[Suggestion] Reduce Material Processor cost

34 votes

The material processor costing 80 electronics is not balanced as it is needed to make composites and the tech alone to craft composites takes about 200 electronics (200 refined gold, 600 copper) This should be balanced to some of the other benches around 30-40 electronics MAX

Material Processor should be about 8 Electronics, you will need your Gold and Copper elsewhere.

100% agree. I've cleared every mine I could find in both arctic zones and all of the forest zone for the Deep Vein: Extraction and there STILL isn't enough material. The cost requirements are unrealistic unless you happen to get lucky with a ridiculous amount of gold and copper spawns.

The electronics cost of the materials processor is utterly crushing for a solo player.

This is an insane cost, since all equipment and items requiring composites are locked behind this bench, which is already locked behind the fabricator.

The gold and copper costs to make this are going to require us to mine the entire map.

I'm not going to be able to convince my group to keep playing the game if every mission that requires radar and an extractor will take this much time to complete.
