Automated Assembly (Electronics tree).Manufacturing Station can automatically assemble almost any item (except liquids and purchaseable items like Perfectly Generic Item). Crafting time is a square root of time it takes to hand-craft the same item.
Its early-game variant is Gnome Workshop (which doesn't require Power, but is significantly slower).
How to use
- Prototype slot is where you place the item you want to make (quantity is irrelevant: you don't need to place 30 Crystal Blocks into this slot to craft them, 1 Crystal Block is enough).
- Materials slots are for putting all the required materials that you would have spent if you were hand-crafting said prototype.
Limitations
Recipes that produce liquids (e.g. Liquified Crystal), use weird crafting stations (e.g. Snarshing Table or Bee Refuge) or consume currency (pixels, Madness, etc.) are not allowed. They wouldn't work in Manufacturing Station.
Crafting bars from ore (e.g. Iron Bar from Iron Ore) is also not allowed, because it's much less efficient than using smelters (Electric Furnace, etc.), which do the same at lower power cost. This limitation also prevents crafting bars by other means, such as crafting Plutonium Rod from Deuterium Rod.
Troubleshooting
The station will automatically start (doesn't need to be turned on), as long as there is sufficient material in the materials slots and a valid item in the prototype slot.
If it doesn't work, then:
- A) There is not enough power
- B) You have a connected switch turning it off
- C) Recipe is not allowed (e.g. resulting item is a liquid)
