3D Printer and resource planning

The 3D Printer creates equipment and supports FOB upgrades. Recipes unlock through progression or by extracting them from Hajin. Printer access is inconsistently published: level 2 in the FOB text and level 1 in progression artwork.

Check the current station before planning an unlock. A WDguide recipe record does not establish that your account can already print it.

Synthetics, Electronics, Chemicals and Metals are basic Resources collected into separate totals. Other Printer Ingredients remain intact and need to be brought home for later use.

A recipe can require both groups. A large Resource total does not replace a missing intact Ingredient, and similar-looking ingredient names are not interchangeable.

The Printer provides ingredient information and search hints. Treat them as leads for the type of place to inspect, rather than fixed spawn guarantees.

Pin materials that matter to the project. Compare the route in our Interactive Map, while confirming current activities, threats and container availability in the game.

Select a recipe, set the number of copies and enter owned materials in the Workbench. Recorded requirements are multiplied by copy count, then holdings are subtracted to show the remaining amount.

The starter table supplies 25 Synthetics plus 25 Metals for a Small Backpack or 1-Plate Vest; 50 Synthetics plus 5 Rigid Synthetics for a Medium Backpack; and 50 Synthetics plus 5 Reactive Metals for a 2-Plate Vest. Other incomplete recipes still retain unknown quantities. The planner does not read your inventory or infer unlisted cash fees.

Printing supplies consumables, armor, backpacks and other equipment, as well as FOB improvements. Send finished equipment to storage or equip it through the game’s Printer controls.

Compare immediate survival needs with longer-term spending. An upgrade that consumes your last useful ingredients can make the next loadout difficult to replace.
