Thread: It says I need Ovevpi?
You have to be by a crafting station to make a schematic. I think it might need to be a private crafting station.

Another tip: if you have access to recyclers, then use recycled resources for those components where quality doesn't matter, like Wall Modules, Small Structure Storage Modules and Structure Storage Modules. That way you can simply make more of a resource you need when you need it, albeit of low quality because recycled resources always have attribute valuesof 200. For example, I make my Structure Storage Module manufacturing schematics with recycled steel because:
- You can't experiment on them, so they don't affect the experimentation of anything in which they are used, such as harvesters.
- Because they are shipwright resources, Hardened Arveshium Steel and Crystallized Bicorbantium Steel are always spawning on exactly one planet in high concentrations, so steelcan always be found somewhere in high concentrations to feed into the recyclers.
- Any recycled steel becomes Smelted Steel, usable in any manufacturing schematic that calls for Smelted Steel, no matter what that steel was originally.
Even if you can't use a recycled resource in every slot of a manufacturing schematic, using them in as many slots as possible can reduce the number of differentresources you need to store.For example, on those ubiquitous Generator Turbines, you can use Smelted (recycled) Copper,Aluminum and Steel, and you can use a recycled chemical, but you can't use a recycled gas (there are no gas recyclers, so far as I've been able to determine) or a recycled Carbonate Ore. (You can recycle Carbonate Ore, butit becomes a generic Sedimentary Ore unusable for Generator Turbines, even though Siliclastic Ore, another Sedimentary Ore, becomes a generic Siliclastic Ore when it is recycled and not a generic Sedimentary Ore. Anyone know why this is? I say "bug".)
