Entangled Power Cell: the deeper scan and crafting recipe

Quick answer

The Entangled Power Cell replaces a standard vehicle cell. GameWith and Nerd’s Chalk agree on the route: from the Alien Ruins head east and drop below the main alien structures into a lit pocket. GameWith puts it about 305 m deep, so take Mk. 1 before bringing a Tadpole there.

Find the lit platform

Approach from the Alien Ruins, head east and descend below the main alien structures. Look for light beneath them; GameWith places the elevated platform northeast of the Karakorum Power Plant at about 305 m. Nerd’s Chalk reports two fragments in the same small area, while GameWith describes one. Keep scanning until the blueprint shows as unlocked. Return before your reserve is low.

  1. Approach the Power Plant from the Alien Ruins and descend below the main alien structures.
  2. Look northeast for light beneath the structures and the elevated platform around 305 m.
  3. Scan the Entangled Power Cell fragment and confirm the blueprint unlock. Return before your reserve is low.

    On screen: At 306 m on a railed platform lit by a standing lamp, the diver passes an opened crate, scans a yellow cylinder inside a box marked Scan Entangled Power Cell, and an ENTANGLED POWER CELL UNLOCKED notice appears at the left.

Craft at the Fabricator

Both guides list the same Fabricator recipe. Keep the farm’s seed Troilite separate. Vehicle upgrades and the Power Plant repair compete for late-game materials; decide which trip you need to support before spending that stock.

Install and recharge

Replace the existing cell through the Tadpole’s top socket. The reported recharge options are the Power Cell Terminal and a powered Tadpole Dock. Verify charge increases before departure; this guide does not promise a fixed charge time or travel distance.
