BEFORE YOU FINISH
- Welder is in natural-resources mode.
- Ores are in the character inventory.
- The plan does not require a machine-only component.
GETTING STARTED / 02
Build directly from ores
Let the suit craft simple components automatically while welding.
- Duration
- 4 min
- Level
- Beginner
OBJECTIVE
An early-game block built without first installing a production chain.
PROCEDURE
- 01
Choose the block
Add the block to your build plan to see the required components and ores.
- 02
Gather resources
Mine the ores shown in the plan and keep them in the character inventory. Some advanced components require machinery.
- 03
Select the welder mode
Aim at the unfinished block and press R to switch from components to natural resources.
- 04
Weld the block
Hold the welder action. The suit turns compatible ores into components as construction progresses.
AVOID
Suit construction is mainly an early start. A production chain becomes more efficient at scale.
