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

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, 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.

Ore Silo

	Parts needed	Deconstruction
	1x Ore Silo (Machine Board)	Screwdriver Crowbar Wirecutters Wrench
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.

Quantum Pad

	Parts needed	Deconstruction
	1x Quantum Pad Board 1x Bluespace crystal 1x Piece of cable 1x Capacitor 1x Micro Manipulator	Screwdriver Crowbar Wirecutters Wrench
Can be linked to another quantum pad to set it as a target: when used, it will transfer everything on top of it to its target pad, after a delay, then goes on cooldown. To link pads: Open the receiving pad with a screwdriver then use a multitool on it to save it on the buffer. Close it, then go to the sending pad and use the multitool on it without opening it. If you want them linked both ways, repeat the procedure with the opposite pads. You can also save a receiving pad to a Quantum Keycard. Simply use the Quantum Keycard on the receiving pad to save that pad as a custom destination. Then activate another quantum pad with the same keycard and it will activate a teleport to the quantum pad saved to the keycard, instead of to the destination saved to the pad.
Upgrade effects
Better capacitor: reduces power cost. Better manipulator: reduces cooldown and chargeup time.

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 blow the fuck up, and spread its contained items all over the place. Do with this what you will.
Vendors can be unanchored and moved by opening its panel with a screwdriver and then using a wrench.
You can't deconstruct custom vendors. Only break them. Which makes them blow the fuck up. Useful barricade!
