Click on the area near the top of the DNA Manipulator to see recipes for different tree seeds.
Click on the area near the bottom to insert ingredients and start creating the item.

The planet crafter who I thought was me is a machine that I've just unlocked and placed in my base.

Actually it's the auto crafter- do you place it next to particular storage boxes?

The 'Auto-crafter' just has to be within range of the resources that you want for the craft it's configured for.

You can see a list of the storages that it can access, it's something like 50 yds range.

A lot of the things you can craft are needed by other crafts, and you can literally craft all items in 1 place with ~20 auto-crafters.

You just need to make sure that you've got about 60 storage lockers to cover all of the raw materials that they'll need, and of course be within range, if you choose to do this of course.

I can craft almost all items with only 2 autocrafters in the middle of my storage areas in my base.

I placed my food storage on floor above 1 of my autocrafters, so your autocrafter can also access lockers on other floors if they are within range.

Some players have lots of autocrafters. Each autocrafter produces a specific item continuously. They aim to automate production of every item.

Automation definitely helps a lot after the update, as the Trader is a bottomless pit you can never fill.

you can place a lonely autocrafter away from your base with lockers for each item it needs for producing. supply the lockers with the ressources using drones. set the autocrafter to "supply" it's produce to make drones take em away, set a locker in your base to "demand" that product.

But I'm not at the drone stage yet?

You can also just drop the stuff in the chests, the autocrafter will pull from them. It's just easier once you get the drones unlocked and get a few made.

well, then supply the lockers by foot... it would be one run per ingredient.
keep the autocrafter ~100m away from the storing lockers in your base to let the autocrafter leave them alone.
after a while the AC has produced 7 products and is full, then you can fetch them.

most important in my eyes: take it easy.
no need to overplan an arrangement of 20 autocrafters if you don't really want it.

my first autocrafter was for Superalloy. I put it in an extra compartment away from the base with six lockers around it.
