When Installing Upgrades, Make Sure to Place Them All Next to One Another
It turns out that the where you place upgrades within your Exosuit, Multi-tool, and Starship matters. As you may already know, each upgrade corresponds to one of the major components of your gear. In the case of your Starship, upgrades can apply to your Shields, Photon Cannons, Thrusters, Pulse Drive, and Hyperdrive. Since you’re looking for a way to get to the center of the universe much more quickly, you’re going to want to pay special attention to those concerning your Hyperdrive.
Install your Hyperdrive in a location where you have plenty of free Inventory Slots around it. That way, when you find blueprints for upgrades you’ll be able to place them adjacent to the Hyperdrive, boosting their perks. Since the perks for all of the upgrades allow you to travel further in a single jump, you can extend that distance even more, shortening your trip.
