Science Outpost

The Science Outpost is the main quest hub in Frackin' Universe, and can be accessed at any time from your Ship Computer after reading the "Come Visit Us!" pamphlet found in your inventory at the start of the game. Most--if not all--of the Frackin' Universe lab equipment can be found at the Science Outpost; this makes it ideal for beginning FU players who may not have a home base or personal laboratory of their own.

Areas

The Science Outpost has several areas, each containing lab equipment related to the "theme" of the area:

• General Assembly (first and second floors immediately upon entering the building; you can find an Extraction Lab, Matter Assembler, Fission Furnace, Nano-Fabricator, Armory, and other equipment related to ore smelting and material creation here)
