Purpose
The Modification Station serves as a way to create various Vehicle and Tool upgrades that augment their capabilities. Items for crafting are automatically taken from the Player's inventory and Lockers inside of Seabases.
When placed inside a Seabase it requires 5 energy/s.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
Fabricate modifications for tools and vehicles. Pin blueprints to your HUD to help track resource needs while foraging.
Tool modifications are automatically applied to the relevant tool. Vehicle modifications must be installed to an access slot on or within the hull.
BACKGROUND
The standard fabricator is designed for easy assembly in austere survival situations. When blueprints call for complex, multi-system integration, sensitive quantum processes, or non-ground-state synthesis, the modification station steps up.
Mod stations are typically used by engineers to adapt their tools, but any pioneer can benefit from the station's specialized blueprints. Alterra vehicles are designed with expansion slots for modifications—"an unbeatable synthesis of affordability and scalability". The mod station can even help invent or integrate new technology, self-modifying its own tooling as needed*.
Because the modification station needs data on the systems it is modifying and their intended applications, it cooperates closely with PDAs. If this PDA was ever customized before its recent reset, that work might have been done at a mod station like this one. It might be tempting for a user to anthropomorphize the PDA and the mod station as 'friends'.
*The mod station contains a Trans-System Federation blackbox monitoring device to prevent users from violating interstellar law. Do not attempt to tamper with or remove this device.
