'''Outlanders''' are tinkerers from beyond the portal who try out the old technology. You need them to research anything at all: they run the Outlander Test Site. They also scout from the Rangertower and watch over every Nuclear Reactor.

== Calling an Outlander ==
The Outlander call is open at the [[BlockFactory:Portal of the Ancient|Portal of the Ancient]] from the start. Outlanders only come to a factory with something varied to offer.

{| class="wikitable"
! colspan="2" | Outlander call
|-
| Essence needed || 150 (rises 5 % per Outlander already summoned in the world, at most double)
|-
| Takes || Every item with a Gob or Gol research value, plus Stone, Wood, Coal, Iron Ore and Copper Ore
|-
| Essence per item || Its research value; the five raw materials count 0.5
|-
| Limit || Each item kind fills at most 10 % of the bar
|-
| Summoning || 20 seconds
|-
| Result || [[File:BlockFactory_Trap_Stone_Outlander.png|24px]] the item '''Trapped Outlander''' (stacks up to 10)
|}

'''The variety rule:''' with at most 10 % per item kind, a full bar needs at least ten different kinds of items. Ten stacks of the same plate will not do. The portal window shows how much of each kind's share you have already used.

A first Outlander can be paid entirely with things from the start. At the starting price each share is 15 essence:

{| class="wikitable"
! Item !! Value !! Pieces to fill its share
|-
| Stone, Wood, Coal, Iron Ore, Copper Ore || 0.5 || 30 each
|-
| Iron Plate, Copper Plate || 1 || 15 each
|-
| Copper Cable || 0.75 || 20
|-
| Stone Brick || 2 || 8
|-
| Iron Gear || 3 || 5
|}
That is ten kinds and exactly 150 essence. The research values of all items are on [[BlockFactory:Research|Research]].

== Where you need Outlanders ==
{| class="wikitable"
! !! Building !! Trapped Outlanders !! Role
|-
| [[File:BlockFactory_Outlander_Testgebiet.png|32px]] || Outlander Test Site || 1 || Tests research with your Knowledge Scrolls
|-
| [[File:BlockFactory_Rangertower.png|32px]] || Rangertower || 1 || Scout who watches for enemies
|-
| [[File:BlockFactory_Nuclear_Reactor.png|32px]] || Nuclear Reactor || 1 || Watches over the reactor core
|}
An Outlander stands in front of each of these buildings.

== Outlander Test Site ==
The heart of research: you choose a technology, bring its Knowledge Scrolls, and the Outlanders test it until it is unlocked. It is available from the start (7 × 7, no power needed). Recipe: 1 Trapped Outlander, 60 Stone Brick, 30 Iron Plate. When a test is done, the Outlander Tinkerer cheers and fireworks go off over the site. Everything about testing is on [[BlockFactory:Research|Research]].

== Rangertower ==
{| class="wikitable"
! colspan="2" | Rangertower
|-
| Epoch || 2
|-
| Unlocked by || Rangertower
|-
| Size || 3 × 3
|-
| Energy || 300 kW electric
|-
| Range || 160 blocks
|-
| Recipe || 1 Trapped Outlander, 10 Steel Plate, 10 Wood, 5 Electronic Circuit
|}
With power, the Outlander scout on the tower spots nests and approaching groups of creatures within 160 blocks and marks them on your map. See [[BlockFactory:Defense|Defense]] and [[BlockFactory:Enemies|Enemies]].

== Nuclear Reactor ==
Every '''Nuclear Reactor''' needs a Trapped Outlander in its recipe (with 100 Concrete, 80 Steel Plate, 100 Copper Plate and 100 Advanced Circuit). The Outlander stands in front of the reactor. See [[BlockFactory:Nuclear Power|Nuclear Power]].
