GDA Standardized Template Design

The GDA Standardized Template Design is a series of consoles (and a former network) that holds a database for the design and construction of devices important to human development and survival. An STD console is commonly issued to colonists and campaign generals when a long protracted period away from the manufacturing bases of the GDA is to be expected.

Function
The STD console is commonly coupled to 3D printers that can make use of available to create objects and devices. However, the STD database is fluid in that you can set design paramaters and the simulation will design devices that fit particular needs and restraints. For example, if a group of colonists need a low yield reactor but the only source of fuel available is liquid methane, the STD simulation will design a reactor that performs at the desired output and use the required fuel.
