The supplied guides describe a workshop progression loop built around researching machine prototypes with Data Discs, receiving blueprints, and then constructing or upgrading production machines. Named machine families include furnaces, grinders, processors, and recyclers; higher-level machines can retain earlier production and add components. The passages also describe three Workshop Knowledge choices: Water Conservation, Bag, and Learner. Their stated effects concern machine water use, Dew Collector efficiency, bag capacity, and Assembly Station experience. This reference records those documented functions and constraints without inferring costs, optimal priorities, or broader effects beyond the source passages.
A factual reference to machine research, construction and upgrades, named machine outputs, and three Workshop Knowledge skills. It does not cover combat equipment or establish comparative effectiveness. Machine recipes and effects are reported only where the supplied passages provide details.
Sources support workshop machines and knowledge skills; they do not provide enough described equipment or combat-skill choices for records in those areas.
The machine output tables provide named products and materials but omit many upgrade research and construction costs; no missing values are inferred.
The sources do not establish sequel, edition, or DLC distinctions, and this reference does not independently verify patch-specific behavior.
No comparative effectiveness, ranking, current meta, or optimization claim is made.
Explanations prepared with GPT-6 Luna and checked against the linked references. These are source-reviewed guides. They do not establish independently tested optimal builds or exact upgrade budgets. How coverage works.
