Manufacturer

The Manufacturer is a building used to automate the production of three or four-ingredient items.

Trivia

 * The Manufacturer appears to be constructing a Quantum Computer, regardless of the actual recipe it is processing. It is, therefore, the only building where an actual in-game item appears to be constructed (both the Constructor and Assembler appear to construct non-existent parts seemingly out of iron).
 * Unlike the Constructor and Assembler, the Manufacturer's crafting animation always plays at the same speed, rather than going faster or slower to keep pace with actual production.
 * If a Manufacturer is repainted, the Quantum Computers it appears to be manufacturing will share its new color scheme.
 * Despite the new model being about 13 meters tall, its construction hitbox is only eight meters tall.
 * The Manufacturer is the only production machine which has the inputs on the front. All other machines hav the input on the back.
 * In Patch 0.2.1.19, when the Manufacturer's model got updated, the back and front ends were swapped. This resulted in all existing Manufacturers in an updated save being reversed.

History

 * Patch 0.3: Updated sounds and build cost
 * Patch 0.2.1.19: Model, sounds and animations updated, its hitbox however remained the same despite the new model being taller
 * Patch 0.1.11:
 * Changed build cost from 2 Heavy Modular Frame, 2 Motor, and 3 Computer to 5 Heavy Modular Frame, 5 Motor, and 5 Computer
 * Changed length and width from 20 x 22 m to 18 x 19 m
