 A workbench equipped for creating art.  Refines biological matter like wood or plant matter into chemfuel.  A work station with all the equipment needed to mix wort for beer production. Wort must be fermented to finally become beer.  A place for butchering animals. Due to the lack of equipment, butchering here yields only 70% of the meat and leather of each creature.  A heavy table for butchering dead creatures into pieces of raw meat.  Cooks meals and produces heat, and burns out after a few days. As with all heat sources, it must be placed indoors so it has a closed space to heat. Refuelable.  A place for crafting simple items like knives or bows. Production here is slow because of the lack of tools.  A deep-crust drilling rig for extracting minerals from deep under the surface. Use a ground-penetrating scanner to detect the resources. This drill will yield stone chunks if no resources are present. Can be repositioned freely.  A work bench equipped with containers, heaters, and measurement devices for producing various drugs.  A huge stone crematorium which vaporizes corpses with extremely high temperatures.  Extracts usable metal from slag chunks and other mixed metal items. Consumes a lot of power.

Slowly generates chemfuel by a complex series of chemical reactions, using atoms extracted from the air.  A work station for assembling machinery like guns and ammunition, or breaking down dead mechanoids.  A machine that synthesizes edible nutrient paste from organic feedstocks placed in adjacent hoppers. It consumes less ingredients and time than any other meal production method - but nobody likes eating nutrient paste. Accepts raw food, but not rough plant matter like hay.  A simple bench with writing implements and simple measurement devices. Researchers work here to discover new things.  A work table with saws and chisels for cutting stone chunks into usable blocks.  An industrial lamp which lights an area brightly enough to grow crops, but consumes a huge amount of power. Automatically turns itself off at night. |

 A waist-high barrier for use as cover from incoming shots. Barricades are ugly, but provide better cover than other low objects. Barricades will block certain kinds of animals the same way that fences do.  A self-powered defense turret mounted with a weak but long-ranged slug-thrower. May explode when damaged.  A portable automatic turret. Requires steel to refurbish its barrel after heavy use. May explode when damaged. Its dumb AI brain can't be directly controlled, so beware of friendly fire.  Bags of locally-sourced dirt or sand, stacked for use as cover. Sandbags are ugly, but provide better cover than other low objects.  A self-powered, self-loading, automatic mortar. It can hit targets at any distance, over walls, but is quite inaccurate.  Five spikes under tension, connected to a touch-activated trigger. When the victim disturbs the trigger, the spikes spring forth and strike the victim. Since it is hidden in the surrounding terrain, it cannot be placed adjacent to other traps. Animals can sense these when calm.  An activatable turret for extinguishing fires. The turret stands idle until someone approaches and activates it, after which it will automatically spray large amounts of firefoam on any flames in sight.  A self-powered turret mounted with a charge blaster. It cannot sense targets at very short ranges.  A manned mortar that launches all kinds of shells.

Animals can sense these when calm.  An emergency-defense launcher that fires a single barrage of rockets covering a large area. The turret does not fire until someone activates it. It is very effective against large groups of weaker combatants, but less effective against small numbers of armored targets. Once fired, it must cool off for hours and be reloaded to fire again.  An antimatter-powered antigrain warhead connected to a trigger which detonates on touch or bullet impact. Since it is hidden in the surrounding terrain, it cannot be placed adjacent to other traps. Animals can sense these when calm.  A heavy automatic turret. Its large-caliber shells do heavy damage over significant ranges, but its barrel must be refurbished after use. It cannot fire at close-up targets, and may explode when damaged.  An armor-piercing turret. Its ultra-dense uranium shells can punch through heavy armor, but it requires new uranium slugs to be loaded after use. It's more accurate at longer ranges, and can't fire at all close up.

 This cryptosleep casket looks like it has been here for a very long time. Who knows what it might contain?  The central core of an archonexus. Its broad surfaces are perfectly clean, and they somehow appear both flat and curved at the same time.  A moderately-sized archotech tower rising from the ground. Traces along its surface glow steadily with a strange color. Humans can only begin to guess at its purpose.  Designates a spot for hitching animals and forming caravans. Colonist will hitch animals here while loading a caravan. You can also use these during encounters away from home to keep animals from wandering.  An ultratech device for controlling climate.

