The LIMEX or Library of Industrial Machinery and Engineering Exchange, is a piece of Cyberware, a deep learning artificial intelligence database created by Caymet to help hybrid terraformers with no prior engineering or survival experience.
As a Caymet device, the LIMEX is nearly un-hackable and compatible with any electronic device, and technically able to effect some Viw controllers.
The LIMEX contains a built-in HUD, being connected directly to the eyes and brain, showing readings of the user's (very) rough health and mental state, various currency balances, objectives, and the current direction the user is facing.
The Blueprint book included in the LIMEX houses over 3,800 basic blueprints, with the core of them being placed into these categories:
Infrastructure, Manufacturing & Processing, Extraction, Energy, Transportation, Life support, Tools, Weapons & Defence, Primitive
Infrastructure:
Includes basic habitation units, tunnels, lights, decoration and various enrichment devices.
Manufacturing & Processing:
Includes most machines, with smelting units, robotics, printers, oil fractioning and automated welders.
Extraction:
Includes drills, excavators, feller bunchers, oil rigs, pumps and laser cutters.
Energy:
Includes solar panels, wind turbines, RTGs, Fission, Hydrogen and Fusion nuclear reactors, Antimatter, Geothermal and things such as batteries and power conduits.
Transportation:
Includes basic vehicle frames, wheels, tracks, engines, suspension, as well as various spacecraft and planetary thrusters including ABEP, Viwdrives and the base Thrusters and drives.
Life support:
Includes basic oxygen production and ventilation, food and plant production, thermal regulation, water synthesis and recycling.
Tools:
Includes personal, ship and station tools, including angle grinders, welders, spacefaring and planetary suits, multitools, and a few instruments.
Weapons & Defence:
Includes various station and personal guns, melee weapons, shields and basic repair drones.
Primitive:
Includes tools, weapons and devices that can be used in the event that a user is stranded on an orbital body, with little to no tools or machinery. This is the largest category, being designed for improvisation and survival in the event of a catastrophic fallback.
