¶ Factories
Factories are essential to increase your coalitions unit deployment strategy
They are used as a convenient origin point for unit production. If you have no factories, all units will be dispatched from your free airbase.
They are not responsible for providing available resource points - these are obtained by capturing the objective zones.
¶ Locating your Factories
To enable you to more easily find the your coalition factories, we can use the F10 → F1 (Status) → F2 (Summary) → F1 (Limits) or use the -limits chat command
¶ Deploying a Factory
You may place a factory anywhere on the map outside of an exclusion zone (green dotted line)
When you deploy a Factory, you get a Factory FARP to enable players to spawn there.
¶ Deployment
To deploy a factory, we spawn a Factory Build Crate use the F10 menu at a airbase or FARP with shelter built
F10 (Other) → F2 (Cargo) → F3 (Spawn Items) → F1 (Base Items) → Factory Build Crate
This crate can be loaded internally into logistics airframes, sling loaded, or loaded into Utility trucks and moved to a position at least 8nm away from a Friendly Airbase or FARP
Once at the destination, unpack the crate and you will be met with a Factory Construction Site (Repair Workshop).
The build time of a factory is variable between instant and 5 hours, based on the slotted player counts over a 5 hour period to ensure that a team that has been outnumbered for an extended period is not punished further and has the ability to “catch up”
¶ Construction Site
¶ Active Factory
Once the construction phase has been completed, the Repair Workshop will be replaced with a much harder to kill Factory which requires 2x 2000lb Bunker Busters
