Abdya: /* Waiting for Completion */

This article covers the very first steps of progression, explaining how resource extraction and machines work, and how to build a small starter factory.
New players are also encouraged to familiarize themselves with the [[Interface]] article.

__TOC__

== Manual Resource Collection ==

This section explains how to manually gather the resources required for early progression.

=== Finding Your Way ===

During the early game, you will need to collect several resources manually.

To avoid getting lost, use the map by pressing '''M'''.
If you do lose your way, press '''Escape''' and select '''Teleport to Home'''.
This will instantly return you to the [[Spawner]] on your starting platform.

=== Collecting Copper Ore ===

First, collect at least '''50 units of copper ore'''.

Both [[Malachite Ore|Malachite]] and [[Chalcopyrite Ore|Chalcopyrite]] can be used, as they contain copper.
These resources can be found in several forms:
* Resource clusters, visible on the map and on the compass
* Surface deposits directly in the terrain

Malachite surface deposits are '''green''', while Chalcopyrite deposits are '''reddish-orange'''.

Both clusters and deposits can be mined using the [[Multitool]].
However:
* Ore clusters never deplete when mined manually
* Surface deposits are depleted when you dig them up

=== Collecting Fuel ===

Next, collect '''30 units of any fuel'''.

The best fuel options at the start of the game are:
* [[Logs]] — obtained by cutting down trees
* [[Coal Ore|Coal]] — mined from clusters or surface deposits, similar to ores

=== Returning to Base ===

After collecting the required resources, return to your base manually or by using '''Teleport to Home'''.

You are now ready to begin building your first machines.

== Smelting Copper ==

This section explains how to smelt copper and produce your first metal plates.

=== Preparing Stone ===

At the start of the game, you have access to 99 units of [[Stone Surface|stone]], which is sufficient for early progression.

If you need more stone, you can:
* Mine stone rocks scattered across the world
* Dig underground until you reach the stone layer

<gallery>
File:First_Steps_Stone1.png|There are small stones.
File:First_Steps_Stone2.png|There are also large stones.
File:First_Steps_Stone4.png|But there is still more stone underground.
</gallery>
Note that the [[Building Material]] recipe requires '''white stone'''.
Red or dark stone variants cannot be used for this recipe.

=== Crafting the Furnace and Smelter ===

Return to your base and open the Inventory by pressing '''E'''.
In the '''Catalog''', select the '''Unlocked''' tab.

In the '''Stone''' category, craft the following machines by clicking on them with the '''Left Mouse Button''':
* [[Stone Furnace]]
* [[Stone Smelter]]

Crafting progress is displayed in the lower-left corner of the screen.
By clicking on an item currently being crafted, you can cancel its production.

=== Placing the Furnace ===

[[File:First_Steps_PlacingFurnace.png|right|thumb|Working Furnace & Smelter]]
Select the '''Stone Furnace''' in your Inventory and close the Inventory.

You will see a placement preview of the furnace.
To rotate the preview, press '''R'''.

Choose a location on your platform and place the furnace using the '''Left Mouse Button'''.
If you are not satisfied with the placement, you can always remove the machine using the Multitool.

Notice the '''red circle''' on top of the furnace — this is its '''heat output'''.

=== Connecting the Smelter ===

Next, select the '''Stone Smelter''' in your Inventory and place it directly on top of the furnace.
This connects the heat output of the furnace to the heat input of the smelter.

The furnace will now supply heat, allowing the smelter to operate.

==== Machine Inputs and Outputs ====

''Tip:'' All machines have inputs and outputs.

* Inputs are usually displayed with a '''solid outline'''
* Outputs are usually displayed with a '''dashed outline'''

However, '''heat, kinetic, and electrical outputs''' are always shown with a solid outline.
The machine tooltip clearly indicates which resources the machine accepts and which it outputs.

=== Smelting Copper ===

Finally, open the '''Stone Smelter''' using the '''Right Mouse Button''' and place the mined '''copper ore''' inside it.
Place '''Fuel''' into the '''Stone Furnace'''.

If everything is set up correctly:
* The furnace will light up with a fire animation
* Molten metal will flow inside the smelter
* The smelter recipe progress bar will begin to fill

Once the progress bar is complete, you will receive the final product — a [[Copper Plate]].

== Researching New Machines ==

Before you can begin research, you must build and power a [[Computer]] so that it can start generating '''Computation'''.

