Components in Rimworld remain a staple when it comes to crafting. You need them to make firearms and armor, ship parts, repair electrical devices around the base and do countless other necessary tasks. However, Components are in short supply, and finding more may prove challenging.
Here’s how to get Components in RimWorld the easy way!
What is the Easiest Way to Get Components in RimWorld?
The easiest way to get Components in RimWorld is by farming. You can obtain a steady supply by:
- Mining compacted machinery
- Deconstructing ship chunks
- Purchasing from traders
- Crafting via the Fabrication Bench for 12 Steel
Where to Find Compacted Machinery
When trying to farm Components, the best source is via compacted machinery. These deposits are scattered about the map, usually tucked into the side of a mountain, and have a brownish color.
Players will assign a pawn to mine the deposit, like any other ore in the game, to efficiently obtain Components.
That said, these deposits do run out and do not respawn. Once the map’s supply is exhausted, finding more is tough without using other means, like trading or crafting.

Can You Craft Components in RimWorld?
Actually, yes! You can make your own RimWorld Components by constructing a Fabrication Bench. Alongside the required materials to build the crafting bench in question, you’ll also need a steady steel supply to keep crafting Components.
Furthermore, you’ll require the Fabrication research project and a smith with a crafting skill of 8 or greater to craft the bench.
Using the Fabrication Bench for Components is often a late-game technique. For the early- to mid-game in RimWorld, you’ll likely find yourself farming Components by the abovementioned means.
