GUNC Stars Reach Field Guide
Stars Reach: Materials & PQRV
Materials carry PQRV values. The recipe decides what those values change on the finished item.
A resource with the same name can have different values on different planets. PQRV stands for Potential, Quality, Resilience, and Versatility. The recipe decides what each value changes.
What PQRV means
Compare materials for one property
Open its recipe and choose the property you want to improve.
Use the letter shown beside that property on this recipe. Another item may use the same letter differently.
Compare that letter on each gathered material and on any component you must craft first.
Replace the ingredient most likely to improve the result, make one item, and check the finished PQRV before using the rest of the stack.
When the recipe needs a crafted component
A crafted component brings its displayed PQRV into the next recipe.
Use its finished PQRV beside the other ingredients, not the raw materials that were used to make it.
If the component does not help the property you want, make a better one before finishing the tool or weapon.
Ordinary materials are useful for learning how an unfamiliar component chain behaves.
