# Crafting Your Own Buildings

*Duskworks has started its "Gray Goo" operation, distributing the blueprints of Generation Three buildings to settlers with enough experience to create their very own Duskworks buildings.*

*These buildings have a higher maintenance cost than Generation Two buildings due to the nature of being created DIY by settlers but they'll be cheaper than purchasing them directly from the Duskworks bases.* \
\
*Chief Researcher Katherine Collins would like to remind settlers the importance of keeping their buildings well maintained or else they will not sustain optimal operation.*

### What Buildings can I create?

On launch of player crafting:

| Building     | Minting Token Cost        | Source          |
| ------------ | ------------------------- | --------------- |
| Solar Panels | 3 + (2 to turn into NFT)  | 3D Print Shop   |
| Mining Rig   | 35 + (2 to turn into NFT) | Engineering Bay |
| C.A.D.       | 3 + (2 to turn into NFT)  | Engineering Bay |

More buildings will be available to craft as time goes on and Duskworks releases more blueprint data. These blueprints have a slightly differing size and have a maintenance cost. Otherwise they will function identical to the previous generation's building.

Alongside the **Minting Token** cost you will also need some resources. To find out exactly what you need head over to the following pages and find the recipe within.

{% endcontent-ref %}

### Okay, how do I mint it?

Now that you've obtained your Mintable building, you'll need to mint it. Head over to your inventory and you'll notice a bright new shiny button on your Mintable building.

{% hint style="info" %}
As of the time of writing, the fee to mint the Mintable Buildings is 2 Minting Tokens. This is subject to change!
{% endhint %}

If you don't see your minted building in the **Wallet** section of your inventory right away, do a page refresh and check again. If it still doesn't appear, contact support!
