how the adventure works so I have iron ore but like what do I want to do with it well first thing I would say you do is you could build a trading post now you do not need iron order build a training base this is free you can just build this with no resources at all so the way I did that was I pressed B to open the build menu I'll click the Trading Post tab click on Trading Post there's a hologram and if I can't build somewhere goes red if I can't build some ways it's blue and then I just left click again to build it now I right-click and right-click again to just get back those menus and I have a trading post so let's see what can we do here well we can research schematics so here we can choose what would I like to research what looks useful in a factory well I think conveyor belts would be useful for hover ever automated construction and click it you can see here that it's you know if I if I research this schematic I'll have access to constructors conveyor belts and conveyor poles it costs 25 plates and what this means is if I click back on the inventory so this is now active if I click on the inventory there's a ship section here and there's a time here so in 9 minutes and 18 seconds this ship here is gonna ship off and pay for a schematic and so the schematic cost is 25 iron plates so if I send 25 iron plates on the ship I'll get the schematics required for constructors conveyor belts and convey pulls back so I can improve my factory so how do I get iron plates what did I need I need a 25 iron plates yeah right here okay well there's a workbench here attached to the Trading Post so here there are M plates here that's what we need and to do that I need to iron ingots for 1 iron plate and ok so let's click on iron ingots and I need iron ore for that so I can click that it's selected with a little blue thing there and then I just spam quick produce and you can see I'm making iron ingots now I have 10 now I can make iron plate some of those ok so that was only 5 I need 5 20 more yeah ok so then I'll just rinse and repeat the process until I have the plates required to ship one other thing
