Guide to construction
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.

Floors:
Lattice
The basic base for all types of construction, this is placed directly in space.
| Lattice Lattice |
Requires to build | How to build |
|---|---|---|
| Rodsx1 |
Use the rod on an empty space tile. | |
| How to deconstruct | ||
| Tools |
Use wirecutters to cut the lattice into one rod. | |
Catwalk
Built ontop of a lattice, mainly used for aesthetic purposes.
| Catwalk Catwalk |

|---|---|---|---|
| Rodsx1 |
Use the rods on a lattice. | ||
| How to deconstruct | |||
| Tools |
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 floor plating is present.

|---|---|---|---|
| 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. | ||
