Machines

Machine Construction Steps

1. Build a machine frame from your 5 metal sheets.
2. Add wires.
3. Add a circuitboard.
4. Examine the machine frame and it will tell you what items you need now.
5. When all the parts are added, screwdriver the machine frame to finish it.

Upgrading Machines

See here how to upgrade machines so they work faster, have bigger storage size and save more materials.

Linking Machines

Certain machines need to be linked to other machines or computers in order to work properly. There's different methods for different machines:

• Telecommunications machines, Telepad, Quantum Pad, Mech Bay Power Port: Using a multitool to download and upload data to link two devices which can sometimes require to open the machine's panel with a screwdriver first.
• R&D machines, Turbine, Cloning Pod, DNA Scanner: Interacting with a console to find nearby machines.
• Teleporter Station: Using wirecutters after opening the panel with a screwdriver.