=== Preparing for Research ===

Wait until at least '''23 Copper Plates''' have been smelted, then collect them.
After that, open the '''Catalog''' and craft the following machines:

# [[Stone Furnace]]
# [[Copper Stirling Engine]]
# [[Copper Compact Generator]]
# [[Copper Computer]]

=== Building the Research Setup ===

Now place the machines in sequence, matching their inputs and outputs by color.

# Place the '''Stone Furnace'''.
# Place the '''Copper Stirling Engine''' on top of the furnace.
# Attach the '''Copper Compact Generator''' to the Stirling Engine, connecting the '''yellow output''' to the '''yellow input'''.
# Finally, place the '''Copper Computer''', connecting the '''blue output''' to the '''blue input'''.

Insert '''Fuel''' into the furnace at the bottom of the structure.
Once powered, the computer will begin operating and generating Computation.
[[File:First_Steps_ResearchSetup.jpg|thumb|center|700px|Early-game research setup]]

=== Unlocking Research ===

Open the Research tree in one of the following ways:
* Click the '''Research''' button in the lower-left corner of the screen
* Press the '''J''' hotkey

Your primary goal is to research '''Automatic Mining'''.
However, this technology is locked behind other research nodes, so you must unlock them first.

Follow this order:
# Select '''Basic Machines''' and click '''Start Research''' in the upper-right corner of the screen.
# Add '''Automation''' to the research queue.
# Add '''Automatic Mining''' to the research queue.

=== Waiting for Completion ===

Once all required research has been queued, all that remains is to wait for the research to complete.

== Mining ==
Now we don't want to keep going out and manually mining ore - it's time to automate that. Build the following : Three [[Copper Hand Generator]]; A [[Copper Drilling Rig]]; and a [[Stone Chest]].

Next we want to find a place to drill for Chalcopyrite. Press M to open your [[Interface#Map_%26_World_Generation|Map]]. If the ore names are not shown, use the Options button, and select Ore Names. Find the nearest Chalcopyrite Ore to your home and walk over there.

Select the Drilling Rig from your inventory, but don't put it down just yet. Check the text at the top of the screen to make sure that you are over the Chalcopyrite deposit. Next, select your Basic Platform blocks and build a 6x6 platform. You can '''Drag''' to build an area or a line of blocks. You could build directly on the ground, but it's easier to keep things tidy on platforms. If there's any dirt on top of the platform, the multitool can remove it. Now place your drilling rig, checking that it's going to mine the correct ore.

On the back of the rig, there are 3 Kinetic inputs. Attach your hand generators to these (match the circles using R to rotate) and once placed, use Left Clicks to wind them up.

On the other side of the rig, there's a square output port. Put your Chest right in front of it, touching the rig. Now the rig will happy mine ore for you while you are away doing other things.

== Next Steps (Homework) ==
Here's some ideas that you might want to do to move forward.

* Feed and Empty your copper smelter. Use a [[Chest]] and a [[Robot Arm]] to feed ore into the smelter and take out copper plates. Use [[Conveyor]]<nowiki/>s to move items from place to place.
* Replace the drilling rig hand generators with sterling engines. You'll need a fuel source (An [[Atmospheric Condenser]] to feed water into an [[Automatic Farm]] to feed wood into a [[Furnace]])
* Make copper more efficient. Middle Mouse click on some Chalcopyrite ore. To the right is a series of machines that prosses the ore into different forms. Multiple plates can be made from a single ore.
* Build one of every Copper object. Understand what they do, and how they might fit into production lines. Middle Clicking on a machine will tell you how it's made and what it can do.
* Move from Copper into Steel. As you move up the resource tree, your machines will become faster, but need more energy.

== Closing ==
We hope you find this guide useful. If you have any comments or suggestions, please feel free to put them into the '''Talk''' page, and we'll review them. Also, if you have any questions, we have a Discord channel here : [https://discord.com/channels/446797368839503893/500231296178585600 General Discord Channel]

However, this technology is locked behind other research nodes, so you must unlock them first.

Follow this order:
# Select '''Basic Machines''' and click '''Start Research''' in the upper-right corner of the screen.
# Add '''Automation''' to the research queue.
# Add '''Automatic Mining''' to the research queue.

=== Waiting for Completion ===

Once all required research has been queued, all that remains is to wait for the research to complete.

Now fuel the new furnace, and we're ready to do some Research.

