Guide to Unlocking Engineers Quickly: CMDRs ToolBox (2023)

Author:fuchs(uploaded with permission from Fox)

Introduction

Hello gentlemen and ladies of the cosmos! Welcome to my guide to unlocking the most useful engineers from scratch as quickly and easily as possible! This guide won't introduce all of the Engineers, as some are less needed or have requirements that go beyond the flow of this guide to unlocking and therefore don't particularly fit into the flow of this walkthrough guide. Keep in mind that some engineers are hard to unlock no matter what you do, but their grind can make your life easier relative to other grinds. This guide uses that overlay to give you a clear path on how to unlock each engineer with minimal effort. Click to see a diagram of all engineersHere!

This guide can always be improved. If you have any suggestions on how to improve it, feel free to post them in a comment below. (To edit:Reddit)

• Idleness.

• Significant amounts of technical materials. These can be easily farmed at Dav's Hope (Hyades sector DR-V C2-23, Planet A 5, coordinates 44.818, -31.389) and Crashed Anaconda (Orrere, Planet 2 B, coordinates 43.8122, -173.9722).
