=== Upgrading Machines ===

All machines are composed of components. There are better versions of many components, attained through research. They are organized in 4 tiers, and upgrading the tier of a machine's components will have different effects for each machine.

Without minerals, you can achieve up to tier 2-3; to go further you'll require ores for production.

Once you unlock advanced components, people around the station will probably want you to upgrade the machinery. The process is simple.

# Screwdriver on the machine.
# Crowbar on the machine.
# Take the board and re-insert it into machine.
# Insert parts you want to use.
# Screwdriver.

[[File:RPED.gif]] Alternately, you can use '''RPED (Rapid Part Exchange Device)''':

# Load RPED with parts.
# Screwdriver on the machine.
# Click on it with RPED.
# Screwdriver again.

[[Guide_to_advanced_construction|Here you can see how the specific machines will benefit from parts.]]
