Fabricator

Fabricator is a basic production building that utilizes nanoscale printing to make Products. It is obtainable as the Level 2 reward of the Selenian Corporation in the Corporate Terminal. The Fabricator’s standard foundation footprint is 3W x 3L, and it has an alternate 4W x 4L size. Because the Fabricator v.2 has a foundation one block wider, builders sometimes leave a one-block gap between basic Fabricators to allow space for upgrading.

The Fabricator can produce a wide range of intermediate and consumable items using raw inputs and short process durations. Typical outputs include Basic Building Material, various metal components (Titanium and Wolfram rods, sheets, beams, plates, and wire), structural parts (Tube, Rotor, Stabilizer, Stator), ammunition (Pistol Ammo), and other manufactured goods (Calcite Sheets, Applicator). Production runs are fast, measured in seconds, with per-minute rates noted for planning factory throughput.

• Basic Building Material: inputs — 1 Titanium Ore, 1 Wolfram Ore; duration — 2 seconds; output — 10 Basic Building Material; rate — 300/min.
• Pistol Ammo: inputs — 14 Basic Building Material; duration — 4 seconds; output — 25 Pistol Ammo; rate — 375/min.
• Calcite Sheets: inputs — 1 Calcium Block; duration — 2 seconds; output — 2 Calcite Sheets; rate — 60/min.
• Titanium Rod: inputs — 1 Titanium Bar; duration — 2 seconds; output — 1 Titanium Rod; rate — 30/min.
• Titanium Sheet: inputs — 1 Titanium Bar; duration — 2 seconds; output — 2 Titanium Sheet; rate — 60/min.
• Titanium Beam: inputs — 2 Titanium Bar; duration — 3 seconds; output — 3 Titanium Beam; rate — 60/min.
• Wolfram Wire: inputs — 1 Wolfram Bar; duration — 4 seconds; output — 2 Wolfram Wire; rate — 30/min.
• Wolfram Plate: inputs — 2 Wolfram Bar; duration — 2 seconds; output — 2 Wolfram Plate; rate — 60/min.
• Rotor: inputs — 2 Titanium Rod, 2 Wolfram Wire; duration — 6 seconds; output — 1 Rotor; rate — 10/min.
• Tube: inputs — 1 Titanium Rod, 1 Titanium Sheet; duration — 2 seconds; output — 2 Tube; rate — 60/min.
• Stabilizer: inputs — 1 Rotor, 2 Titanium Rod; duration — 3 seconds; output — 1 Stabilizer; rate — 20/min.
• Stator: inputs — 2 Titanium Housing, 1 Wolfram Wire; duration — 3 seconds; output — 1 Stator; rate — 20/min.
• Applicator: inputs — 8 Tube, 2 Glass; duration — 4 seconds; output — 1 Applicator; rate — 15/min.

Practical notes for deployment and planning:

• Footprint considerations matter when placing multiple Fabricators because Fabricator v.2 occupies a wider foundation; leave a one-block gap if you plan upgrades or tighter factory layouts.
• The Fabricator excels at producing fast, short-run components and basic consumables; use it for early- to mid-game part production to feed assemblers and other machines.
• Balance input supply (ores, bars, glass, calcium blocks) to maintain continuous cycles given the short durations and high per-minute rates.
