Construct self reliance is a really interesting concept that you should learn as soon as possible, and it is going to -most likely- be used by yourself in -most- if not -all- constructs that you make.
Self reliance is when a construct does not need input of any kind from yourself after it is made, no energy input from you, no repairing it, etc. It still should be checked up on now and then of course but it isn’t needed really if it is done right.
The things that are needed for basic self reliance will be described below, but not fully exactly how to achieve them.
The first thing, if you don’t already know how to do it, I will literally punt you if I hear about that, understood? The thing it needs ABOVE ALL, is a part that is known as a generator, it would intake environmental energy and concentrate inside a storage part or just inside of itself for the use of the constructs functions, etc.
The second part that is needed is self repairing, this is normally pretty easy to be done. They need a blueprint of the design to follow, so it's best to first off learn how to do self-replication and then use the concepts of that for self-repairing, (Blueprint storage inside the construct to repair broken areas). Normally this is pretty easy to get a understanding of.
The next is most likely needed in advanced constructs, a mind area, it should be based so it can function semi-well as if it’s an actual mind, it mostly just needs learning capabilities and such, and being able to interact with all of the parts and decide what should be done, when things should be repaired, etc.
