In order to print (or construct) goods in The Cycle: Frontier, you will need to spend a significant amount of time gathering materials. As the game begins, you may not feel the need to print weapons and armor, but as you go through the game, having the ability to print certain pieces of equipment will provide your character with a significant advantage.
In addition to that, there are some high-level things that can only be printed. In The Cycle: Frontier, there is no other way to get them save being familiar with the concepts behind the various crafting processes.
You will, of course, need a printing recipe first in order to determine which resources are necessary for it. After ensuring that everything is in order, go directly to the Gear Printer located in the Prospect Station to begin the printing process. Take into consideration that printing takes some time. For instance, printing armor requires the maximum amount of time. Consumables, on the other hand, are the items whose printing requires the fewest amounts of time.
It is strongly suggested that you print uncommon bags and armor as soon as it is able to do so. When you are farming in risky locations, they will assist you in stacking additional printing materials for you.
The following guide will provide a listing of all of the primary printing recipes you will need to be familiar with in order to progress through The Cycle: Frontier.
