Engineers: Difference between revisions

[[Materials]] are required by the Engineers to [[:Category:Engineer Upgrades|upgrade]] modules on the player's ship. Each blueprint specifies which materials are needed, and how to get them; material sources include (but are not limited to) destroyed ships, mission rewards, ship/wake scans, signal sources, mining, planetary surface resources, and more. Different Engineers require different materials, meaning not all materials gathered can be used by the same Engineer. Up to one blueprint can be pinned per Engineer for usage at [[Remote Workshop|Remote Workshops]]; pinned modifications can be crafted at any station equipped with a [[Remote Workshop]], but a modification crafted remotely will not contribute to reputation with its Engineer.

Both '''upgrading''' and adding '''mods''' requires new types of 'materials' (added in [[Elite Dangerous: Odyssey|Odyssey expansion]]), as well as credits.<br>

The materials come from 3 different categories: [[Assets]], [[Data]], and [[Goods]]. Not all items in those categories though are engineering materials.

 

Unlike ship mods, equipment mods are only available in a single quality grade, and require only a single transaction with the Engineer to fully apply it.  

Once a mod is installed on a particular Suit or Handheld Weapon, it cannot be removed or replaced by another mod.
