The manufacturing.xml configuration file contains configuration for manufacturing processes that can be performed by settlers in manufacturing buildings. Manufacturing processes can be added, edited, or deleted.

A "malfunction" element has the following attributes: "name", "tech", "skill", "work-time", and "process-time". The "name" attribute has to be a unique name for the process. The "tech" attribute is the minimum manufacturing building tech level required for the process. The "skill" attribute is the minimum materials science skill required for a settler to start or work on the process. The "work-time" attribute is the total amount of effective work time (millisols) (See "conf/time.txt") required to complete the process. The "process-time" attribute is the total amount of time (millisols) (See "conf/time.txt") required for the process to be completed.

The "malfunction" element has the following child elements:

• inputs: This is a list of input materials required for the process. The inputs element is required, but there can be zero to many child elements of the following types:


• resource: The resource element has a "name" attribute for a supported type of resource (See resources.xml). The "amount" attribute is a decimal value of the amount of the resource (kilograms) needed.


• part: The part element has a "name" attribute that must match up to a part listed in the conf/parts.xml file (See parts.xml). The "number" attribute is the number of parts required.


• outputs: This is a list of output materials produced by the process. The outputs element is required, but there can be zero to many child elements of the following types:


• resource: The resource element has a "name" attribute for a supported type of resource (See resources.xml). The "amount" attribute is a decimal value of the amount of the resource (kilograms) produced.


• part: The part element has a "name" attribute that must match up to a part listed in the conf/parts.xml file (See parts.xml). The "number" attribute is the number of parts produced.


• equipment: The equipment element has a "name" attribute that must match up to a supported type of equipment in the simulation (as of version 2.84, currently supported equipment are: "bag", "gas canister", "barrel", "specimen container", and "eva suit". The "number" attribute is the number of equipment produced.


• vehicle: The vehicle element has a "name" attribute that must match up to a vehicle type listed in the conf/vehicles.xml file (See vehicles.xml). The "number" attribute is the number of vehicles produced.
