Dredge: How To Obtain Research Parts | Tips & Tricks

gameranx.com:

Dredge is a game with all manner of interlocking mechanics that makes a rather enticing whole. The game has more than its fair share of unlockables and start-boosting systems, and Research Parts are one of the trickier ones to get to grips with. This is because, for the most part, the game doesn’t tell you how to get them.

Sure, you start with one early on, but getting more is not obvious, and the rewards for obtaining them are enticing to say the least. Powerful new rods and engines await you, allowing you to upgrade your low-quality fishing boat into a master of the tides. So, how do you get Research Parts, and what should you unlock first?

Pursuits are Dredge’s form of quests. These will often reward you with Research Parts (among other things), so tracking them down and completing them is a great way to ‘level up’ your fishing game. Pursuits will quickly dry up around Great Marrow, so be sure to explore other areas in the game if you are struggling to find work.

Pursuits are the most effective way to get Research Parts, but they are not the only way, 

You will bump into this Merchant from time to time, and they are willing to give you Research Parts – for a price. The price is, in our opinion, rather extortionate. They come in at $300 per Research Part, and early on, this is not money you will have on
