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, Mechbay 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.
1x Clone Pod Board
2x Pieces of cable
2x Micro manipulators
2x Scanning modules
1x Console screen
Screwdriver
Crowbar
Wirecutters
Wrench
Upgrade effects
Better manipulators: clones grow faster
Better scanning modules: boosts efficiency (full grown clones have less damage, no more risk of harmful mutation, chance of random beneficial mutation, cloning pod more resistant to EMPs, enables the cloning autoprocess)
1x Sleeper Board
1x Piece of cable
1x Matter bin
1x Micro manipulator
2x Console screens
Close the sleeper
Screwdriver (use wrench here to rotate the machine)
Crowbar
Wirecutters
Wrench
Upgrade effects
Better matter bins allow the sleeper to treat more heavily damaged patients, up to a limit of -75% health. Better manipulators unlock a larger selection of chemicals.
Nano manipulator adds:
Imidazoline: Heals eye damage.
Dexalin plus: Replaces Dexalin. More effective.
Dermaline: Replaces Kelotane. More effective.
Pico manipulator also adds:
Tricordazine: Heals brute, burn, suffocation and toxic damage, though not very effectively.
Anti-toxin (Dylovene): Heals toxic damage.
Ryetalin: Heals genetic disabilities/mutations.
Alkysine: Heals brain damage.
Arithrazine: Heals radiation very quickly, chance to cause slight brute damage.
Better components: ability to deconstruct items with lower reliability, higher amounts of salvaged glass&metal from deconstructed items are sent to the protolathe.
1x Vendor Board (Use screwdriver to select Vendor type)
3x Refill packs (corresponding to the vendor type)
Screwdriver (use wrench here to move the machine)
Crowbar
Wirecutters
Wrench

None?
Deconstructing the Nuclear Fission Device:
Screwdriver with Thin Tip(Traitors after the core get this for free), Cable Coil, Pen, Welder, Nuke Core Container (Also free for Traitors with the objective).
The core itself is a traitor objective, and highly radiactive to anyone nearby if not in the container I think.
Build a machine frame from your 5 metal sheets.
Add wires.
Add a circuitboard.
When all the parts are added, screwdriver the machine frame to finish it.
