Nothing.<\/p>\n

No, really. All you really need is creativity. Everything else is scenery.<\/p>\n

But if you’re here, what you probably wanted to ask is, “If I want to be a construct using the ACS CCU system, how do I decide which specific ACS products to buy?” This guide may help you with that.<\/p>\n

Components<\/h3>\n
    \n
  1. You need a Central Control Unit (CCU)<\/strong><\/a>. That’s the core of the system. Without it, nothing else works. Everything else is optional. This can be purchased in the Workshop.<\/li>\n
  2. An Access Panel<\/strong> is highly recommended. This allows anyone to turn you off, freeze or mute you, or access controls programmed into you. It also provides a visible indication that you are controllable.<\/li>\n
  3. Most constructs want to have a power system of some sort: a Battery<\/strong>, Battery Port<\/strong>, or Doll Key<\/strong>. If you don’t have one, you never run out of power.<\/li>\n
  4. If you’re inclined to control other constructs, you might want a Remote Controller Chip<\/strong>. It’s basically a Remote Control installed in your body (as a HUD).<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Accessories<\/h3>\n
      \n
    1. If there’s someone you want to control you, they might want to have a Remote Control<\/strong>. There’s a transferrable version, if you want to buy one you can give your operator. There’s also a copyable version, if they want to buy one themselves.<\/li>\n
    2. If you use a Battery or Battery Port, you or your owner might want to buy a Charging Platform<\/strong> to put in your home, to make it easy for you to recharge.<\/li>\n
    3. If you use a Battery Port, you and\/or your owner will probably want a Battery Box<\/strong> and a spare battery<\/strong> or two. (The built-in ACS Battery does not require a Battery Box.) You might also want a Battery Charger<\/strong>.<\/li>\n
    4. If you prefer to recharge at ACS, you might want to buy a Priority Access Card<\/strong> that will allow you to use the faster charger.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

      ArtCore<\/h3>\n

      The CCU is a fairly complex product designed primarily for robotic characters. If you’re looking for something simpler and want to play something more like a mannequin or statue that can be magically animated, consider the ACS ArtCore<\/a> instead of a CCU.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
