| Components are the basic building blocks of Installations - all Installations will require at least 1 //Advanced Component// (Array), some //Basic Components//, and possibly some other items like Exotic Substances or other parts. In order to get the effect you want out of an Installation, you need to include the appropriate types of Components. This is often a matter of thinking through how the components you are using might affect the end result - so if you want to build something that does a lot of data processing you might include some **Processor Cells** or a **Computation Array**, or if you want to build something that collects things then it should probably include at least 1 **Storage** Component. | Components are the basic building blocks of Installations - all Installations will require at least 1 //Advanced Component// (Array), some //Basic Components//, and possibly some other items like Exotic Substances or other parts.

| Components can be obtained in various ways; you might find some on an abandoned outpost, or gain some as a reward for an Engineering mission, or buy some from a trader. Hiring a [[Spacer Collective]] starship to go on a Salvage Mission is also a good way to gather some Components for later use. | Components can be obtained in various ways; you might find some on an abandoned outpost, or gain some as a reward for an Engineering mission, or buy some from a trader.

| - | There are countless variations of each Component, manufactured by various groups and companies across the Orion Sphere - although small differences exist between these variants, a skilled Engineer will usually have little difficulty in calibrating and connecting then to get the job done. Component lammies should be attached to an appropriate physrep while in the In-character area - you may be able to borrow some physreps from the Game Team for the duration of the event - if so then please hand these physreps in either in your pack at the end of the event, or remove the lammie and hand in the physrep. | + | There are countless variations of each Component, manufactured by various groups and companies across the Orion Sphere - although small differences exist between these variants, a skilled Engineer will usually have little difficulty in calibrating and connecting then to get the job done.

If you are interested in making your own Component physreps, please do - there are no particular restrictions on what they should look like, other than that they should look vaguely appropriate. The OSLRP Components use this connector designed by Vicki Veck - [[https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:6746969]] - which you may wish to use if you want yours to be able to connect in to general use Components. |

| - | ===== Installations ===== | + | [{{ :items:engineering_work_e10_by_agentbsmith.jpg?400|<html><font color="black">Engineers can assemble Installations at events.</font></html>}}]===== Installations ===== |
| Installations are short-term technological assemblages which perform a specific function in their immediate area. Engineers can assemble Installations inside an appropriate container by connecting suitable Components. To create an Installation you need to first come up with a Plan, then gather the required ingredients, and finally assemble the Installation. All Installations require at least one Advanced Component (Array) and are assembled inside an Installation Box, requiring a [[card_draw_system|Card Draw Action]] by an [[professional_skills#Engineer]] (or group of Engineers). At some point, you will need to find a Referee to both explain your Plan to and also to administer the assembly of the Installation itself. | Installations are short-term technological assemblages which perform a specific function in their immediate area.

| Once you have a Plan, you should find a Referee to approve it (and also adjudicate the Assembly part). Ideally this will be a Referee already present on the Mission or job you are doing (who is more likely to have a good handle on how the Installation may influence the situation). Once you have explained your Plan to the Referee, they may approve it, deny it (usually giving an IC reason), or suggest some modification of the Parts or the Outcome that are more likely to work in the current situation. You are encouraged to integrate any additional information or requirements into your roleplay as having come from your own engineering knowledge or that of another character. | Once you have a Plan, you should find a Referee to approve it (and also adjudicate the Assembly part).
