building some waved "nanofac" that builds quirky things which tend to be quirky (because they contain handwavium) will be (most likely) the "easy" solution...
building a waved one that build things without handwavium contamination is harder (see Blood Oranges in the wiki ^^).
building a hardtech one is... lets say a few decades away for most Fen.
