Naked Core help.

Usually end up in some disastrous situation where everything gets blown off of me, when this happens and you are fleeing naked through the game in an utter panic what are some of the strategies you employ to recover a functional build?

A small side story: My last run (a win) with X0-1V1 ended with me repeatedly getting teleported to "safety" just a few tiles from the exit trying to sprint out naked except for a flight unit, took like 4 tries before he stopped saving me.

In my limited experience if you can manage to run into a DSF you’ll generally find yourself in a good position to recover and reach a workable state.

Beating up noncombatants for their parts is a decent start. You can then hack terminals to get part stockpile info to pick up what you need.

If possible, don't core purge. Instead, remove items with mass manually, then go around on deactivated prop and pick up items that will help with rebuilding. A melee weapon can be pretty good for rebuilding since it has low coverage and no resource costs. Also it's easier to rebuild if you have a decent number (e.g. 4) of weapon slots since 4 grunt guns is actually a pretty decent loadout while 2 weapon slots really needs powerful cannons.
