ZG CFS Converter

Simple tech to convert your Compressed Resource Blocks into the GSO variety, for use in other CFS (Compressed Fabrication System) techs.

► Licences: GSO 3 and level 3 of any other corporation whose scrapper you have attached - remove blocks you don't have when re-snapshotting in Creative mode.

► Links:

• Ideal for making refill 'cartridges' for the "ZG CFS Perhonen".
• This tech is part of my "Complete Crafting Guide", here on Steam (section 11). Much more info on crafting and it's bugs, there.
• Fully automatic conversion with this scrapper base.

► Instructions:

• Set Pacemaker to "Turbo".
• Start scrapping Compressed Blocks of one resource type (only), from the various corporations.
• Set one Fabricator to start making Compressed Blocks of that type, on repeat if you have a lot to convert. Use both Fabricators if you have very many to convert.
• Beware of running out of resource chunks half way through Fabricating, as consumed chunks will be lost when switching! You can flush through a half-made block by scrapping another one (by attaching a GSO scrapper).
• Two different resources can be converted at once, if you like.
• Remove the SCU if it gets in your way, or you struggle to manually insert the blocks to be scrapped.
• Use the Filter to sell of any loose change resources left over.
• Do not scrap non-resource blocks. (There will be a better tech for that.)

• Load in multiple copies of this tech to convert in parallel (but spaced apart so they can't steal each other's blocks, if there's no SCU).
• Switch out which Corp's Scrappers are attached, as needed. Fabricators too.
• Build in shields, batteries, etc, as you see fit.
• Conveyors are only there to prevent the bug where Resource Chunks are drop when exiting a Scrapper directly to the top of a full Silo.

► Campaign loading:

• Subscribe to this Workshop item, above.
• Go to Creative mode in TerraTech.
• Click the "Load" button (bottom left of screen) and find it in the "Workshop" tab.
• Remove any blocks from the tech that you don't yet have in your play-through.
• Re-snapshot the tech, so it will now be stored as a local snapshot with your own techs.
• Load as normal in Campaign.
