Autolathe

Not to be confused with the Protolathe. An autolathe is a fabricator of the not-so-fancy, but still necessary basic tools and materials. It must be filled with a certain amount of metal or glass before being able to create these items, and it can also break down these items into glass and metal if needed. To feed items into the autolathe click on it with the item.

An autolathe can usually be found in the Cargo Office, and in some maps just outside of the R&D Lab.

It can be hacked to create more items, or simply cease to function.

You can construct your very own autolathe as well.
