Unlock the Repair Tool with two scans

Quick answer

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

Build and use it

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

The Titanium Ingot quantity is disputed: PC Gamer’s dedicated Repair Tool guide lists 1, while its Sulfur guide lists 2. Check the recipe in your build before gathering an exact batch. Both sources agree on the other quantities listed here.

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 There is no need to force a third scan to satisfy an outdated article.
