Description
A small collection of basic, modular base pieces, a printer to quickly build them and a hauler to get them into position.
This Collection may be for you if you are already in space and comfortable in terms of resources. Its main focus is to provide quickly built, ready to use bases for the Colonization of Planets and more efficient harvesting operations.

UPDATED:
- Improved module layout, allowing for more flexible connections
- added two specialized harvesting modules
- reworked module hauler allows for easier docking and transport of more modules at once
- improved shipyard movability

All modules are equipped with Merge Blocks and Connectors to allow connections on four out of six facings, they also come with an extendable docking Connector on the roof and a Gatling Turret to provide basic safety. Each module is capable of independent planetary entrance due to a Parachute, a Gyroscope, a Control Station and four Landing Gears.

Modules can be deployed to Space, Asteroids, precisely landed on planet surface or dropped from high orbit.
Each module is differently focused and can work on their own for specialized locations:

- Refining Module: Has four Arc Furnaces, two upgraded Refineries and O2/H2 Generators as well as a Large Cargo Container and Oxygen / Hydrogen Tanks.
Usage: Deploy close to resource locations.

- Assembly Module: Has four upgraded Assemblers, a Large Cargo Container and a small 3x3x4 Welding Bay for easy drone manufacturing. Usage:
Deploy for immediate heavy production demands.

- Hydrogen Module: Equipped with eight O2/H2 Generators, three Hydrogen Tanks, two Oxygen Tanks and a Large Cargo Container.
Usage: Deploy to harvest and process massive amounts of Ice.

- Ore Module: Comes with three upgraded Refineries, ten Arc Furnaces and two Large Cargo Containers.
Usage: Deploy to larger Mining operations for heavy-duty processing.

- Command Module: Has four Cryo Chambers, a Medical Room as well as a Large Reactor, an Antenna, two Programmable Blocks and three LCD Panels. The Module is also pressurized and can thus sustain personnel in hostile environments.
Usage: Deploy together with other modules for larger installations to manage and improve their performance.

- Colony Shipyard: A printer to quickly assemble modules for deployment. Equipped with Jump Drives to begin manufacturing near the target location.
Usage:
1. Activate the Projector, the Merge Block and the Welders, and turn them back off once the Shipyard Assistant is completely built.
2. Remotely connect to the Shipyard Assistant and select the Module you want to build in the Projector and align it properly.
3. Turn Welders back on and fly slowly forwards until the blueprint is complete, then check in the Projector for missing parts (usually a few corner lights, you may have to turn the projector off and on again to update the build progress). Weld them and then grind away the assistant.

- Module Hauler: A simple, hydrogen powered hauling ship capable of transporting modules to any target location.
Usage: Connect the Merge Block to a module to move it. Multiple modules can be linked and moved at once, but the Hauler performance cannot be guaranteed on atmospheric entry.
