Replicator

The Replicator is a function of the Icarus Mecha that allows the player to craft Components and Buildings directly by hand. It is the only crafting method available at the very start of the game, making it essential in the early game before automated production lines are established.

All Buildings in the game can be created in the Replicator, along with basic craftable Components. The recipe list shows items that can currently be made this way, grouped into categories such as Components and Buildings. Some resources and recipes cannot be replicated and must be produced in other machines instead, including recipes used in the Oil Refinery, Chemical Plant, Fractionator, and Miniature Particle Collider. Advanced recipes are also unavailable in the Replicator, with Space Warper being a notable exception.

To use it, select a recipe, adjust the quantity with the plus and minus buttons, and press Produce. The Replicator queue can hold multiple active recipes, and there is no overall limit to how many items can be queued. However, only up to ten of the same item can be added at once through the normal input steps; more can be added by repeating the process. Clicking an active queue entry cancels it and returns the consumed materials to the inventory.

• The Replicator is the default way to craft before automation is set up.
• It can produce all Buildings, but not every recipe in the game.
• Canceling a queued craft refunds the input materials.
• Space Warper is craftable here even though most advanced recipes are not.
