# Hardware Assembly
The Aeon system consists of a modular, scalable, and programmable habitat equipped with various interactive and non-interactive modules, such as [foraging patches](target-foraging-patch) and [nests](target-nest). 
Here, you will find comprehensive guidelines and parts lists to help you replicate the main modules or inspire you to create your own.
