Crafting Energy Bricks in Abiotic Factor: A Comprehensive Guide

Unlock Power and Progress: Your Guide to Crafting Energy Bricks!

Forging Your Power Source: Acquiring the Idea and Components

Creating an Energy Brick in Abiotic Factor is a fundamental step for any survivor, despite the game's unusual setting where common batteries are scarce. If you've already established a functional Crafting Bench, you're well on your way. The Office Sector serves as a prime location for scavenging the necessary components. Navigate to Level 2 of this sector, then proceed right. Your path will lead you through the gymnasium and kitchen areas, eventually bringing you to the expansive Data Farm. This vast, cubicle-filled space is a treasure trove of electronic waste, providing all the elements required for your Energy Bricks. Equip yourself with a sturdy melee weapon, such as a desk leg, and begin dismantling the abundant PCs, monitors, and printers scattered throughout the area to collect the essential raw materials.

Essential Ingredients for Energy Bricks: A Detailed Breakdown

Crafting an Energy Brick requires specific parts, all of which can be found by disassembling office equipment. You will need one unit of Tech Scrap, one Power Supply Unit, one Circuit Board, and one Case Fan for each Energy Brick. Tech Scrap is readily available from breaking down PCs, monitors, and printers. Power Supply Units can be harvested from PCs and printers, while Circuit Boards and Case Fans are primarily sourced from PCs. Should you find yourself short on Circuit Boards, a common early-game challenge, remember that they can be fabricated by combining eight Tech Scraps once you have an Anvil and a Repair Bench, which will unlock the necessary crafting schematic. Producing multiple Energy Bricks at once is a highly recommended strategy, as they are versatile and integral to crafting items like Makeshift Batteries for base power and deployable traps for defense. Additionally, consider crafting the Vacuum tool to efficiently gather scattered PC parts, saving you from tedious manual collection.

Activating Level 3: Utilizing Your Energy Brick for Progress

Your initial Energy Brick should be reserved for a critical repair: reactivating the control console of a crucial door on Office Sector Level 2. If you haven't yet discovered this damaged console, head to the second floor and turn left after passing the swimming pool area. Continue past the reception desk, and you will find the malfunctioning panel at the hall's far end. Inserting an Energy Brick into this console will restore power and open the door, granting you access to the elevator that leads to Silo 3 on the third floor. With this pathway now clear, your next objective will be to construct the Keypad Hacker, another essential tool for continued exploration and advancement within Abiotic Factor's intricate world.
