Upgrade Protolathe and Circuit Imprinter

Print 10 Technology Disks and put one technology group on each disk, you will have enough to do from Mateirals to illegal and one disk left over.

Order a machine prototype crate from cargo as you upgrade the Ore Redemption Machine and drop off the technology disks.

While waiting, bug either the Captain for the Chain of Command, or break into the Clown office and welder their clown statue.

Build an exosuit fabricator while waiting for materials, preferrably just above the deconstructor.

chain of command (Combat: 5) or Banana Mortar (combat: 5), made in EXOSUIT Fabricator.

Sync Exosuit Fabricator

Run down to Xenobio, upgrade both Monkey Recycler and Slime Processor

Bluespace Crystal

IN EXOSUIT FABRICATOR

Insert 10 Silver sheets, 30 Metal, 30 Glass, 10 Plasma sheets.

Go back to Protolathe

X-ray Laser gun, Made in PROTOLATHE (Illegal: 1)

Ask for:
Mining: mining Jetpack if no machine prototype. Either of these is 100% required.
Captain: chain of command
Botany: glowshrooms, deathnettle if no combat 6, glowcaps, ambrosia gaia. Only Glowshrooms is really the only unique tech from botany, see xenobio.
Xenobio: charged slime core, sentience potion. Both of these can be replaced with botany for Glowcaps, Ambrosia Gaia Branch
Cargo: Machine Prototype. This is 100% required.

For upgrading make:
1 Bluespace Part Exchange Device
30 - 50 Femto Manipulators
30 - 50 Bluespace Matter Bins
10 - 20 Triphasic Scanning Modules
20 - 30 Quad Ultra Micro Laser
20 - 40 Quadractic Capacitors (If Available)
20 - 40 Super Capacitors (If Quadractic is not available)
20 - 30 Bluespace Power Cells (If Available)
20 - 30 Hyper Capacity Power Cells (If Bluespace Power Cells are not available)

For Priority Upgrades:
R&D
Robotics
Xenobiology
Science Chemistry
Ore Redemption Machine
Cargo Autolathe
Mechanics Pod Fabricator
Engineering Cyborg Recharger
Medbay Chemistry
Medbay Sleepers
Medbay cryogenics
Medbay cloning
Genetics
Brig Sleeper
Perma Garden
Arrivals Garden
Dorms Cyborg Recharger
Arcade Claw Machine
Bar
Kitchen
Botany

If Machine prototype was deconned, make 
1 Jaws of Life (For easier access to upgrade)

If you feel like being kind make another 10 Technology disks and take them down to Cargo for another 700 points after upgrading.

Im nearly done gearing up n smoking my 2nd or 3rd cig by 8 minutes. Maybe. I don't keep track really.

Just now, gangelwaefre said:

The mass-spectrometer was removed, IIRC- try replacing it with a reagent scanner.

Yup just found that in a comment in the code

Here's a list where the spacing indicates when you need to actually deconstruct to print the next set of items. I.E. you can print basic cap, manip, laser, and tracking beacon without deconstructing any of the former (this saves massive amounts of time). Also you don't need science goggles.

Also I think it would be helpful to note in this guide is that the sentience potion is interchangable with ambrosia gia, death nettle with chain of command, and glowhsrooms with yellow slime cores (since nothing in the game needs powerstorage 7). Also the wired network card is cheaper than AI purge.
