Production Structures

Fabricator

The Fabricator is a structure that can be built on any built foundation of any size in the

Home Land⁠

or a

Premium Land⁠

. It is one of the three core

Production Structures⁠

that directly feeds into the resource and crafting game loop by turning

Refined Resources⁠

into

Components⁠

. In order to build a Fabricator, you need to pay some $AGEM and resources. The cost can vary based on the foundation size.

⁠

Functionality

The Fabricator plays an essential role in the resource and crafting game loop. It turns all the

Resources⁠

excavated via the

Extractor⁠

and refined resources from the

Refinery⁠

into Components. The process to turn resources into Components works similar to the Extractor and Refinery, but can only function if you have the required resources in your inventory.

If you have the minimal amount of resources required to use the Fabricator, you select your

Workers⁠

just like with the other

Production Structures⁠

and check the time, cost, and output of the process. When you confirm your selection, the fabrication of the Component starts, and at the end of the timer, you get the Component.

Components are primarily used for crafting in the

Craft Station⁠

Weekly Deals⁠

, as well as future crafting structures that will be added to the

Production Structures⁠

Just like the Refinery, a Fabricator does not require any resources to be available in the foundation. This makes it an excellent structure to build on foundations without any resources available.

Components

⁠

Components⁠

are essential items in the later stages of gameplay in Ascenders: Simulation. They are made by using the Fabricator structure to convert refined resources into Components. Because they are used for SFT crafting and the

Weekly Deals⁠

, they can directly feed into progress and boosts the player can use to grow their enterprise even further. They don’t have a listed rarity, but since the cost of getting all the materials necessary to make them is in part the sum of all its previous parts, it makes them one of the most valuable items currently in the game.

There is no city restriction on Components, but it is significantly harder to get the city-exclusive

Resources⁠

summed up to a point to make Components out of, making the Components that are made out of

Refined Resources⁠

that are refined from city-exclusive raw resource some of the most valuable trading items on the market.

Later features that will be added to Ascenders: Simulation will add more uses for Components, especially in the resource and crafting game loop. The exact details are still unknown, but they will contribute to the next step in the growth of your enterprise.
