Engineer

Engineers help to create natural resources into more advanced materials. There are a variety of materials, and it will be important to know what materials are needed to operate each factory. Aside from operating machinery, engineers can repair factories, machines, and tools. Engineers will have a lot of jobs available to them through operating and repairing.

Activities
Operate: Operate allows you to use the factory you are looking to use. Be aware that if the building isn't yours, you may have to pay an operation fee. Also take note that you must have the resources required in your inventory available to use, if you don't have the resources, you will be notified after you try and use the building. If you cannot make the desired material, you won't be charged the renters fee. If you are doing the job for someone else, they are responsible for all the above.

Repair: Repair allows you to fix buildings, machinery, and tools. Each building or item you repair has a required engineer rank. Make yourself aware of the required rank before accepting jobs to fix something you cannot. You must be on the same plot as the item you are repairing, so if you are repairing a tool for someone and they change plots, you must travel with them in order to fix it.

Maximizing Repair Output
Operating a machine doesn't really have any requirements as far as increasing your output of product. However, repairing machines can be affected by your stats. A higher IQ and mood will decrease the amount of time needed to repair machines.

Tools
Engineers don't have any direct tools, but they will operate buildings and factories to make products.

Income
There are a few ways engineers can make income.
 * 1) Working for Others: Getting jobs from other citizens and countries is going to be the best steady flow of cash for engineers. Since higher tier resources are always in demand, it will be great to keep yourself available to those who are looking for engineers. Also keep an eye out for repair requests, as some will pay decent cash for repair jobs.
 * 2) Creating High Tier Resources: Creating high tier resources and selling to other citizens is a great way of making cash on the side. However keeping track of expenses can get tricky. Selling to the Global Market won't really make you great income, but it can be helpful.
 * 3) Creating Machines and Tools: Players are always looking for machines and tools. Learning how to properly sell these can be a great source of income. Realize there are 20%, 40%, and 80% machines/tools you can make. Learn what tools players can afford around you and go from there.
