If you wish to do any engineering job, such as Station Engineer you will be required to know how to construct machines, objects and various other things.

Basic Tools

Before you can begin any construction or deconstruction you need to gather a few useful tools. Engineering roles such as Station Engineer start with a loaded toolbelt, but if you find yourself without one, tools can also be found in blue mechanical toolboxes and yellow electrical toolboxes. If you have access, tools can also be made at an Autolathe for a small material cost or dispensed from a Youtool vending machine.

Constructions:

Floors:

Lattice

The basic base for all types of construction, this is placed directly in space.

Lattice Lattice	Requires to build	How to build
Lattice Lattice	Rodsx1	Use the rod on an empty space tile.
How to deconstruct
Tools	Use wirecutters to cut the lattice into one rod.
Wirecutters	Use wirecutters to cut the lattice into one rod.

Catwalk

Built ontop of a lattice, mainly used for aesthetic purposes.

Catwalk Catwalk	Requires to build	How to build
Catwalk Catwalk	Rodsx1	Use the rods on a lattice.
How to deconstruct
Tools	Use wirecutters to cut the catwalk into 2 rods.
Wirecutters	Use wirecutters to cut the catwalk into 2 rods.

Plating

The basic floor which you put things like wires and pipes upon. 'All' floors and walls are built on top of this. Machines and objects cannot be secured unless a floor plating is present.

Plating Plating	Requires to build	How to build
Plating Plating	Floor tilex1	Use a floor tile on a lattice or catwalk.
How to deconstruct
Tools	Use a crowbar on broken plating, otherwise it does not deconstruct.
