Overview

Construction Work

The Omni-Printer, the lobby where all of the out-game loop takes place starts as a run down station.

The Player can build and improve various modules to get access to extra features like workshops to upgrade weapons, additional storage or social features.

⁠

Unlocking Modules

Before beginning the Building Process, the Players need to unlock Modules first.

Modules can be unlocked by:

Completing Quests

Buying them from Merchants

Reaching Milestones

Loot Collected

Player Level

Missions Completed

Looting them

⁠

Building Process

After being unlocked, Modules can be installed in the Omni-Printer.

Each Module type has a maximum amount of Modules able to be installed.

To be built, a Module needs an investment in resources and/or items.

After that, a timer starts and the Building Process of that Module is over when the remaining time has reached 0.

That time is elapsed in Mission Time.

Terminal Upgrades

At the heart of the Omni-Printer is... a 3D-printer.