A massive electromagnetic interference generator. It interferes with or shuts down electrical devices in nearby regions.  A box with soft material made to hold eggs. Egg-laying animals will lay eggs in egg boxes if they can. Your haulers will take all the eggs out only when the box is full, to save time. The box also protects eggs from deteriorating outdoors, though it does not protect from temperature damage.  When it detects fire, this safety device pops and sprays a fire-retardant foam in a circular field around itself. Can also be triggered manually.  The result of the merging of several Gaumaker dryads, this symbiotic plant/animal pod is an essential part of the Gauranlen life cycle. After some time, it will flower into a mature Gauranlen pod which can be harvested to plant a new Gauranlen tree.  A grand platform that plays a role in ideoligious rituals.  A grand archotech structure of towering height and impressive bulk. The shape is hard to perceive, and the surfaces seem to flow when stared at too long. It could have appeared moments ago, or been here thousands of years. It emanates intense psychic influence, forcing thoughts and perceptions directly into the mind of anyone who ventures too close. The emanations are not aggressive, but they are utterly alien and impossible to ignore. Sensations unlinked from time or space, the endless rumination of an inhuman mind a billion times larger - the weak-minded lose themselves quickly under. Only the psychically-deaf are immune.  A towering slab with extensive engravings on the sides. Steles have been used since ancient times to memorialize individuals, battles, and other important events.  A decent final resting place. Colonists will visit full graves to gain meditative joy.  A sensor unit used by researchers to search for buried resources. The chance to find a resource depends on the operator's research ability.

This sensor can be tuned to target a specific resource type. It consumes a lot of electricity. If you find a resource, you'll need to travel to collect it.  A large archotech structure. The dull green surface is utterly pristine and undamaged, and so smooth that it's slippery. There is no way to guess how long it has been here, and its purpose seems unfathomable. The psychic power it emanates isn't aggressive, but it is overwhelming and inhuman. Like standing inside a threshing machine of whirling blades, inside the heartbeat of a sleeping giant, inside a tight tunnel and you can't move or speak or breathe... Anyone who goes near it will become unsettled unless they are psychically deaf.  Designates a spot where marriage ceremonies will take place. Spectators can watch from either side.  Designates a spot for meditation. Psycasters can meditate here to gain psyfocus. If a focus object like a sculpture is nearby, the psycaster will be able to focus on it to boost their psyfocus gain.

You can only sell goods to orbital traders if they're near an orbital trade beacon. Can be placed indoors.  Designates a spot for throwing parties.  A post with a sign designating an animal pen. It must be placed in an area enclosed by fences, barricades, walls, and doors. You can assign each pen marker a set of animals to accept, and handlers will bring animals to an appropriate pen.  A fueling port for launching one transport pod. Pod launchers can launch as a group - but the launchers must be placed adjacent to each other.  An archotech device transmitting the thoughts of a mad superintelligence. It generates a massive psychic drone tuned to one gender and affecting a whole region of the planet. People of that gender will be disturbed by the effect, reducing their mood and possibly driving them insane. The effect is modulated by an individual's psychic sensitivity.  An ornamented burial receptacle for the honored dead.  Marks the corner of a landing area. Four of these placed at the corners of a clear area (minimum 9x9) create a landing pad. Spacecraft usually land on pads if possible.  A spacer-tech shuttle designed for transit between surface and orbit, or between moons of a planetary system.  A small platform that plays a role in ideoligious rituals.  An ultratech weapon of mass destruction designed for area denial. By harvesting available compounds and converting them into self-reproducing opaque molecules, it can spew enough smoke to block the sun in a whole region of the planet.  An ancient ultratech spacedrone.  An ultratech machine that generates a sheet of exotic fields at high altitude, turning the sky opaque and blocking the sun.  Increases work speed when placed near a workbench. One workbench can use up to two tool cabinets.  An ultratech weapon of mass destruction designed for area denial.

Switches power on/off.  Produces electricity from sunlight. Does not work in the dark or under artificial light.  This electrical generator very slowly pollutes the terrain in a radius around it while producing energy. If all terrain in the radius is polluted, the generator will shut down.  A mechanoid power generation unit. The vanometric power core will run forever, extracting energy from quantum foam fluctuations. An internal amplifier system makes it unstable. If damaged, the unit will generate a massive explosion. Some brave humans steal these from mechanoids for their own use as power plants or defensive bombs. However, an unintentional detonation can be devastating.  Generates free energy, forever, without using fuel. This technology is developed by archotechs, and is beyond even most glitterworld societies. While nobody knows exactly how it works, scholars believe it somehow extracts energy directly from fluctuations in the quantum foam.  Produces electricity from a river. Must be placed with its wheel in moving water. If watermills are placed too close together, the turbulence they generate will interfere and reduce power generation.
