Need A CV : Reforged Eden 2 Beta (June 2024): #18 

A couple of things. 1. You are defiantly on the right track with regards to mining with the SV to get the last of the resources needed for the Makar. 2. You can toss the graphite directly into the factory so that it counts as carbon substrate. ( it counts as if it’s refined )

Did a fresh start to see how hard it would be to "make" a CV in the starter systems. It didn't take long to get a SV to jump around in the starter system. I used ArtemisRouges The Champ. (Very Cheap) Then started doing some wreck hunting, I usually do Beta system for my starts. With The Champ, and with an advanced radar that I added (a must have item), ran over cpu but not a big deal just repaired the generators every now and then. I managed to find 6 wrecks with CV parts around 2 different planet orbits. CV wrecks are common with the latest update it seems. I've found 30+ medium ion thrusters, 15+ small ion thrusters, 8 large RCS, 25+ large oxy tanks, 10+ large fuel tanks, 8 medical devices, 2 pentaxid tanks, 2 warp drives, 4 large constructors, 1 advanced constructor, 2 large improved generators, 5 large generators, all the steel blocks, doors and hatches you need and a lot of container extensions and tons of other stuff including crew. Threw together an air tight base in space that runs on solar from the 3 wrecked stations I found (plenty of solar panels and compositors around) and made my CV out of parts found and didn't really need to unlock them. Total of about 20 hours gaming over 7 days.

You can mod a weapon to have virtually instant reload, very handy.

Looks like you had a cast in your fridge for your broken bone. Bones are used to make casts to cure broken bones.

Don't you need to keep a bit of cash around for trading with Talon villages? Aren't there a couple of large constructors in wrecks you might potentially be able to use, or do their admin cores preclude that? IMO you really should do a full sort around all your assorted small constructors & vehicle storages (plus any base storages you've temporarily used): I reckon you already have at least half the remaining iron ingots required, plus a fair few steel plates scattered between assorted boxes.. plus perhaps a tool turret would allow an SV with harvest module & storage to cut as many trees as you need for the carbon substrate, which may be even quicker than mining graphite

Look at the cold protection of the spacesuit... negates the need for 2xInsulation boosters for EVA.
