Unlock the Repair Tool with two scans

Current scan count, fragment choices and repair ingredients.

Early Access 1.2 · Buddy System Hotfix 1, September 3 amendment · Updated 2026-09-12

The short answer

The Repair Tool now unlocks after two scans. Older launch guides still say three; Buddy System explicitly changed that requirement.

Before you start

  • Scanner and full Fabricator access.
  • Locations below come from the launch walkthrough; the scan count comes from the newer official patch.

Choose two reachable fragments

Southern shipwreckSofa on the lower level, about 300 m south across the deep gap; enter from the south.

Build and use it

At a full Fabricator, combine 1 Titanium Ingot, 1 Wiring Kit, 1 Basic Battery and 1 Sulfur. The tool repairs damaged vehicles and bases and can open certain damaged doors.

Kingy preparation note: choose the two fragments your current oxygen and route can support. There is no need to force a third scan to satisfy an outdated article.
