You start with “scour through scrap” ability at skill 1, but “Pilfer through Parts” which gives the scrap is a sklil 5 ability. Should these be inverted?
I think we are meant to be given 5 parts, but that doesn’t happen. The vendor occasionally has some, but again those seem to be on a timer.
You have to do the artisan’s acuity quest first (somewhat hidden in a building if you don’t know about it) and hope you pick the engineering bag, or you get put in a weird position.
