| A powerful and versatile manufacturing "black box", capable of building itself out to an industrial scale, given the necessary raw materials and human assistance.
This one is good as new, at least according to its on-board diagnostics. In practice, getting defect-free starship components is still a challenge given the overall state of manufacturing in the Sector, but this nanoforge is as good as it gets. |

–In-Game Description | ||
The Pristine Nanoforge is a special item. It can be installed into the Heavy Industry and Orbital Works industries.
Pristine Nanoforges have a base price of 200,000c.
Effects[]
When installed into an appropriate industry, a Pristine Nanoforge increases the industries' production of all commodities by 3 units.
Additionally, having a Pristine Nanoforge installed will increase the ship quality of the fleets spawned at the planet by 50%. If the planet supplies the most ship hulls of any in-faction planet, this bonus also affects all other planets in the faction, as well as custom production.
A nanoforge (Corrupted or Pristine) will immediately create the Pollution condition when used in a colony with the Habitable condition, increasing hazard rating by 25% and effectively cancelling out Habitable's hazard rating benefits. If the nanoforge is removed before 90 days (cumulative) then the Pollution will also be removed; a nanoforge remaining for longer than this results in permanent Pollution. This interaction occurs specifically with the Habitable condition, and not with colonies that have Pollution but not the specific Habitable condition.
Acquiring[]
Nanoforges can be found randomly in caches, abandoned stations and ruins. They can also be acquired by raiding a colony that already has one installed in an industry. It will displayed under an industry on the colony information screen if one exists.
The following core worlds have a Pristine Nanoforge by default:
- Chicomoztoc, in the Aztlan Star System (Hegemony)
- Kazeron, in the Thule Star System (Persean League)
As with all colony items, if the player donated to the Bar Historian twice he/she can rarely provide the location of a Pristine Nanoforge.
