Getting Started with Alien Technology

Finding and Using Your First Alien Tools

Begin by exploring crashed objects in cold biomes to collect Extraterrestrial Steel and Energy Crystals. Use the Crystal Former to grow crystals—they develop faster in colder regions. Once you have materials, craft alien tools that fall between iron and diamond in effectiveness.

Your new weapons deal extra damage to techno-flesh monsters and apply Cosmic Irradiation, weakening enemies over time. The alien hammer breaks down industrial blocks into damaged versions, while the industrial wrench toggles machines on and off. Power your tools using batteries stored in a portable charger kept in your inventory—it automatically supplies energy every second. Balance resource gathering with defense against the alien threat.
