Pro guide:

  • Firstly, your main goal must be Weapon Table , which will give you the opportunity to craft better weapons. You can also try craft second MG Turret mk1, it should help for a while. You will be able to disassemble this turret and get the machine gun back.
  • When Weapon Table is done, next goal is turrets from it, at least MG Turret mk2 and then special ones - HE and AP Turrets , but it needs specific items, which can be obtained only from traider.
  • Somewhere here you can try to craft upgrades from the Upgrades Table or craft Advanced Weapon Table and MG Turret mk3 from it. During this, you can craft a Milling Machine to create weapon and mechanical parts.
