# Alloy Constructs

{% hint style="success" %}
If **Alloy Parts** is the Alloy Space game, **Alloy Constructs** is how you win.
{% endhint %}

Every **Alloy Part** is a subcomponent of a larger system called an **Alloy Construct**. Each **Alloy Construct** is made up of either **3 Alloy Parts** or **4 Alloy Parts**.

Since fabricating **Alloy Parts** is random (aside from the influence on rarity from ARC-Forge stats), there is a very low probability of building all the parts of an **Alloy Construct** on a single ARC-Forge, or even on a set of them. The Alloy Space Market, where players come together to buy and sell parts, is a vital component of the game.

#### These are the numbers:

* **206** - Total number of *Release 1* **Alloy Parts**
* **60** - Total number of *Release 1* **Alloy Constructs**
  * **34** - Total number of *3-Part* **Alloy Constructs**
  * **26** - Total number of *4-Part* **Alloy Constructs**

![An Alloy Construct is the sum of its parts](https://2111160599-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2Ffggipod3jU8OdLSacyrb%2Fuploads%2FiHkVEOXstKPMfcI6Bbxf%2Fconstruct.png?alt=media\&token=d3d609aa-20f4-4324-82cb-50c3cf21fd13)

To assemble an **Alloy Construct,** an [**Assembler Upgrade**](https://alloy-space.gitbook.io/alloy-space/upgrade-parts/atm-upgrades) is required. The **Assembler Upgrade** is essentially a functional kit of fasteners and auxiliary components that are needed to assemble the Alloy Construct.

Once an **Alloy Construct** is assembled (just like **Unprocessed Parts** and **Alloy Parts**) an offer for the Construct is presented to the player. This offer price is a calculation based on the [**Part Value**'](https://alloy-space.gitbook.io/alloy-space/nft-parts/alloy-value)s of the individual Alloy Parts.

#### Alloy Construct Offer Price

> If a construct consists of $$n$$ parts and $$v\_{it}$$is the value of part $$i$$ at time $$t$$, and the construct value multiplier is $$C$$ and the construct value exponent is $$\alpha$$, and the **Part Value to Alloy token** **exchange** **rate** is $$E$$, then the total construct offer price $$V$$ at time $$t=t^*$$ is:\
> $$V(t^*) =CE \left(\sum\_{i=1}^n v\_{it^\*}\right)^\alpha$$in **$NIOZ**

An Alloy Construct is success in Alloy Space S1. In S2, Alloy Constructs are the genesis.
