Rare components for some non-essential blocks

For the purpose of story telling and reasons to go and visit places, hunting for component parts that are not available through the normal production chain offers gameplay. To keep this feature compliant with player tolerances these rare parts would be non-essential for survival and flight, but could be used in the construction of some decorative blocks or to enhance performance of other blocks.

For example, a coffee machine may require a filter or a dispenser component. The part would be available at Kemik station.

Another would be a printed fabric component to stylise your bed or seating. This would be available from a textile factory on Verdure.

The build state of many blocks require additional components beyond the functional state. Here would be the place where a rare component could be added to boost stats.

Rare unmanufacturable parts would create the necessity for venturing out and encountering the Almagest system without impinging on existing gameplay and offering more. This will allow variation in contracts and will require information on the availability of parts through various communicable systems, be this through NPC, datapad, terminal or radio comms.
