Assemblies
From DoomRL Wiki
Assemblies are the finished product of combining standard Weapons/Armor or Special equipment with a particular set of mod packs. Some assemblies can only be made with a particular piece of equipment, while others can take a variety of different weapons, armors, or boots. There are three types of assemblies: Basic, Advanced and Master.
You may choose not to assemble when prompted. If you do so, you will instead have a normal modified piece of equipment that can be modified further (if your Whizkid level allows it). The latter is particularly useful to remember if you're trying to figure out basic assembly combinations or when trying to assemble a higher rank assembly the recipe for which partially matches a lower rank assembly recipe (for example, Fireproof boots and Environmental boots).
Modpacks can be added in any order, with the exception that a second mod of the same type can only be added to armor/boots/melee weapon when completing an assembly, since those can only accept one mod of a kind at once. This additionally applies when an assembly requires a special modpack that normally can't be applied to the requisite piece of equipment (e.g. a firestorm mod can't be applied to a pistol nor chaingun, so it has to be applied last when assembling Demolition ammo).
Assemblies can also be modded in limited circumstances. If the player has the second level of Whizkid before the assembly is finished, they may then add a single mod to that assembled item.
The schematics are listed in the order in which they appear on the in-game assembly screen, listing their name, base equipment and the required mods.
