Reading unlock requirements

The Skills menu’s tier requirement is the level needed before you can unlock a blueprint. The highest unlock found in the reviewed game 0.8.5 data is Tier 27 (Bulk Petrol Tank); this does not establish a fixed level cap.

Some blueprints also need a quest: Recovery Grinder needs Ugly Work, the bulk containers need MOSES Field Reserve Program, and Salvage Gyro uses Lost Blueprints. TideRipper comes from the Still Listening quest rather than a numbered skill unlock. Check the item details and the quest guide. Stainless Steel never appears in the Skills menu: it is a Fabricator recipe for Project Eden, explained with a planner in how to make Stainless Steel.

For the complete unlock table and next available batch, use the Skill Tree Planner. Recipes and material locations are still being checked; the reviewed fields and sources are listed with each item.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does the unlock tier mean?

It is the player level you must reach before unlocking that blueprint in the Skills menu. It does not describe an item’s quality or its point cost. A dash means no verified skill unlock level is recorded.

Is a resource container tier the same as a skill level?

No. Resource-container tier describes the container class and appears in its details. Use “Unlocks at” to find its skill-level requirement.

Are every item’s recipe and material locations verified?

No. Most recipes and material locations are still being checked. Details that are not confirmed yet are marked “Not confirmed yet”. Missing data is left out rather than estimated.

How do you make Stainless Steel?

Make Stainless Steel in the Fabricator from 1 Iron, 10 L of Oil and 10 Wh each, with Oil piped into the Fabricator. It is not in the Skills menu. First Roots needs 58: 50 for the Eden Frame - Small and 8 for the first growing tile, so 58 Iron and 580 L of Oil.
