Craft an Atmospheric Water Collector

Build the named collector after its terraforming unlock using the documented ingredient list.

WHERE & HOW TO FARM

Where to farm

Multitool build mode at a base; the recipe unlocks at 30 kTi.

This guide covers crafting and placing the Atmospheric Water Collector. Its build recipe unlocks at 30 kTi and uses six materials, including Super Alloy. Gather the ingredients, craft the alloy at an Advanced Craft Station, then use multitool build mode. The documented recipe does not specify water output or how to collect it, so check the in-game building interface for operation details.

GET STARTED

How to farm

Before you go

  • Reach the 30 kTi unlock.
  • Have a multitool and access to build mode.
  • Gather Iron, Silicon, Magnesium, Cobalt, Aluminum, and Super Alloy.
  • Use an Advanced Craft Station to make Super Alloy from Iron, Cobalt, Magnesium, Silicon, Titanium, and Aluminum.
  1. Check the build interface after reaching 30 kTi to confirm the collector recipe is available.
  2. Gather the Iron, Silicon, Magnesium, Cobalt, and Aluminum needed directly for the collector.
  3. At an Advanced Craft Station, combine Iron, Cobalt, Magnesium, Silicon, Titanium, and Aluminum to craft one Super Alloy.
  4. Keep the collector’s Super Alloy separate from any alloy needed for other builds.
  5. Open multitool build mode and select Atmospheric Water Collector.
  6. Place the structure at your base and verify that the build completed.

Farming tips

  • The collector recipe requires both Aluminum and Super Alloy, so count the direct Aluminum and alloy ingredients separately.
  • Use the in-game interface to learn the collector’s operating behavior; the crafting list alone does not establish output mechanics.

Repeat, collect and use

The recipe is repeatable for each additional collector, provided you gather another full ingredient set and have the unlock.

Common mistakes

  • Counting the Aluminum in Super Alloy as the collector’s direct Aluminum: reserve a separate unit for each recipe requirement.
  • Trying to craft Super Alloy at the wrong station: use an Advanced Craft Station.
  • Assuming the recipe proves water production or collection details: inspect the placed building in-game.

When to stop or switch

Stop when the collector is built and confirmed in place; craft additional units only if your base plan calls for them and materials permit.
