Location

  • System: Wyrd
  • Facility: Black Hide

How to Discover This Engineer

Professor Palin is reported as the referral source for The Dweller Community-reported.[2][1]

How to Receive an Invitation

Sell exploration or other data at 5 black markets Community-reported.[2]

How to Unlock This Engineer

  1. Meet the invitation requirement: sell exploration or other data at 5 black markets Community-reported.
  2. Travel to Black Hide in Wyrd.
  3. Pay 500,000 CR directly at the Engineer's terminal, rather than deliver a physical commodity.
  4. Confirm access at the Engineer's terminal.

Engineer Unlock Chain

The Dweller's own prerequisite Engineer is Unverified. He is reported as the referral source for both Lei Cheung and Marsha Hicks (the latter in Colonia) Community-reported.[2]

Available Engineering

Blueprint data pending verification. The Dweller's general specialty (Power Distributor) is established, but individual blueprint names and maximum grades have not yet passed EDFM verification — see Elite Dangerous Field Manual:Engineering Architecture for the site's policy on not inventing unconfirmed specifics. This table will be restored once blueprint-level data is confirmed.[2]

Experimental Effects

To be added — not confirmed in the sources checked for this pass.

Increasing Engineer Reputation

Engineering modifications performed at this workshop increase Engineer reputation through the standard Engineering reputation system. See Engineering#Engineer Reputation for details.

Blueprint Pinning

Fact
The Dweller's confirmed specialty is Power Distributor.
Field Manual Recommendation
Not yet made — a pinning recommendation needs the maximum-grade and full blueprint data filled in first. See Elite Dangerous Field Manual:Engineering Architecture for why EDFM treats pinning guidance as editorial judgement, not a database fact.
