You'll need to craft a Keypad Hacker to bypass more sophisticated locks in Abiotic Factor. This is one of the survival-crafting game's first big walls to bypass, as it places a GATE security keypad between you and its second zone. The materials aren't hard to come by, but the early game to-do list is a bit daunting.
In my first run, I wasted quite a bit of time looking in all the wrong places, but hopefully my lessons learned from fighting Security Bots spare you the same mistakes. To make things as simple as possible, I'll explain how to get the hacker idea first. If you're already there, just scroll down for a handy checklist of items you'll need to make the Keypad Hacker in Abiotic Factor.
