How to plan the Utility Station upgrade
Work level by level: the first upgrade only needs common parts, the last needs ARC pieces and rarer salvage. Mark every item on this page as "keep" in your head, stop recycling anything on the list, and buy the cheap materials from traders instead of farming them. ARC parts and rare salvage are the usual bottleneck, so spend your raids on those and let traders cover the rest.
