Nano Forge
The Nano Forge is a UV+ tier multiblock that is used to craft nanites. No other machine has the precision or capability to create such advanced, microscopic robots. It is first required in UHV when building the Mothership or the tier 2 PCB Factory, but continues to play an important role in progression up to UXV. Expect to give this machine an insane amount of power as the recipes are very long.
Construction
There are three tiers to the Nano Forge and each requires a specific nanite in the controller's GUI in order to function. Furthermore, tiers 2 and 3 both require an additional structure around the main body. Their locations are fixed, but they are easily wall-shared. The Multiblock Structure Hologram Projector can be used to quickly build a Nano Forge where the number of projectors stacked together determines the tier shown.

Nanites
The following are all the different types of nanites that can be crafted as well as their required tier and non-consumable items. If a nanite's tier is lower than the tier of the Nano Forge, it gains perfect overclock.
Note that the dilithium lens is gated behind the Mothership and the forcicium lens is gated behind the Portal to the Deep Dark.
| Tier | Nanite | Required Non-Consumable(s) |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Carbon | Quite Certain Crystal Lens |
| 1 | Neutronium | Chromatic Lens |
| 2 | Silver | Radox Polymer Lens |
| 2 | Glowstone | Radox Polymer Lens |
| 2 | Transcendent Metal | Energised Tesseract |
| 3 | Gold | Dilithium Lens |
| 3 | White Dwarf Matter | Dilithium Lens, Magneto Resonatic Lens, Quantum Anomaly |
| 3 | Black Dwarf Matter | Dilithium Lens, Magneto Resonatic Lens, Quantum Anomaly |
| 3 | Universium | Dilithium Lens, Quantum Anomaly |
| 3 | Eternity | Forcicium Lens, Quantum Anomaly |
