“Very basic drives can be found in dungeons in the overworld. Not regular dungeons, I mean military outposts with very angry and very armed guards that keep spawning. The ability to make drives is unlocked at EV, instead of nested crafting to make the highest tier of drive you just use higher tier circuits, the idea being the drives are just data storage. The fancy parts of the network are the input/output systems, that is what turns matter into energy and vice versa, so that requires fancy tech. We explain it by having the solar system full of debris in space that the player can collect using automated rockets. Using that debris and the salvage it is possible to construct the input and output components for the network. The ability to make those components from scratch is unlocked later on (UV or UHV)” - Zalgo
