How do I make a spark generator?

General

I’ve got objectives telling me to make a spark generator, and I can see spark generators exist in the world in peoples’ beacons, but I have no spark generator recipe in any of my recipes lists and no spark generator appears in my knowledge base in game. How do I craft one with no recipe?

Amy I missing something obvious? Do I need a specific crafting skill or something? How do I make a spark generator?

Thanks!

I’m not exactly sure as I have all the crafting skills but try the machine crafting 2 skill.

Yes. It would be under machine or tech crafting, Max lvl 2. It’s an early-mid game machine

Yep that was it - I trained the skill “machine crafting” (1/3) in the crafting section of the skills tree and the spark generator appeared in my recipes and resources knowledge.

I’m guessing the devs meant to include some tip along those lines in the objectives text but things have been changing too fast in alpha/beta/release for the objective text to keep up. I think it’s meant to work as sort of a mixed tutorial/leveling up tree, teaching you how the game works as you level up, but the way it is now, I haven’t been introduced to the concept that training in those crafting skills will unlock new recipes, and the objective text presented seems to presume the spark generator will just be in my recipes like everything else in the objectives has been up until this point.

Devs, if that was your intent, please add objective text about needing to train in skills to get the spark generator/other recipes where appropriate.

Would be great if the crafting skill tool tip also explained that these skills will unlock new recipes. Right now it’s unclear from the text what if any benefit they provide (“increases your machine crafting level by 1”).

Anyway, thanks Anichka and Smooth-Slick!
