Note: The Fabricator was removed from the survival mode in version 0.2.2479.11384. Available in Creative Mode only via the spawn menu ('/' key by default).

The Fabricator is an advanced machine used to manufacture most of the craftable items in the game. It largely fills the role of the Autolathe, Electronics Printer, Hydraulic Pipe Bender, Tool Manufactory and Security Printer.

However at current version one can not search a recipe like other dedicated printers, making it less convenient.

It also manufactures certain items slower then the dedicated printers. For example, it's much faster to print a cable coil using electronics printer than using a fabricator.

Usage

In order to use the fabricator, you will need to set up a Computer with a Motherboard (Manufacturing) and connect it to the fabricator's data port. You can then use the manufacturing interface in order to request manufacturing jobs from the fabricator. You can choose the quantity of each item you want to build and set up a queue of items to be manufactured. If the fabricator is unable to finish an item, it will idle until it is able to continue (materials are added or power is resumed).

Bugs

• If the Fabricator is deconstructed while fabricating an item, the complete [glowing!] item will be left behind along with any other reagents in the Fabricator.
• If the Fabricator is opened while fabricating an item (paused and unpaused), it will not drop any reagents it holds.
