The Manufacturing Machine has five uses.
Combine Item
This allows anyone to add a Core Machine to a socket item.
The socket item has to be unequipped and in your inventory.
Click on the Manufacturing Machine and select [Start Combination].
Put the socket item in the left box. Put the core machine in the right box.
Click on [Combine] to make a Modern Steam item.
This will succeed 100% of the time. There is no chance of failure and no items will be lost.
The Core Machine cannot be disassembled or removed from the Modern Steam item.
A Modern Steam item cannot be combined with a different Machine Core.
Item Reform
This process uses gold, neosteam and soul crystals to add random bonuses to an item.
Item Upgrade
Combine a weapon with a Seril Stone to add more damage to the weapon.
Combine a piece of armor with a Serillone to add more defense.
Upgrading an item to +3 will always work.

An item can be upgraded to a maximum of +10.
