Portable Mini-Fabricator

I’ve been thinking about whether a portable fabrication tool could be added to the game. It would be restricted to a handful of basic recipes — like water bottles, flares, or cooked fish — so players aren’t forced to swim back to their nearest base just to craft basic items.

I imagine this as a mid-game item constructed via the Habitat Builder. It would require a battery to run as well. Moreover, it could feature a hardpoint connector, allowing players to attach it directly to vehicles like the Tadpole so it can be hauled around during deep-dive expeditions.

It’s recipe would likely be almost the same as the one of oridnary fabricator, but with an addition of rubber and battery.

what if it was an equipment item? in solo play it could be deployed in a stationary spot, while in multiplayer a friend could wear it on their back, that way it wasnt tied to a single spot and theres less risk of losing it in a creature attack.
