AETHUS Advanced Electronics: Crafting Recipes and Material Locations

Advanced Electronics in AETHUS craft at the Electronics Workbench using Basic Electronics, Microcircuits, and a Jaspite Bar. Housing your workbench inside a Manufacturing Habitat lowers component requirements across multiple recipes.

Crafting Requirements and Ingredients

Producing Advanced Electronics requires unlocking the Electronics Workbench blueprint, which Maeve discovers in the underground cavern system near the camp by the drill site. Once built and powered at your outpost, the bench crafts mid-tier electronic components and exploration tech.

The base recipe at an Electronics Workbench demands three separate parts:

• 3 Basic Electronics (crafted from 5 Silica and 1 Solazine each)
• 2 Microcircuits (crafted from 1 Gold Bar and 2 Dust Ruby Powder each)
• 1 Jaspite Bar (smelted from 10 Jaspite Ore at a Standard Smelter)

Smelting gold requires discovering where to find gold ore from nodes scattered across the Crater or Lost World, while processing Jaspite Ore requires reaching the deeper caverns near Facility Theta.

When your Electronics Workbench sits inside a specialized Manufacturing Habitat, the station applies a discount to component recipes. Inside the module, crafting Advanced Electronics costs 2 Basic Electronics, 1 Microcircuit, and 1 Jaspite Bar.

Items Requiring Advanced Electronics

Advanced Electronics unlock high-tier infrastructure, exploration tools, and deep-zone deployment gear. The component serves as a mandatory ingredient for several key items:

The component also feeds directly into crafting a high voltage converter, which powers critical machinery in deep facilities such as Facility Tau.

Ingredient Sourcing Decisions

Preparing the components for Advanced Electronics involves choosing between surface farming, automated deep drills, and specialized habitat processing.

Habitat Optimizations for Circuit Production

Advanced Electronics production chains put significant strain on raw ore supplies. Basic Electronics burn through Silica and Solazine, while Microcircuits constantly drain your gold bars and dust ruby stocks.

Setting up a Manufacturing Habitat reduces the strain on your supply chain. When crafting sub-components inside the module:

• Basic Electronics drop from 5 Silica to 3 Silica.
• Microcircuits drop from 2 Dust Ruby Powder to 1 Dust Ruby Powder.
• Power Cells drop from 2 Kalynite Frames to 1, and Solazine drops from 5 to 3.

Planning your modular outpost layout to incorporate specialized production rooms saves substantial mining time. For players looking to streamline base logistics, integrating this facility alongside an organized base layout ensures that automated drone deliveries feed directly into your processing lines without running out of component materials.
