Regarding the engineering planning device as it is now:
You need to load a contract, once you do it will have a use-button on the top left, click it to expand:
You can see it loads some generic construction options, plus whatever equipment the contract installation entails. You can click the buttons then click on the world to place it, these holograms are only visible while holding the planning device
If you place stuff down you will also see it evaluates whether the contract has been fulfilled or not for any given tile and will highlight that as green instead (so you dont bill people for floor tiles that are already a floor tile for instance)
Both the contractor and the customer need to agree on a plan before the contract moves to the in-progress state, and then once the contract is completed you can hand it to the customer for final approval. I may remove that last step and just let you self approve since the contract already checks whether you built the thing or not but its too late to change that for now
Finally, the medical department computer has a screen to put in contracts ordering stuff like this
This includes a bunch of infrastructure that can be used for future construction contracts, such as the centcom based ones that ask you to build a singulo engine or whatever and which also spawn orders to cargo for the needed equipment
Motherfucker, well played
