{{:Infobox:Blueprint book}}

The '''blueprint book''' is an item that can be used to store [[Blueprint]]s easily, taking up only one inventory space. Blueprints can be used directly from the book item, and the currently active blueprint can be changed with {{Keybinding|shift|mwu}} and {{Keybinding|shift|mwd}}. Multiple books can be held on one player, and can be named. A blueprint book can be created by clicking the ( [[File:blueprint_book_button.png|20px]] ) button in the [[shortcut bar]].

[[File:Blueprint_book_ui.png|thumb|none|400px|Blueprint book GUI.]]

Shown above is the blueprint book GUI, which can be opened by right clicking the book in the inventory/toolbar. The name of the book can be set with the button next to the label, the red trashcan button allows to delete the blueprint book and the button next to it allows to export the blueprint book by converting it to a string.

== History ==
{{history|0.15.3|
* Blueprint books can be destroyed by clicking the trash can icon in the GUI. }}

{{history|0.15.0|
* Increased blueprint book size to hold 1000 blueprints.
* Blueprints, blueprint books and deconstruction planners are obtainable from the library GUI with no crafting cost.}}

Follower robot count (research)

{{:Infobox:Follower robot count (research)}}

'''Follower robot count (research)''' increases the maximum number of follower robots that can follow the player at any point in time. This limit counts for [[Defender capsule|Defenders]] and [[Destroyer capsule|Destroyers]]; [[Distractor capsule|Distractors]] do not count against the follower limit.

''Remember that the cumulative effect starts with 5 due to researching [[Combat robotics (research)|combat robotics]] giving 1 to max followers.''

Energy shield

2019-05-13T23:46:37Z

Shawn1368:

{{Languages}}
{{:Infobox:Energy shield}}
The '''energy shield''' generates a basic protective shield that can absorb a small amount of [[damage]].

[[Equipment modules]] can be used by placing them in the grid that opens by right clicking the armor.

The shield is effectively an extension of HP and has to be brought to 0 for the character to suffer any actual HP damage. Like actual HP, it benefits from the damage reduction attributes of its armor. All damage is split equally between shields, allowing all shields to recharge simultaneously. Energy shields are largely obsoleted by the [[Energy shield MK2]], which offers a vastly increased HP buffer at the cost of demanding more energy per HP.

A shield's maximum recharge rate is based on its energy draw divided by the energy cost per shield point. At 240kW costing 20KJ per shield point, the energy shield MK1 recharges 12 HP per second and takes 4 seconds to recharge from 0 to 50HP. The overall energy demand is extremely high and will stress the suit's [[Portable_solar_panel|solar panels]] and [[Portable_fusion_reactor|fusion reactor]], so use [[Modular_armor#Equipment|batteries]] to maintain your shields under fire.

Mk1 shields have an internal energy buffer of 120kJ, which effectively provide an additional hidden 6HP of shielding and add an extra .5 seconds to fully recharge.

Electric furnace

{{Languages}}
{{:Infobox:Electric furnace}}

The '''electric furnace''' is the third and last tier of furnace. As its name implies, it uses [[electric system|electricity]] rather than [[fuel]] to operate, removing the need for a fuel belt.

The electric furnace smelts items at the same speed as a [[steel furnace]], and also has two slots for [[module|modules]]. However, it is slightly larger than the other two tiers of furnaces; it occupies a 3×3 area instead of a 2×2 area.

Oil refinery

2019-05-12T09:48:42Z

Shawn1368:

{{Languages}}
{{:Infobox:Oil refinery}}

The '''Oil Refinery''' processes [[crude oil]] into 3 different fluids: [[heavy oil]], [[light oil]] and [[petroleum gas]].

Oil products have many uses. Although they can be turned into [[solid fuel]] to fuel [[boiler]]s and furnaces, they are usually used to create [[plastic bar]]s, which are used in [[advanced circuit]]s, and [[sulfur]], which is used in more advanced items. They are also used as ammunition for [[flamethrower]]s and [[flamethrower turret]]s.

== Recipes ==

The refinery has three available recipes, out of which one must be set before it can begin processing.

{|class="wikitable"

|-
|}

== Notes ==
* When placing the refinery, it can be rotated, but otherwise neither input nor output tiles can be swapped in any way. (For advanced oil processing, the water input is to the right when the inputs are coming into the top.)

== Troubleshooting ==

When the refinery is working, a flame comes out of the chimney.

* You need to choose the recipe, otherwise it won't work.
* It will stop working if any of the products are not properly drained from it (that is, 100.0 heavy oil at output will prevent production of the 2 other fluids).

== History ==

{{history|0.15.0|
* Module slots increased from 2 to 3.}}

{{history|0.11.6|
* Now disconnects from pipes when recipe is reset.}}

{{history|0.9.1|