Press '''J''' to access your research tree. We are going to unlock [[Automatic Mining]], but it's locked behind two other technologies. So first, research [[Basic Machines]] by clicking on it, then clicking on '''Start Research'''. Once that's complete, unlock Automation and then Automatic Mining. If the research progress stops, you've probably run out of fuel.

== Mining ==
Now we don't want to keep going out and manually mining ore - it's time to automate that. Build the following : Three [[Copper Hand Generator]]; A [[Copper Drilling Rig]]; and a [[Stone Chest]].

* Inputs are usually displayed with a '''solid outline'''
* Outputs are usually displayed with a '''dashed outline'''

However, '''heat, kinetic, and electrical outputs''' are always shown with a solid outline.
The machine tooltip clearly indicates which resources the machine accepts and which it outputs.

=== Smelting Copper ===

Finally, open the '''Stone Smelter''' using the '''Right Mouse Button''' and place the mined '''copper ore''' inside it.
Place '''Fuel''' into the '''Stone Furnace'''.

If everything is set up correctly:
* The furnace will light up with a fire animation
* Molten metal will flow inside the smelter
* The smelter recipe progress bar will begin to fill

Once the progress bar is complete, you will receive the final product — a [[Copper Plate]].

== Researching new machines ==
Before we look at the research tree, we need to do some preparation. You will need 16 copper plate, so pick that up from the smelter.

Create one of each of the following : Stone furnace; Copper Sterling Engine; Copper Compact Generator; Copper Computer. We are going to assemble these items to create '''Research Points''' so that we can unlock new machines.

Put down the Furnace. On top, put down the Engine (connecting the red circles). The engine has a dotted Yellow circle, as it coverts heat into motion (i.e. Kinetic energy). Connect the yellow side of the Generator to the engine. This has a dotted Blue circle, as it converts Kinetic energy into Electricity. Finally connect the Computer.

Now fuel the new furnace, and we're ready to do some Research.

Press '''J''' to access your research tree. We are going to unlock [[Automatic Mining]], but it's locked behind two other technologies. So first, research [[Basic Machines]] by clicking on it, then clicking on '''Start Research'''. Once that's complete, unlock Automation and then Automatic Mining. If the research progress stops, you've probably run out of fuel.

== Mining ==
Now we don't want to keep going out and manually mining ore - it's time to automate that. Build the following : Three [[Copper Hand Generator]]; A [[Copper Drilling Rig]]; and a [[Stone Chest]].

Next we want to find a place to drill for Chalcopyrite. Press M to open your [[Interface#Map_%26_World_Generation|Map]]. If the ore names are not shown, use the Options button, and select Ore Names. Find the nearest Chalcopyrite Ore to your home and walk over there.

Select the Drilling Rig from your inventory, but don't put it down just yet. Check the text at the top of the screen to make sure that you are over the Chalcopyrite deposit. Next, select your Basic Platform blocks and build a 6x6 platform. You can '''Drag''' to build an area or a line of blocks. You could build directly on the ground, but it's easier to keep things tidy on platforms. If there's any dirt on top of the platform, the multitool can remove it. Now place your drilling rig, checking that it's going to mine the correct ore.

On the back of the rig, there are 3 Kinetic inputs. Attach your hand generators to these (match the circles using R to rotate) and once placed, use Left Clicks to wind them up.

On the other side of the rig, there's a square output port. Put your Chest right in front of it, touching the rig. Now the rig will happy mine ore for you while you are away doing other things.

== Next Steps (Homework) ==
Here's some ideas that you might want to do to move forward.

* Feed and Empty your copper smelter. Use a [[Chest]] and a [[Robot Arm]] to feed ore into the smelter and take out copper plates. Use [[Conveyor]]<nowiki/>s to move items from place to place.
* Replace the drilling rig hand generators with sterling engines. You'll need a fuel source (An [[Atmospheric Condenser]] to feed water into an [[Automatic Farm]] to feed wood into a [[Furnace]])
* Make copper more efficient. Middle Mouse click on some Chalcopyrite ore. To the right is a series of machines that prosses the ore into different forms. Multiple plates can be made from a single ore.
* Build one of every Copper object. Understand what they do, and how they might fit into production lines. Middle Clicking on a machine will tell you how it's made and what it can do.
* Move from Copper into Steel. As you move up the resource tree, your machines will become faster, but need more energy.

Abdya: /* Smelting Copper */

This article covers the very first steps of progression, explaining how resource extraction and machines work, and how to build a small starter factory.
New players are also encouraged to familiarize themselves with the [[Interface]] article.

