Fabricators

Fabricators are a group of production blocks that are manufactured by each corporation. They are used to craft blocks from a specific corporation that the specific Fabricator corresponds to, using resource chunks, or components.

Fabricators allow the player to discover and acquire blocks more reliably than buying them from Trading Stations, though much slower due to the time that one may potentially spend gathering the ingredients. As a production block, they have their own anchor, and must be attached to an anchored tech for it to work. Also, since most blocks require components to produce and there might be a lot of resources to sort out, silos and the Component Factories should be paired with them. One advantage that Fabricators offer is that undiscovered blocks may be fabricated (the fabricator will show the recipe normally), which is otherwise unavailable anywhere else save for enemy techs, with a potentially low chance.
