The Autolathe
Not to be confused with the Protolathe . An autolathe is a fabricator of the not-so-fancy, but still necessary basic tools and materials. It must be filled with a certain amount of metal or glass before being able to create these items, and it can also break down these items into glass and metal if needed. To feed items into the autolathe click on it with the item.
An autolathe can usually be found in the Cargo Office , and in some maps just outside of the R&D Lab .
It can be hacked to create more items, or simply cease to function.
You can construct your very own autolathe as well.

Importing Designs, AKA Making an Omnilathe
Using a design disk on an autolathe will attempt to upload it's designs to the lathe, unlocking it under the "Imported Designs" tab. This is used with the Enshrined Disc of Smithing (found in a ruin) and Magic Disk of Smithing (Found in a lavaland ruin), which unlock a Cleric Mace and Knight Armour/Helmet respectively. Once unlocked, they can be made from any material, most notably Runite File:Runite stack.png .
The fun part about this however, is that provided you have a Component Design Disk and an R&D Console, you can add almost any design a techfab can make to the autolathe.
First, insert the Component Design Disk into the R&D Console.
A "Design Disk Inserted" Button should appear into the R&D Console, click on it to open the design disk tab.
Once in the design disk tab, you should see several buttons, but the one that's interesting for now is the "Load Design to Slot" , or "Overwrite Slot" if it already has a design on it. Click it and select the item you want to add onto the disk. Keep in mind that you can only have one design on the disk at once, making this a fairly lengthy process if you really want to make an omnilathe.
Once you've selected the design you want, hit the "Eject" button to remove the disk from the console.
Use the now loaded disk on the autolathe to upload the design: Congratulations, you can now print that item in the lathe!
Now you can:
Turn Cargo into an unholy combination of every department with a single circuit imprinter board!
Print a Plumbing Constructor and make a grenade factory as any department member!
Print higher tier parts without having to tide into ask science or engineering every five minutes!
