In place of UPBs, you can use an equivalent value of raw materials on worlds with medium or low technology to craft technological items, but when you do so, you can craft items only of that world’s technology level or lower. Alternatively, you can craft a technological item whose item level doesn’t exceed your number of Engineering ranks – 2, regardless of the world’s technology or resources (subject to GM discretion).
