Construction, also called crafting or building, allows players to construct all sorts of items, including walls, furniture, clothing, weapons, flooring, and, more, provided they have the necessary materials and tools.

Construction system

The in-game construction interface

By default, the construction window is opened by pressing Template:Key press or clicking the interface button with the hammer, on the top of the screen. On the left of this window there's a list of items, which can be filtered with the search bar and the expandable list beside it to make it easier to find the desired item. When one of these items is clicked, the right side of the window will show its details, including its appearance, name, description, and the steps needed to build it.

On the bottom of the window, there is a Craft or Place construction ghost button, which alternates depending on whether the selected item is an inventory item (like weapons, clothing, and floor tiles) or is placed in the world (like furniture, piping, and walls).

Clicking the Craft button while holding the necessary materials anywhere in the player's inventory, including a bag, or nearby on the floor will use the materials to craft the selected item and place it in their active hand. If they already have a stack of that item in their hands, it'll go there instead. If the player has their hands full, the item will be placed on the floor, regardless of whether they have free space in their bag or not.

If the player clicks on the Place construction ghost button, their cursor will show a green translucent version of the selected item; this is a construction ghost waiting to be placed. Left-clicking anywhere in the world will place a construction ghost, which is how the player chooses where they want to build their selected item. The ghost can be rotated with middle click and placement of the ghost is cancelled by right-clicking or pressing Template:Key press. Placed construction ghosts can be removed by clicking Eraser Mode and then clicking on a ghost or by clicking Clear All, which removes all placed ghosts. Right-clicking a construction ghost shows the player the next step to continue building the item.

Not every item can be crafted from the construction menu. Some items can only be crafted at machines like autolathes or medical techfabs, while others need intermediate items, like computers that need frames to add their respective circuit board to.

Grids and floors

Floor tiles are unique in how they act, in that they can be crafted like any other object but not placed without preparation. In order to place a tile, lattice needs to be placed first, done by taken metal rods and left-clicking on an empty space. Next, a steel sheet is placed down to create plating, which seals the holes in the lattice. This works as flooring as-is but tile can be placed atop it for decoration. If the lattice is placed without any adjacent floor tile to it, it'll create a new "grid" (meaning it'll create a new structure unconnected to anything else), while placing lattice next to existing flooring will just extend the grid.

Deconstruction

Deconstruction is the act of taking apart an object down to its raw components. Deconstruction often causes a loss of monetary value. Different objects are deconstructed in different ways; players can get instructions for how to deconstruct any given object by right-clicking it and then selecting "Begin Deconstruction". Afterwards, the object will have the next step of deconstruction when examined. Clicking on "Begin Deconstruction" isn't a prerequisite for actually beginning to deconstruct an object, players can simply begin deconstructing objects if they know the steps by memory.

Players should not default to deconstructing objects as a way of getting rid of obstacles. Most furniture items and machines can be pulled aside if they're in the way, they just need to be unanchored first by using a wrench. Even walls can be pulled away like this, though they do need to be partially deconstructed.
