Guide: Advanced Construction

The page details the construction of "machines", a class of fairly complex objects used aboard the station. The basic process of construction is the same for all machines; only the parts used change.

• Activate a stack of at least 5 metal sheets in-hand.
• Select 'Frame' from the list that appears
• After a short crafting time, frame parts will be on the floor where your character is standing.
• Pick those up and activate them to select the type of machine you are making. (Most things just use the generic Machine frame or computer)
• After making a frame, right click it to rotate the facing if it's a directional machine like body scanners or consoles.
• Use a wrench on it to secure the frame to the floor.
• Insert the circuit board for the machine you are making into the frame. (Get these from R&D.)
• Apply a screwdriver to secure the circuit board.
• Insert wires into the frame.
• You can now examine the frame to see what extra parts the machine needs. (Also get these parts from R&D. You can use upgraded parts for some machines!)
• After inserting all required parts (examining will give a message along the lines of 'Requires nothing'), use a screwdriver on it again.

Some machines can be upgraded by science to make them more efficient.
