ALPHA 4.7.1 — ITEM FABRICATOR SYSTEM

CRAFTING MATERIALS

Star Citizen 4.7 introduced item fabrication — players can now craft custom FPS gear using raw materials. Quality of your cargo directly affects the output stats. Here is what haulers need to know.

HOW THE 4.7 CRAFTING LOOP WORKS

NEW IN 4.7

HAULERS SUPPLY MATERIALS

Buy raw crafting materials from Stanton terminals and haul to Nyx system Item Fabricators at Levski or Keeger Belt stations.

→

QUALITY DETERMINES OUTPUT

The quality of your cargo (500–1000 scale) directly affects the stats of crafted items. Higher quality materials = better gear.

→

CRAFTERS PAY PREMIUM

Players with Item Fabricator access pay above-market for high-quality materials. The Nyx market is less saturated than Stanton.

→

RETURN WITH CRAFTED GEAR

Pick up crafted armor sets or components from Nyx crafters. Resell in Stanton for additional margin.

WHY HULL-B IS THE 4.7.1 META HAULER

512 SCU capacity, extendable spine for bulk loads, planet landing when fully loaded, and a large Q-tank for Stanton → Nyx routes. It was released the same patch as the crafting materials demand surge. Not a coincidence.

CRAFTING MATERIALS BREAKDOWN

Primary Crafting Mat

Celeron

18,000 aUEC/SCU baseline

CRITICAL

SOURCEPyro / Nyx system

USED FORASD armor sets — the most valuable craftable gear in 4.7

HAULER TIPBottleneck material. If you can source Celeron, crafters will pay premium. Often out of stock.

⭐Quality 500+ is the minimum viable threshold for crafting. Higher quality = better item stats.

Electronic Components

Agricium

25,000 aUEC/SCU baseline

HIGH

SOURCEARC-L1, MIC-L1

USED FORElectronic armor components, precision parts, energy weapons

HAULER TIPHigh baseline value PLUS crafting premium. One of the best commodities post-4.7.

⭐Any quality tier works for basic components. 700+ quality unlocks top-tier outputs.

Structural Components

Titanium

8,200 aUEC/SCU baseline

HIGH

SOURCEHUR-L1, ARC-L1, most refineries

USED FORShip components, structural armor, building materials at Nyx stations

HAULER TIPHigh volume, steady demand. Hull-B full load (512 SCU) = ~4.2M aUEC before crafting premium.

⭐Low quality acceptable for most structural recipes. Widely available.

Optics & Precision

Diamond

7,000 aUEC/SCU baseline

MODERATE

SOURCEVarious mining locations

USED FORScope optics, sensor components, precision crafting blueprints

HAULER TIPConsistent demand, not always front-of-mind but reliable secondary haul.

⭐Optics blueprints require high quality. Source 700+ for best margins.

New 4.7 Material

Hephaestanite

9,500 aUEC/SCU baseline

GROWING

SOURCEARC-L1, MIC-L1

USED FORNew in 4.7 — structural and mechanical fabrication blueprints

HAULER TIPNewer material, less competition for buyers. Watch community price reports for spikes.

⭐New blueprint pool not fully explored yet. Stack quality for best results.

Budget Components

Corundum

2,600 aUEC/SCU baseline

LOW

SOURCEMost mining outposts

USED FORBasic component crafting, filler in multi-material blueprints

HAULER TIPCheapest crafting mat, but huge volume potential with Hull-B. Filler on return trips.

⭐Quality matters less here. Quantity play.

NYX SYSTEM QUICK GUIDE

OUTLAW SYSTEM

LEVSKI STATION

Main Nyx hub. Trade terminals + Item Fabricators. Safe dock but watch for gankers on approach. Crafters congregate here.

KEEGER BELT STATIONS

110+ breaker stations for team missions. Hauler role = supply crafting materials, extract finished goods. PvP open zone — bring escorts or fly fast.

NEW MONDE LOOP

Nyx outpost connected to the ASD armor crafting route. Fast loot + crafting materials combo. Best for quick in-and-out runs.

⚠️ NO UEE PROTECTION

Nyx has zero UEE security. Fly with org escort, use stealth components on your Hull-B, or accept the risk premium. The profit is there for a reason.
