Exosuit Fabricator Researchable Items
Construction
See here how to build machines out of the components you discover. This is where advanced technology you discovered by increasing tech trees will be made. Nothing exciting at first can be built, but you will get increasingly more fun devices as tech trees increase. Some high tech items may malfuction every once in a while, but putting them back in the Analyzer will allow you to see what went wrong and fix the problem, creating a more efficient device. You will unlock items for the Exosuit Fabricator as well.
Upgrading Machines
All machines are composed of components. There are better versions of many components, attained through research. These instructions only show you how to construct the very basic form of e.g. Exosuit Fabricator. But if you build an Exosuit Fabricator with the most complicated versions of the components instead of the regular ones, you'll get different advantages:
- Better Matter bin makes you have more storage space.
- Better Manipulator improves build speed.
- Better Laser improves materials efficiency.
- Bigger Beaker increases the reagent storage size.
Once you unlock advanced components, people around the station will probably want you to upgrade the machinery. The process is simple.
- Screwdriver on the machine.
- Crowbar on the machine.
- Take the board and re-insert it into machine.
- Insert parts you want to use.
- Screwdriver.
File:RPED.gif Alternately, you can use RPED (Rapid Part Exchange Device):
- Load RPED with parts.
- Screwdriver on the machine.
- Click on it with RPED.
- Screwdriver again.
