Assemblers and Recipe Database

Recipe Database

	Size	Health	Power	Research Prerequisites	Resource Cost
	1x1	150HP	250W	Magnetic Tape	1x PRF Machine Frame 20x Steel 1x Component Industrial 1x Rim Factory Data Disk

The Portable Recipe Database can import recipes from nearby worktables. Afterwards, when reinstalled near assembler(s), it will upload its recipes to them.

Blue cells are import range for the database.

Uploaded recipes and bills will be lost if the database is moved or destroyed.

I wonder what all these other buttons do...

Assembler

	Size	Health	Power	Research Prerequisites	Resource Cost
	3x3	250HP	625W	Universal Autocrafting	2x PRF Robotic Arm 1x PRF Machine Frame 120x Steel 10x Plasteel

An automatic assembler controlled by a computer. Despite being called an assembler, it's also capable of simpler procedures such as cutting stone blocks, and refinery work.

Downloads recipes from an adjacent recipe database.

White cell is input range, Blue cell are db range, Yellow cell is output

Adaptive Assembler

	Size	Health	Power	Research Prerequisites	Resource Cost
	3x3	350HP	700W	Self Correcting Assemblers	2x PRF Robotic Arm 1x PRF Weak AI Chip 1x PRF Machine Frame Large 10x Plasteel 150x Steel 2x Component Industrial

An automatic assembler controlled by a primitive AI.

The simple artificial neural network enables it to learn; to be more precise and efficient at individual recipes. Slowly overwrites currently unused recipe algorithms, as it has limited processing and memory capacity.

Assembler / Recipe Database Usage

Once you have built, for example, a Machining Table; build or place a Recipe database adjacent to the table. Once built or placed, click on the Recipe database and observe the "Import recipe" action. Clicking that will open a contextual menu showing you the recipes available in the Machining Table. Clicking on any of those recipes will begin the importing process, that process will take time.

Once you have imported one or more recipes into the Recipe database, you can place it adjacent to either an Assembler or Adaptive assembler. This, in turn, will allow the adjacent assembler(s) to use the recipes from the Recipe database to setup bills as if it were the initial Machining table.
