Basics of Building

I have read over some of the discussions and pleas for help.Most common ones are asking "where do you get blueprints and how do you build them?"Well let us start at the start.In your over view screen, at the top (Just after you login) there are 7 buttons (5 named)4 of these are screen tabs.The one named "Foundry" is the Crafting tab.This is a screenshot of what the Foundry looks like.Obviously its not a raw start but it gives a pretty good idea of how this all starts.In the image there are 4 blueprints.2 are able to be started while the other 2 are missing components.Green means it's ready to build and get going.Red means you are missing some components.In the image the first blueprint "Orokin Catalyst" has 3/4 pieces ready for the creation to start.The red image beside it lets us know that is what we are missing. In this case its a component called a "Control Module".So that's the blueprints list. Next to this list is another called the "Component" list. This shows us exactly what we have already, whether it's used in blueprints we have or not.So in this i have Polymer Bundles, Rubedo, Salvage and the Banshee Systems and Banshee Chassis.To start building you simply press the Build button on the green lit and ready to go blueprints.Before you ask "WHY ISNT IT WORKING".!!!THERE IS A BUILD TIME!!!For instance, the Cronus sword takes 12 hours.The Orokin devices take 1 day.All Warframe components take 12 hours.And all Warframe builds take 3 days.I am well aware that the build time is a pain in the ass but the good news is you can build more than one thing at a time.Just to touch on it (because i don't enjoy spending money and this game to me is more fun if you don't spend money except to buy colors)You can speed up builds with Platinum. Each build varies but if you're going to spend money to speed up a build on something like Warframe components then you're going to be better off spending real money on the actual frame in the first place (Play thrifty people!)That is pretty much it. Complexity at its simplest
