Basically, machines that turn stuff into other stuff In this case, that thingy on the top left represents alcohol, and the machine turns it into elemental fire, elemental water, elemental air, and elemental earth (In the setting of the game everything runs on alchemy logic, so e.g. one of the very first things you do is turn lead into gold) You're incentivized to optimize the machine, if you look at the bottom you'll see cost, cycles, and area, those are the main metrics but the community has their own like sum where you just add everything together This machine isn't optimized for anything, though, I just liked the way it looked
