Basic Inventor

Basic Inventor is an Achievement/Trophy in BioShock. The Achievement is worth 5 Gamerscore and the Trophy is bronze.
==Requirements==
The player has to invent an item at the U-Invent vending machine.
==Notes==
*Any item invented will do.
*The U-Invent machines first appear in Arcadia (Waterfall Grotto), as well as the invention components which are all lootable items.
**The requirements for inventions are listed on the U-Invent page.
*This Achievement/Trophy is not possible to miss, as to progress in the story the player has to invent the Lazarus Vector in Arcadia, which will grant the Achievement/Trophy.
==Strategy==
*As soon as you start the Arcadia level, loot everything in sight to get as many invention components as possible.
*Hacking a U-Invent machine and/or using the Clever Inventor Gene Tonic reduces the requirement of each component by one, down to a minimum of one. Both can be stacked.
*If no invention components were found in a lootable object, the Scrounger Gene Tonic will allow the user to search a second time, giving another chance to find some.
==Behind the Scenes==
*The Achievement/Trophy icon depicts a lit lightbulb. A lit lightbulb is often used to represent a person having a bright idea.
