What you get from it

• A late-game station for special upgrade attempts.
• A reason to retain spare Deep North equipment and materials.
• An optional path alongside the main Kall progression.

Tactics

• Treat the station as optional and keep your required progression gear separate.
• Do not rely on uncited success percentages; Iron Gate has not published them.
• Read the current interface because patches can change supported items.
• Back up a world before experimenting if losing materials would block progression.
