Next, choose the type of item you want to invent.
Text colors are explained below:
White –
Invention possible in current workshop with current team.
Pink –
Invention possible in current workshop, but not with current team.
Grey –
Invention not possible in current workshop. You must expand workshop facilities.
After selecting the type of invention, you need to select either “Original Invention” or “Specify Plan”
(please see below). Re-selecting the same option will make the cost change, so you can keep doing this
until you are happy with the cost displayed. This concludes the line setup. If you want to set up another
line, follow the steps above on a different line.
• Original Invention – An item will be created. You might even invent a new item.
• Specify Plan – You can modify an item by combining it with other materials.

This shows the success rate of the invention. The quality of
an invention decreases with time. The invention fails if this bar reaches zero.
3) The TIME bar
This shows the time it takes to try and make one unit of an item (one cycle). When the bar reaches the
right end, the first cycle ends and the second cycle automatically begins.
