Detailed WalkthroughEdit
Once you enter Nchuanthumz, head straight and deal with a few skeevers until you reach the lift to Nchuanthumz's Manufactory. Use the lift and then continue straight forward until you reach the corpse of Seeks-Ancient-Artifacts, examine the body to find a Dwemer Actuator and his second journal.
The journal lists the items required to repair the assembly lines, with the required items being one Dwarven oil, three Dwemer cogs, and three Dwemer Actuators. The room already contains everything you need. You should already have one Dwemer Actuator from Artifacts' own inventory; the other two are on the two tables on either side of the room, alongside the cogs and the oil. Collect all the required items and activate the Dwarven Sphere Overseer button. The quest markers will direct you to press either the right or left button to do so.
The Dwarven Sphere Overseer will emerge from the scuttle on the right side of the room. Follow the Dwarven Sphere Overseer and give it the repair parts by interacting with it. You can then activate the manufactory; if you already have a Centurion Dynamo Core then you can head straight to the room on the left, however if you don't have one, go to the room on the west side of the manufactory to find a destroyed Dwarven Centurion Master, whose body has a core on it.
Place the Centurion Dynamo Core into the Dynamo Actuator and then activate the button next to it. This will build a Dwarven Spider Renovator, head back to the lift and go back up to Nchuanthumz. There are three sections of the house to clear with the spider, each takes 24 hours once the spider is summoned using one of the levers. Once all three sections are complete, the quest will finish and you will have a fully furnished Dwarven house.

- The following empty quest stages were omitted from the table: 1, 49, 71, 72, 73, 75, 77, 78, 79.
- Any text displayed in angle brackets (e.g.,
<Alias=LocationHold>) is dynamically set by the Radiant Quest system, and will be filled in with the appropriate word(s) when seen in game. - Not all Journal Entries may appear in your journal; which entries appear and which entries do not depends on the manner in which the quest is done.
- Stages are not always in order of progress. This is usually the case with quests that have multiple possible outcomes or quests where certain tasks may be done in any order. Some stages may therefore repeat objectives seen in other stages.
- If an entry is marked as "Finishes Quest" it means the quest disappears from the Active Quest list, but you may still receive new entries for that quest.
- On the PC, it is possible to use the console to advance through the quest by entering
setstage ccAARSSE001ManufactoryControlQuest stage, wherestageis the number of the stage you wish to complete. It is not possible to un-complete (i.e. go back) quest stages, but it is possible to clear all stages of the quest usingresetquest ccAARSSE001ManufactoryControlQuest.
