Assembly station

[Ragathol]

This is pretty awkward, since it should be the basics of basics, but... How do I actually construct/collect things built at the assembly station? I've put in all the parts for the first recycler, but I can't seem to finish it? Checking the control panel only gives me the option to take the parts back.

Well, you use the Little Panel to bring up your Handbook and select a Device to build.

That SHOULD place a White outline on the Platform. Then you approach that and PLACE the items required. You don't have to have them in inventory but they will show red if you don't have the required material or ammount. You can use the R key to Cycle through the different materials incase you don't have the objects it asks for.

Once you place all the pieces, it should be solid and allow you to Pick it up.

Edit: Note that you might get a weird glitch where you try to select a recipie you have but it won't open to the page. Try manually going to the Page (Page turn, I forget the key). If it won't allow you to hit assemble then it might need you to renable Tutorials in settings and then try again. You can disable Tutorials afterwards if this is the cause.

Yes, I have selected the recipe and placed the parts - it's solid, but I can't pick it up and it doesn't count as done for the mission. I've tried removing the parts and putting them in again several times. Guess it's some bug, then.

Alright, when I started the game back up again, it had solved itself. Thanks anyway!

Cool. Only other idea I had was to select something else to build but then retract it and try again.

I quick saved, went back to main menu, loaded back the quick save file, and then I was able to pick it up. Thanks for this post. Was about to refund. Least people will know when it happens they can either quit the game or log off to main menu.

The game only recently hit 1.0 so there's bound to be little quirks and bugs (like the machines being dusty even after cleaning them). They'll get patched.

From what I remember, MTAP also had little quirks like this that eventually got ironed out.

I had this problem today. Saving, quitting to the main menu and then selecting Continue solved my problem too. I was then able to pick up the item.
