i just got novive architecht, and want to start doing something with it of course. i notices the schematics for some things call for similer modules etc...does this mean they have to be exactly the same? as in made in factories with crates and everything? you need similer stuff to even build a factory so where do you start? or does similer just mean using the same resources?!?!? help im stuck!

Similiar means hand made. Identical means factory made.

Similar means nothing really. Well, i guess it does mean "made from the same draft schematic" If an item requires similar components, you can hand make them, factory make them, change the names, use different resources...just about anything. As long as you have 10 items that were crafted from the Structural Module draft schematic (what shows up in your crafting tool UI that you double click to make) or a factory schematic made from that draft schematic, the game does not care what you used in making them, how they were made, or what they are named.

I name most of my sub-components aside fromSMs based on the final experimentation result i get while crafting. Don't do SMs because I do not experiment on them. I like to mix and match the parts that go into a structure...say put all the highest parts into one, and all the lowest parts into another ... and see what the final products turn out like. So far...not much different. But the game does not care if I put a "Wall Module 55%" in a slot with "Fricken crit fail on experiment Wall Module"...it still makes the final product.
