Pixel Printer?

[Several Confused Crows]

So I remember in the Glad Giraffe SAIL had the 3D printer built into its system. You where able to scan items in the 3D printer and be able to print it later. I haven't figured out how to get items for the Pixel Printer. Anyone know how?

Edit: I have tried to scan a variety of various items including: lights, furniture, beds, doors, and storage and nothing seems to be appearing.

Edit 2: it seems the 3D printer is broken as i went into admin mode to see if i can print things but everything is priced as 0 pixels

would like to know this as well. i am betting if it's not there it would be some kind of an upgrade to the ship...it would be a shame to remove the feature entirely

Pixel printer need to upgrade the Inventor table to be crafted.

And the items, you have to scan them (with the Examine mode of the Matter Manipulator - N). Once examined, the items may be available to be printed.

I have one available and i tested this out on some hylotl furniture that i had on my ship and nothing seemed to have shown up. I will try it agian to make sure though

My printer works, but I can't print alot of things I want (and have scanned)
Does anyone know what to edit to make items printable?
Like the basic oven?

I'm pretty sure the items that are resource craftable can't be printed.

Pixel Printers can be created using the third tier Inventors table.

The things you can print are drawn from the items you've scaned with your matter manipulator.

I say "drawn from" meaning, that many things that you scan will indeed show up in the list, but many will not.

None of the oven station line of items seems to show up. None of the sets I've scaned from the Frogsmart have shown up.

There are definitely things out in the world that can be used, picked up, interacted with and cannot be either crafted or printed. Which ... is annoying.

EVERYTHING should be printable. If it's supposed to be rare, then make it more expensive in terms of pixels.

There are very few items that fall into that list. I can only think of a few cooking stations, elevators, things that break when hit, and story related items.

Not everything can be crafted just by picking it up, there are a ton of biome/dungeon specific blueprints to be found in chests in their respective biome/dungeon.

"EVERYTHING should be printable. If it's supposed to be rare, then make it more expensive in terms of pixels."

I second this ^
also you should be able to throw items and blocks into it to be able to add to it's database too!
at the end of the game there should be like 5 structures you need to build everything.
This one builds with money the rest with appropriate resources
One builds all weapons and armor you "scanned" (Replicator?)
One builds all decorations and furniture
One builds all electrical and railway
one deals with all the ore processing, refining, cooking, that sort of thing

Then at the late stage of the game to move you only need to pick up those five and take them to the next location.
if the game had cargo beaming tech, you could hook two teleporters together and throw resources into them to move all the stuff! XD

Can confirm, not everything you scan you can print. So a Long time ago I just started using admin commands to spawn things in. There's a crap ton of good furniture items you can't get at all in normal gameplay. For example, all the protectorate stuff.

I believe that there is a mod that expands the list of items that a pixel printer can make.

and a dang good one at that, but really, how do you not include this in the base game XD
You should know your audience is going to have varied taste and want to print it all!
