Machine Construction Steps
- Build a machine frame from your 5 metal sheets.
- Add wires.
- Wrench it.
- Add a circuitboard.
- Examine the machine frame and it will tell you what items you need now.
- When all the parts are added, screwdriver the machine frame to finish it.
Upgrading Machines
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, Quantum Pad, Mech Bay Power Port and some others: 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, DNA Scanner: Interacting with a console to find nearby machines.
- Teleporter Station: Using wirecutters after opening the panel with a screwdriver.

Ore Silo
Parts needed | Deconstruction | |
---|---|---|
1x Ore Silo (Machine Board) |
||
Stores sheets of materials and shares them with linked machines. Ore Redemption Machines, Techfabs, Protolathes and Circuit Imprinters can be linked to it by first using a multitool on the ore silo, and then using the same multitool on the machine you wish to link it to. By default, the pre-built Ore Silo is already linked to those machines that exist roundstart. Typically found in the Vault. Clicking the ore silo opens a menu. This menu can be used to unlink machines, and gives you a list of items/materials that have been printed from linked machines, and the area locations of them. Useful if the ORM gets stolen. You can eject/insert materials directly into the silo. If the silo is destroyed, all inserted materials in its linked system will be ejected from it. | ||

Smartfridge
Types of Smartfridge
To create other types of fridge, such as the chemistry smart storage, use a screwdriver on the Smartfridge Board before installing it.
Smartfridge Board settings:
- Plant produce: Default smartfridge, stores plant growns and seeds.
- Food: Stores food items.
- Drinks: Stores drinks, named 'drink showcase'.
- Slimes: Stores slime extracts, named 'smart slime extract storage'.
- Organs: Can store organs. Storing organs will prevent them from decaying. Can store 20 organs per tier of matter bin. Every tier of matter bin beyond the first will make the fridge repair organs, but will not repair completely broken ones.
- Chems: Stores chemicals, in bottles, beakers, pills, patches, syringes and pill bottles. Will not store empty bottles, beakers or pill bottles. Named 'smart chemical storage'.
- Viruses: Can store the same items as smart chemical storage, but the fridge is named 'smart virus storage'.
- Disks: Constructs a disk compartmentalizer (instead of a fridge), able to store disks. Mostly useful for botany.

Roulette Table
Parts needed | Deconstruction | |
---|---|---|
Can not be constructed. |
Can not be deconstructed, but can be hacked. | |
Start by swiping it with an ID. That ID becomes the "house", where all won bets will be taken from, and all lost bets will be inserted. Once an ID is linked, any ID can be used on the machine to spin the wheel. You can not spin the wheel if the bet would reward more money if won than the house has available. Click the machine to open its menu, where you can bolt it down or place bets. Only one person can bet at a time/per spin. People can place bets by pressing one the various buttons while wearing an ID with a bank account. Any winnings will be distributed in front of the machine as coins. Theres a 2.7% house favor. Betting on singles gives you 35x payout, and betting on odd, even, red, black 1 to 18 or 19 to 36 gives you 2x payout. To be able to reset owner and let someone else become the house you must hack the machine. | ||

Must be operated by a second person with an adjacent Nanite Chamber Control Console (they link automatically). Click the nanite chamber to open it, click-drag a person to put them into the chamber, and then click the console for a menu. With a subject in the chamber, start by clicking "Implant Nanites". This will implant a nanite swarm in the subject. These nanites will not have any programs yet, so they do nothing except generate nanite volume. To install programs you will need to use a Nanite Cloud Controller .

Custom Vendor
A custom vendor is constructed the same way as the other vendors (machine frame -> wire -> wrench -> board -> restocking unit -> screwdriver). You can buy all parts needed from a Vendomat. You can also print a Custom Vendor Refill (restocking unit) from an Autolathe, and use a screwdriver on any vendor board to turn it into a custom vendor board.
How to use a custom vendor:
- Use your ID on it to link it to your account and make you the owner.
- Click the custom vendor and it will let you set a name and description.
- Get a Price Tagger from Autolathe or Vendomat.
- Activate the Price Tagger in hand and type a price. Then click any item with it to price that item.
- Insert the priced item into the Custom Vendor. Others can now buy that item for that price. The money goes to your account.
More information:
- As the owner you can dispense the inserted items for free.
- The vendor is hard to destroy, but not indestructable.
- When destroyed the custom vendor will explode and spread its contained items all over the place.
- It can be unanchored and moved by opening its panel with a screwdriver and then using a wrench.
