THE EXO AUTOMATED MASS PRODUCTION PROTOCOL
This limited event is all about Automation. While players can complete it without using Automation tools, progress can be sped up dramatically with a few Auto Arms and some clever positioning!

HOW TO START
To start, get yourself an EXO Request Platform, and check out the attached control panel for the items that EXO Dynamics is requesting! For this event, the focus is on building out a print chain that makes items and then submitting them.

If you need a reminder, you can look up at the holograms on the rocket or check the control panel directly on the rocket. When you have the required items, place them on the rocket and send them back. This rocket also has slots for a Medium Canister on top, so you can fill up and then send large amount of resources at once.

Here are the list of items EXO is looking for:
- Carbon: 2 points
- Resipound: 15 points
- Diamond: 20 points
- Nanocarbon Alloy: 30 points
- Automaton 009: 48 points
As you can see, there are items that are easily automated like Carbon, which can be pulled directly off of a Tapper with an Auto Arm, put directly into a Smelter, then plucked with another Auto Arm onto the EXO Request Platform rocket.
