Engineering

Resources are tight Soldiers! This is War we’re talking about. Some of you may want to help the AFS by fashioning up a few things from some of that battlefield salvage. Yes recruit… I am talking about Engineering.

Because AFS resources are limited, you may want to keep an eye out for salvage while you’re on patrol. You’ll need raw materials to make the items you want, and though you can buy some from the Supply Sergeants, that’s gonna be more expensive then finding the stuff yourself.

Once you have everything you need, just head over to an AFS Base that has a Crafting Station. Not all of them will have one… as I said, our resources are being stretched as it is. You can usually find a Supply Sergeant manning the station, in case you need any last minute supplies. When you are ready to start, you just place your recipe and all necessary raw materials into the station and in a few seconds of processing, the station will spit your item into the output hopper.

There is a lot more to learn about making provisions for the AFS, but for now, that’s a start. Here are just some of the supplies that are most needed.

Engineering: Thermodynamics

This skill confers the ability to tinker with the fundamental forces of nature. Allows modification of forcefield generators, teleporters, thermogenic fields, and similar cutting-edge technology . Higher skill levels allow crafting more powerful items or improving more powerful item enhancements.

Engineering: Chemistry

This skill confers the ability to work with chemical reactions to create solvents, explosives, accelerants, and propellants. Higher skill levels allow crafting more powerful items or improving more powerful item enhancements.

Engineering: Genetics

This skill confers the ability to work with pharmaceuticals and tinker with medical enhancement and healing technology. Higher skill levels allow crafting more powerful items or improving more powerful item enhancements. Additionally, the user may use Tissue Extractors to extract nucleotides from the corpses of fallen enemies.

Engineering: Photonics

This skill confers the ability to tinker with stealth systems, hologram generators, lasers, and other advanced optical technology. Higher skill levels allow crafting more powerful items or improving more powerful item enhancements. Additionally, the user may utilize Salvage Tools to extract advanced electronic components from destroyed enemy robots and machines.
