Construction (Process)

• explanation of the process with BPs
• construction of rare items
• build limits (quality of items), fails
• slots and how to mod weapons
• discussion about slot chances

	Step 1: Preparation Before the construction can be started, a few preconditions have to be met to get the job done successfully: Both the inventory (F2) and the processor window (F7) are the most freqented windows for construction, so it's best to keep these open and close to each other. Without doubt a construction tool is needed. A usual place is the top left slot of the processor window, as depicted in the image to the left. At least one blueprint (BP) is needed, as well as the parts listed on it. These things are best stored in the inventory. The BPs are the result of a Research. Depending on the TL of the item to build, more or less Construction Grease (CG) will be used up. It resides in the inventory. To finish the preparations, one of the BPs has to be moved into one of the free slots of the processor window.
	Step 2: Construction After a BP has been placed into the process window, a click on the START button will initiate the construction process. The game automatically puts the required parts into the process window and starts the process if all parts listed on the BP were available. In the case they didn't an error message will be shown in the chat window. Then you have to wait until the process is completed. Higher TL items need more time for the process, a higher construction skill will counter this to a certain degree.
	Step 3: Retrieving the result Once the construction finished successfully, the resulting item can be picked out of the big result slot of the processor window. If more than one item should be constructed, just place another of the BPs into a free slot of the processor window and continue with Step 2. The empty datacube and the final item will be moved into your inventory as soon as the START button is clicked, and the new item is build.
	Special case: Rare item construction Rare item construction is similar to normal construction, with the difference that rare items don't have a blueprint. Without a blueprint you can't operate as quickly; you'll have to place all the required tech parts into the processor window manually, as it has been done in the image to the left. Once they have all been placed, press the START button and wait until the process has finished.
