Stranded Inventions

You know how to make the most of your available resources, which comes in handy while exploring lower-tech worlds. In place of UPBs, you can use an equivalent value of raw materials on worlds with medium or low technology (page 124–125) to craft technological items, but when you do so, you can craft items only of that world’s technology level or lower.
Alternatively, you can craft a technological item whose item level doesn’t exceed your number of Engineering ranks – 2, regardless of the world’s technology or resources (subject to GM discretion). Armor or weapons you make using this trick gain the archaic property, technological items or weapons that use batteries can be used only once per day, and tool kits that provide bonuses to skill checks halve the granted bonus.
