independent upgrade tracks. Read both the recipe’s station and that station’s current tier before gathering more materials.
Kingy example: owning enough Thorium does not prove a missing recipe should appear. First check the correct station, then its tier, then any recorded-Memory requirement. This keeps a resource trip from solving the wrong problem.
