Bauera is the heart of your progression in Beast of Reincarnation. While Emma grows stronger through weapons, skills, and equipment, Bauera unlocks the systems that support nearly every aspect of the game, including crafting, farming, cooking, research, and trading.
If you’ve ever interacted with an object only to receive the “Lack Capability to Perform Action” message, it’s usually because Bauera needs additional upgrades. Here’s how the system works and what you should prioritize first.
What Is Bauera?
Bauera serves as your home base throughout the game. As you progress through the story, it gradually expands with new facilities and upgrades that improve exploration, combat preparation, and resource management.
Improving Bauera unlocks features such as:
- Additional crafting options
- New merchants
- Better cooking recipes
- Farming and growing chamber upgrades
- Incubator improvements
- Expanded research systems
- Higher equipment upgrade limits
Many of these upgrades directly strengthen Emma by providing better equipment, stronger consumables, and easier access to valuable resources.
How Bauera Upgrades Work
Unlike Emma, Bauera doesn’t gain experience from combat.
Instead, progression depends on collecting two special resources while exploring:
- Memory Chips
- Electronic Brains
Memory Chips increase Bauera’s core capabilities, while Electronic Brains unlock entirely new systems and facilities.
Once you’ve collected enough Memory Chips, returning to Bauera automatically applies the upgrade. There’s no separate upgrade menu or manual point allocation.
Memory Chip Types
Memory Chips are divided into three categories, each improving different parts of Bauera.
Power Memory Chips
Power upgrades primarily improve equipment progression and facility expansion.
Benefits include:
- Higher weapon upgrade limits
- Larger facility capacity
- Expanded incubator space
- Additional growing chamber slots
- Access to stronger equipment upgrades
Power is generally the most useful attribute early in the game because it affects several progression systems at once.
Calculation Memory Chips
Calculation upgrades focus on crafting and research.
Increasing this attribute unlocks:
- Advanced crafting recipes
- Superior and Ultimate meals
- Improved farming research
- Better harvest yields
- Increased egg production
These upgrades become increasingly valuable later in the game, as stronger meals provide excellent combat bonuses.
Knowledge Memory Chips
Knowledge upgrades enhance ranged combat.
Higher levels improve:
- Bow and crossbow upgrades
- Ranged weapon progression
- Arrow handling speed
- Draw speed
Players who rely heavily on ranged weapons may want to prioritize Knowledge earlier than melee-focused builds.
What Happens to Extra Memory Chips?
If you collect more Memory Chips than required, they aren’t wasted.
Any surplus Memory Chips are automatically converted into Amber, giving exploration rewards continued value even after reaching upgrade milestones.
Where to Find Memory Chips
Memory Chips don’t have fixed spawn locations.
Instead, they’re earned through exploration across every region in the game.
Some of the best places to search include:
| Area | Where to Explore |
|---|---|
| Early Zones | Side paths and dead ends |
| Forest Areas | Hidden clearings and optional trails |
| Industrial Facilities | Side rooms and maintenance corridors |
| Underground Areas | Branching tunnels and hidden chambers |
| Late-Game Regions | Every optional section before leaving the area |
To collect more Memory Chips:
- Explore every optional route.
- Search hidden corners before advancing the story.
- Follow Koo whenever it detects something nearby.
- Return to earlier regions after unlocking new traversal abilities.
Careful exploration is far more effective than rushing through the main objectives.
Electronic Brains
Electronic Brains are much rarer than Memory Chips.
Rather than improving existing systems, they unlock entirely new facilities and functions inside Bauera.
Typical rewards include:
| Progression Stage | Unlocks |
| Early Story | Basic facilities |
| Mid-Game | Additional crafting and research systems |
| Advanced Areas | Incubator improvements |
| Late Game | Expanded facility upgrades and advanced functions |
Electronic Brains are usually awarded through major exploration milestones or key story progression rather than ordinary exploration.
Best Upgrade Priority
Eventually you’ll want every Bauera upgrade, but some offer much greater value early on.
A recommended order is:
- Trading – Unlock merchants to access better materials and equipment.
- Crafting – Improve your gear and unlock stronger recipes.
- Cooking – Gain access to powerful food buffs for difficult encounters.
- Incubator – Expand long-term progression once your core systems are established.
For Memory Chips, focusing on Power first is generally the safest choice, as it improves both equipment upgrades and facility expansion.
How to Fix “Lack Capability to Perform Action”
If an interaction displays the “Lack Capability to Perform Action” message, Bauera hasn’t reached the required upgrade level.
To unlock the feature:
- Continue exploring nearby regions.
- Collect additional Memory Chips.
- Return to Bauera so upgrades are applied automatically.
- Revisit the previously inaccessible object.
In nearly every case, increasing Bauera’s capabilities will remove the restriction.
A Good Bauera Routine
Returning to Bauera after each expedition is the ideal time to prepare for your next journey.
Before heading back into the field, consider:
- Eating a meal for temporary buffs.
- Upgrading newly available skills.
- Checking Koo’s latest research.
- Crafting equipment if materials are available.
- Expanding facilities whenever possible.
- Saving your progress.
Following this routine keeps both Emma and Bauera steadily improving throughout the game, making later chapters and boss encounters much easier to manage.
