Where do I get engineering components?
Pretty simple question here: I need engineering components and can't figure out where I get them.
Without taking the engineering spec - I downloaded this to salvage, not build my own - the only way I can see to get out of the starter orbit is to build a junk SV warp drive. There are no CVs on the planet or in orbit, so a CV isn't an option. That leaves an SV, and unless I find a warp drive, I'll need to make one. And the only option is the junk warp drive in the salvaging tree. Which takes engineering components. I haven't picked any up from loot or salvaging, and neither do I see them in any traders. So... where are they? I'm stuck on the starting planet until I can get some.

You get them randomly from salvaging tech, pretty much. More the better your salvage tool is ofc.
If you have "Engineering Scrap" they convert to "Engineering Components" at a 2:1 ratio when u start crafting(Can't convert manually).
So if u need say 20 components you can craft with 10 components and 20 scrap for example.

Also note that the components spoil into scrap if they're not kept in a fridge.

Awesome, thanks! I figured it was something to do with scrap, but the lack of a manual conversion was keeping me in the dark as to what I needed.
