Despite that, it is an easy-to-use machine with potential importance.
Here are some useful tips to keep your car refueled in the game.
The transmuter could be your saving grace or just something you pass by without much care.
Like many things in rogue-like games, chance plays a big part in the machine’s usefulness.
So, with that in mind, here’s what to do when you find a transmuter.
Instead, luck will have to be on your side for you to find one while out exploring.
Thankfully, they can be quite common.
Not all trailers will spawn with one, however.
As an alternative option,they also spawn at ARDA Towers.
They willalways spawn at a tower, but temporary labs are more abundant.
What Does A Transmuter Do?
A transmuter in Pacific Drive is very similar to other games with this throw in of machine.
You put materials in, and another key in of material comes out.
This sounds very useful, and it is.
However, the caveat is thatwhat you’re able to transmute is based on the machine you find.
Each transmuter will take and give different materials.
To see what materials the transmuter needs, check the display screen.
At the top, it will show two icons.
Theleft side shows what materials you put in, and theright side shows what you’ll receive.
In the screenshot above, it took five bulbs to receive one chemical.
However, there isno way to tell how much of one item you’ll need to receive another.
The best way to find out is through trial and error.
Not every transmuter will need five of an item, it might take more or less.
it’s possible for you to also interact with the machine, and it will open your inventory.
It will tell you in plain words what materials you need in the top right.
A transmuter can be extremely helpful on a case-by-case basis.
Moments like that are rare, though.
You’ll need to have the items the transmuter needs with you or find them while exploring.
So, while useful, transmuters are quite limited.
