A part required for Alternate Recipe research!
The world of Satisfactory is full of crash sites holding lucrative loot that players can scavenge for crafting, research, and other purposes. One of the most important reasons for finding these crash sites is that each holds a Satisfactory Hard Drive that players can use at MAM to learn new Alternate Recipes.
But since the game’s world is full of danger and many things that could distract you, randomly encountering these Hard Drives can be challenging.
