How to Modify Armors

Use the Workbench to Attach Mods

When you have acquired or crafted the mod you want to attach, go to a Spacesuit Workbench and attach the mods to your chosen Spacesuit. This is the part where you spend your resources, so be sure to have enough!

Install One Mod for Every Slot

Your Spacesuit, Helmet, Pack, and Boost Pack have several slots available, but you can only attach one at a time. Make sure you augment your defenses depending on what you plan on tackling ahead!
