3D Printer crafting
A 3D Printer is listed as a FOB crafting station. Verified recipes, material quantities and costs: TBA. No recipe is reconstructed from another game.
Missions and progression
The official description links missions and XP to new FOB functionality. Start with mission types, then use the mission database for individual source-backed requirements.
Prepare for a documented objective
Review the Hajin briefing, map and weapon records. The FOB hub summarizes current source coverage, and getting started covers access. These cross-links are a research path, not a confirmed upgrade order.
