Machines & production

Some trades run on heavy machinery and permits. Machines turn raw inputs into valuable artifacts through production chains, and Dr. Jackson sells many of them.

Known machines and devices

Machine	What it does	Notes
Furnace	Takes modules such as the Junk Processing Module	Modules draw power. Until 48.3.12, the Junk Processing Module secretly drew twice the power it displayed.
Cryptographic desequencer	Works with blank disposable keycards	Blank keycards can’t go in the output slot (48.3.10).
Bottle printer	Makes bottles for the water trade	Upgradable in the demo.
Vacuum robot	Cleans the shop at night	Has a manual mode.
Mirage Projector	Boosts store attractiveness
Cassette player	Plays music	Resumes after loading a save.
The Smuggler	Hides contraband	See Contraband.

The demo adds one more machine and a new challenge perk.

Power

Modules draw power, and the game shows how much each one uses. Power numbers will be added from game data.

Coming soon

A modules simulator and a production-chain calculator are planned once game data is extracted.
