Workshop
Blueprints and Tech Level
As soon as Construct remains spread through the Wayback, frantic research is undertaken all over the system. Most of the results are sealed behind heavy doors, but some of these blueprints find their way to the black market through shady avenues.
As the items gathered from the Constructs themselves have no use for humans, they have to be transformed or, more easily, used to improve existing, already tested items. The efforts to find actual uses for these items are very costly, cheaper for simple items, and more expensive for advanced ones.
The blueprints have tech levels one, two, or three. These levels symbolize the respective complexity of a project. Tech level one items will most likely be slightly modified, and improved existing weapons and items, while tech level three items are highly advanced and experimental.
Workshop and Item Creation
Once a project has been unlocked through a blueprint, it can be assembled in the new workshop window. Each project, or blueprint, requires a specific set of Construct loot items to be assembled. The items needed are highly dependent on the tech level and the type of item that is going to be created.
Once a blueprint has been unlocked, it can be used over and over as long as the required construct items are available.
Workshop Components
These are the loot items salvaged from Menace units which can be combined with Blueprints to create the new items and equipment. They are also a valuable commodity and can be exchanged on the Black Market for varying amounts of trade value.
