Base building basics

This Article is about basics in base-building.

3D Printer
The 3D Printer allows you to build everything you need to build a base on mars. Before you can use it, you have to assemble it, by using the assembly tool on it, while its in your hands. It is a good idea to place it next to the place where you like to build your base. In some cases it is worthwhile to print a second Printer. To use the printer just stay near to it and press "E". Choose the needed item in the menu and click "construct". After a few seconds you can take the part out of the printer

Construction Tool
The assembly tool is used to "assemble" or create and build pretty much everything in TOM. In the scenarios, most of them give you the tool tostart off with, from there, you can use it to construct your base. The tool looks very similar to a battery powered drill. Use the 3D Printer to create an object and then grab that object and hold it near the place you want to build it; then press "Q" or the key bind corresponding to the equip function and then when the GUI pops up saying "Assemble" with a preview of what it will look like, click left mouse button to build.
