Fragments

Fragments are broken pieces of advanced technology that can be analyzed by the Scanner to create Blueprints. They are found inside Wrecks, and strewn across certain Biomes around the Aurora. Depending on the technology being analyzed, a different number of Fragments might be needed to form the blueprint. Scanning a Fragment that already has a complete blueprint will convert the Fragment into Titanium.

In order to attain certain blueprints, like the one for the Floodlight, the player has to scan the object in question, rather than a Fragment safe. Some of the objects, however, may be in a very bad condition or rusty, which makes them harder to recognize as Fragments. Almost all Fragments appear as safes, notable exceptions to this are Seamoth, Cyclops, Seaglide, Propulsion Cannon, and Stasis Rifle Fragments, which have actual models instead.

Future Plans

 * All Fragments will have real models, and will appear to be destroyed.

Trivia

 * In the past, Fragments could be picked up and had to be researched using the Fragment Analyzer. This system was scrapped with the introduction of the Scanner.
