This is a guide to advanced construction such as machinery and consoles. If you were looking for advice on more simple construction, console Guide to Construction. If you wanted to know how to make the circuit boards below, use the circuit printer or Soldering Iron tool. Machine Construction Wired Frame.png Build a machine frame from your 5 metal sheets. Machine Frame.png Add wires. Circuit Frame.png Add a circuit board. The machine prompts your chat with required items, as you put them it it slowly makes its way to “it requires nothing.” Screwdriver tool.pngWhen all the parts are added, screwdriver the machine frame to finish it. Machine Stock Parts 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, the machine will generally have some advantages, detailed below.

The page details the construction of “machines”, a class of fairly complex objects used aboard the station. The basic process of construction is the same for all machines; only the parts used change.

Build a machine frame by clicking metal sheets in-hand and selecting “Machine Frame” from the resulting menu, this will create a blueprint which you can rotate. Machine Frame.png If you want to build a gas cooler or gas heater, don't forget to face the direction in which you want the machine to connect. Click on the blueprint with an empty hand to finalize its rotation. Add wires to the frame Wired Frame.png Add a circuit board Circuit Frame.png You will receive a prompt showing the items required for the machine. You can examine the frame to see what items it still requires, and add items to the machine by clicking on it with the items in-hand. When all the parts are added, screwdriver the machine frame to finish it Screwdriver tool.png Some machines can be upgraded by science to make them more efficient.
