How it works
When you upgrade an item, 20% chance the material is not used up. Only for players who upgrade a lot.
Rating
A 20% roll can preserve material used by supported item upgrades. It is not a 20% discount on all crafting, gun repairs or network purchases; value depends on repeatedly using an affected upgrade action.

Perks that work well with it
- Makeshift Reactor
Reactor upgrades use the 20% material-preservation roll. Repair inputs are consumed by different methods, so reserve repair supplies separately.
- Vending Machine
Repeated capacity or attractiveness upgrades use the same material-preserving path; stocking and powering the machine remain separate work.
