Protolathe

What is a Protolathe?

A Protolathe is a machine used by the Research & Development (R&D)/Science Department to construct many different types of objects. This includes numerous different objects including tools, consumables, machine components and more. One can be found at R&D at the beginning of every round. Which items are available in the Protolathe is determined by the research level the Scientists have reached. The machine uses almost every type of material to construct objects. A list of objects the Protolathe can construct, as well as the material requirements, can be found below.

Beginning Items

• Design Storage Disk: 300 Metal, 100 Glass
• Technology Data Storage Disk: 300 Metal, 100 Glass
• Basic Capacitor: 100 Metal, 100 Glass
• Basic Scanning Module: 100 Metal, 50 Glass
• Micro Manipulator: 100 Metal
• Basic Micro-Laser: 100 Metal, 50 Glass
• Basic Matter Bin: 100 Metal
• Basic Power Cell: 700 Metal, 50 Glass
• Tracking Beacon: 150 Metal, 100 Glass

List of Creatable Items

The research level shown below is the level needed to create the item using the Protolathe. See Destructive Analyzer for a guide on how to reach these levels.

See Template:PL_Item for instructions on how to add a new item.

The following table is likely out-of-date! For 100% accurate information, see the real design files on GitHub. Those files control what can be produced by the protolathe, etc. You don't need to be a programmer to read them. Just be aware that 'syndicate' tech means illegal tech, and 'programming' tech means data tech.
