How much to keep

Use the linked recipes to total the amount required for your immediate goal, then keep a separate reserve for repairs, quest hand-ins and station rebuilding. Vault Shard appears in 8 directly verified recipe entries in this batch; that is a useful minimum-use index, not a claim that no other live recipe consumes it.

Rare vault materials and processed components should be stored separately from common food and wood. This reduces accidental spending when the same station lists equipment, progression items and utility crafts together.

Acquisition and verification workflow

Pin the target recipe and note its exact Vault Shard requirement.
Gather or process the material through the appropriate region, enemy or refining station.
Return with one spare unit so the journal can register the component.
Open the current bench and compare the live count before committing rare inputs.

Early Access caveat

This page records confirmed uses rather than an invented drop rate or map coordinate. Patches can move a recipe between benches or rebalance quantities. If the journal shows a different number, preserve the build version and follow the live recipe; the source links below identify the evidence used for this index.

Continue with the recipe index, compare inputs in the resource hub, or verify the correct furniture in the crafting-station guide. Keep one spare ingredient in storage so the journal can rediscover a recipe after a major Early Access update.
