Scavenging Hangar Shelves for Machine Parts

Entering a newly discovered hangar provides immediate access to essential materials without needing to establish extensive manufacturing setups first. Every hangar contains organized storage holding machine components and workshop supplies.

Searching the Interior Shelves

Once inside the structure, navigate through the main hall and inspect the walls:

• Look along the interior framework for raised shelves lining the building.
• Chests generate directly on these shelves rather than hidden beneath flooring.
• Bring plenty of empty inventory slots, as an intact hangar can contain multiple chests holding both bulk raw materials and advanced components.

Sorting Scavenged Materials

Loot containers within hangars generally yield three distinct categories of useful items:

• Basic Crafting Supplies: Iron nuggets, slimeballs, string, and dried kelp for general crafting needs.
• Machine Hardware: Andesite alloy, copper sheets, springs, and redstone magnets used for mechanical assemblies.
• Rotational Components: Small and large cogwheels ready to be placed directly into your kinetic networks.

Gathering these parts allows you to skip several initial processing steps and assemble machinery immediately upon returning to base.
