PDA modules visually look like a memory card (however, despite this, they are popularly called a “flash drive”) and are necessary mainly for adding Craft recipes to the PDA (without which you will not be able to interact with equipment to create various items). The table lists all existing PDA modules in the game, what they are needed for, and where to get them:
