Story and Gameplay
The Engineer Origin is the foundation for colonization and building in the universe. The EGS Corporation modified the DNA pool for the Engineer Clones to master this task better than any other Clone Origin.
Here are some of the guiding principles, requirements, features and benefits if you choose Engineer as your Origin:
- The Engineer Origin gun is the HWS Engineer Origin Gun (to get your HWS DNA)
- EGS Recycle works globally
Engineer Supply Packages
This supply package can save your life or get you out of a tight spot. The HWS Universe is not without danger, so if you find yourself stuck somewhere without supplies, use this command - but be sure there is room in your inventory first! Every Origin has access to different versions of these survival supplies, so use o:supply wisely. This command can be used once every 7 days.