__TOC__

== Manual Resource Collection ==

This section explains how to manually gather the resources required for early progression.

=== Finding Your Way ===

During the early game, you will need to collect several resources manually.

To avoid getting lost, use the map by pressing '''M'''.
If you do lose your way, press '''Escape''' and select '''Teleport to Home'''.
This will instantly return you to the [[Spawner]] on your starting platform.

=== Collecting Copper Ore ===

First, collect at least '''50 units of copper ore'''.

Both [[Malachite Ore|Malachite]] and [[Chalcopyrite Ore|Chalcopyrite]] can be used, as they contain copper.
These resources can be found in several forms:
* Resource clusters, visible on the map and on the compass
* Surface deposits directly in the terrain

Malachite surface deposits are '''green''', while Chalcopyrite deposits are '''reddish-orange'''.

Both clusters and deposits can be mined using the [[Multitool]].
However:
* Ore clusters never deplete when mined manually
* Surface deposits are depleted when you dig them up

=== Collecting Fuel ===

Next, collect '''30 units of any fuel'''.

The best fuel options at the start of the game are:
* [[Logs]] — obtained by cutting down trees
* [[Coal Ore|Coal]] — mined from clusters or surface deposits, similar to ores

=== Returning to Base ===

After collecting the required resources, return to your base manually or by using '''Teleport to Home'''.

You are now ready to begin building your first machines.

== Smelting Copper ==

This section explains how to smelt copper and produce your first metal plates.

=== Preparing Stone ===

At the start of the game, you have access to '''99 units of stone''', which is sufficient for early progression.

If you need more stone, you can:
* Mine stone rocks scattered across the world
* Dig underground until you reach the stone layer

Note that the [[Building Material]] recipe requires '''white stone'''.
Red or dark stone variants cannot be used for this recipe.

=== Crafting the Furnace and Smelter ===

Return to your base and open the Inventory by pressing '''E'''.
In the '''Catalog''', select the '''Unlocked''' tab.

In the '''Stone''' category, craft the following machines by clicking on them with the '''Left Mouse Button''':
* [[Stone Furnace]]
* [[Stone Smelter]]

Crafting progress is displayed in the lower-left corner of the screen.
By clicking on an item currently being crafted, you can cancel its production.

=== Placing the Furnace ===

Select the '''Stone Furnace''' in your Inventory and close the Inventory.

You will see a placement preview of the furnace.
To rotate the preview, press '''R'''.

Choose a location on your platform and place the furnace using the '''Left Mouse Button'''.
If you are not satisfied with the placement, you can always remove the machine using the Multitool.

Notice the '''red circle''' on top of the furnace — this is its '''heat output'''.

=== Connecting the Smelter ===

[[File:First_Steps_PlacingFurnace.png|right|thumb|Working Furnace & Smelter]]
Next, select the '''Stone Smelter''' in your Inventory and place it directly on top of the furnace.
This connects the heat output of the furnace to the heat input of the smelter.

The furnace will now supply heat, allowing the smelter to operate.

Игрок может создавать любой доступный предмет в Каталоге. Если каких-либо компонентов недостаточно, крафт автоматически использует из инвентаря необходимые простые ресурсы для создания более сложных.

Предметы, находящиеся в очереди на крафт игроком, добавляются в очередь и быстро создаются.

Имейте в виду, что не все рецепты, создаваемые вручную, эффективны. Особенно это заметно на рецептах микросхем. Рекомендуется создавать микросхемы по частям, используя [[Assembler|Сборщик]], а не вручную.

Чтобы отменить предмет в очереди крафта, нажмите на него. При наведении курсора на предмет красная рамка указывает, что щелчок отменит заказ. Все неиспользованные ресурсы будут возвращены в том же виде, в каком они были израсходованы при размещении заказа на крафт.

== Машины ==
Это основные блоки автоматизации, которые выполняют внутриигровые рецепты без вмешательства игрока. Для работы машине нужны:

1. Действительный рецепт (автоматический или выбранный вручную).

2. Необходимые входные предметы или жидкости.

3. Обеспечение необходимым [[Resource|ресурсом]] (например, электричеством или теплом).

4. Свободное место в выходном слоте для итогового продукта.

Если все условия соблюдены, машина начнет работать непрерывно, обрабатывая рецепт до тех пор, пока одно из требований не перестанет выполняться.
