Exosuit Fabricator Found in: Robotics Used for: Manufacturing parts for use in robotics. Strategy: Load it with materials and pick the items you want to make. Use the "add to queue" function to build multiple things in a row. Description Creates cyborg or mech parts from materials. Can be synchronized with the R&D research levels for new cyborg/mech components. They cannot be hacked and require robotics access to operate. If upgraded with better components, the Exosuit Fabricator will construct parts more quickly and efficiently. Manufacturing list can be found here. Guide to building an Exosuit Fabricator.

Tank Transfer Valve Found in: Toxins Lab Used for: Making bombs Strategy: Guide to toxins Description Should not be confused with manual valves, even though they look (almost) totally the same. This is the central part of a Toxins bomb: to use it, load it with two gas tanks and a trigger (which can be, for example, a signaller or a voice analyzer). When the trigger is activated, the two gas tanks will mix, usually creating a large explosion if loaded with the right mix. To remove gas tanks or the trigger from it, use it in your hand; it's important to do it when you want to disarm it. Additional Tank Transfer Valves can be ordered from Cargo. A finished bomb:
