From finding hermetic seals to fix your ship to crafting objects like the salt refractor, much of the game’s challenge is in figuring out how to find or build specific components.
Can’t figure out where to get the salt refractor while exploring the furthest reaches of space? We’ve got you covered with a quick guide on exactly where to look!
Craft A Salt Refractor
Blueprints for salt refractors are typically found at manufacturing facilities. After finding the blueprint, you can craft your own salt refractor by using 50 chlorine.
To make that much chlorine, first craft a portable refiner and then place normal salt in the intake to refine the sale into chlorine (don’t forget you can also take advantage of the portable refiner bug for infinite resources).
Due to the randomized nature of planets, you may have to search around quite a bit to find that much salt. On many planets, salt is often found underwater instead of above ground and can be mined from minerals or collected from deposits.
Buy A Salt Refractor
When the random generation works against you and you either can’t find the refractor blueprint or the required salt to refine into chlorine, you may be able to skip all that hard work and just buy a refractor.
You are again at the mercy of the game’s randomized nature here, but salt refractors are often available to purchase at these locations:
Galactic trade terminals Docked space station ships Tech merchants at outposts
