Add the following to the list of Equipment in the rule Equipment:
* Probe. Limited (1). Single use. Blunt object.
* Loaded Probe: Limited (0). Single use. Blunt object
Add the following to the list of Crafted Equipment in the rule Crafting:
Ingot and Conductive Wire + Rocket Fuel = Probe
Add a subrule to the rule Bases, called The Probaliser:
A Pathfinder whose Location in the Cortex Desert and who is carrying a Probem may use the Probaliser.
When a Pathfinder uses the Probaliser, they must carry out the following atomic action:
* Spend 1 Stamina and 1 Probe
* Roll 2DICEX, where X is the number of Locations.
* If the result matches the index number of a Location, create a Base there owned by the Computer. If there is an existing Base in that Location then it is destroyed and any Gear that it contained is lost.
* If the result does not match the index number of a Location, create a new Location with no links, and create a Base there.
In the rule Bases, change “A pathfinder sharing a location with a base may remove an item from the base’s gear to start carrying it, and may stop carrying an item to put it in the base’s gear” to “A pathfinder sharing a location with a base owned by themselves or the Computer may remove an item from the base’s gear to start carrying it, and may stop carrying an item to put it in the base’s gear.”

“Ingot + Conductive Wire + Rocket Fuel = Probe” isn’t a valid Crafting recipe - there should only be one plus, so that we know which are the Materials and which the Tools. (If you’re intending that all three items get used up, “Ingot and Conductive Wire + Rocket Fuel = Probe” would have the same effect, as Rocket Fuel is Single-Use when used as a Tool.)
