  • Using a vehicle to cover the 1,300 m approach will save time; exit near the tower and continue on foot or by swimming into the ruin.

  • Once inside, scanning the first Modification Station you find will grant the blueprint—no need to search multiple wrecks.

After scanning the Modification Station blueprint in the abandoned base near the tower, you will be able to craft and use the Modification Station to upgrade tools and equipment as intended by the game’s progression mechanics. Head back to your base or vehicle to place and use the newly available station.
