# Machine Upgrading
Machines help the station run smoothly, and as a scientist, you can help them run even better!
## Parts
<Box>Stock Parts:</Box>
<Box>
<GuideEntityEmbed Entity="CapacitorStockPart"/>
<GuideEntityEmbed Entity="MatterBinStockPart"/>
<GuideEntityEmbed Entity="MicroLaserStockPart"/>
</Box>
<Box>
<GuideEntityEmbed Entity="MicroManipulatorStockPart"/>
<GuideEntityEmbed Entity="ScanningModuleStockPart"/>
</Box>
You can examine each machine part to see both the type and the rating, which range from 1 to 4.
Parts of higher levels can be researched as well as found through artifacts or salvage.

## Upgrading
To know if a machine can be upgraded, you can examine it and check for the [color=#a4885c]lightning bolt[/color] icon in the lower right corner. Clicking on it will allow you to see what kinds of upgrades the machine has.
To check what parts a machine needs, you can examine its board. Try it here:
<Box Orientation="Vertical">
<GuideEntityEmbed Entity="ProtolatheMachineCircuitboard"/>
<GuideEntityEmbed Entity="CloningPodMachineCircuitboard"/>
<GuideEntityEmbed Entity="TraversalDistorterMachineCircuitboard"/>
<GuideEntityEmbed Entity="ThermomachineFreezerMachineCircuitBoard"/>
</Box>
You can use any rating part for any part requirement. Using higher rated parts will increase how effective the machine is.
If you want to upgrade an existing machine, simply deconstruct it with a screwdriver and crowbar, and replace the existing parts with parts of a higher level.
You can also quickly upgrade machines by using an RPED, loading it with machine parts, and then clicking on a machine. It will quickly be upgraded with whatever parts were inserted.

# Science
Science, often called Research and Development, is a job made up of both generating research points to unlock new technologies as well as using said technologies to produce new items at lathes to help out the station.
## Technologies
<Box>
<GuideEntityEmbed Entity="ComputerResearchAndDevelopment"/>
<GuideEntityEmbed Entity="ResearchAndDevelopmentServer"/>
</Box>
The most important thing inside your department is the R&D server, which stores unlocked technologies, and the R&D computer, which allows you to unlock technologies.
Each technology costs [color=#a4885c]Research Points[/color] and unlocks recipes at lathes. Some technologies will also have prerequesites you have to unlock before you can research them.
## Lathes
<Box>
<GuideEntityEmbed Entity="Protolathe"/>
<GuideEntityEmbed Entity="CircuitImprinter"/>
</Box>
<Box>
<GuideEntityEmbed Entity="ExosuitFabricator"/>
<GuideEntityEmbed Entity="MedicalTechFab"/>
</Box>
At a lathe, you can sync to a server to allow it print whatever recipes you have unlocked. Recipes require various materials (steel, glass, plastic, gold, plasma) which can be acquired at Cargo or Salvage.
