Production buildings' functionality
In the previous articles, we explored the mechanics of base-building and how to obtain the most common resources. Now it's time to figure out where it can be applied. This topic will be split into two articles - in this one we will delve into the various production buildings and their benefits and the next one will cover amenities and operations buildings.
It's crucial to remember that the proper selection of employees for each building is important for maximizing production efficiency. Job slots in buildings have attributes and proficiency requirements, and assigning employees that match those requirements can result in significant bonuses.
Recycler
This building allows you to recycle items into resources and energy. Items that give energy can be recycled both instantly using stamina or automatically over time, while others can be recycled only in automatic mode. Assigning an employee here will increase the overall recycling speed.
Processing Plant
This building produces all the advanced resources needed for gear and weapon crafting. There is no possibility to produce items instantly with stamina, but assigning the right employees can greatly increase production speed.
Factory
This is the main building for combat and produces all the gear and weapons needed for successful missions and expeditions. Just like the processing plant, items cannot be produced instantly with stamina, but having some skilled employees can increase production speed.
Farmhouse
This building is where you can grow different plants used to produce food in the canteen. Each of the six bays can contain a different plant species, and you need to spend a certain amount of stamina to collect crops. Properly assigned employees can increase crop growth speed and handle collection and replanting.
Cloning Facility
This building is essential when you face life-threatening combat situations. It allows you to produce spare bodies that can be used in case of lethal injuries. At the cost of some biomass and an energy core, you can produce up to three clones, and the facility can also restore your current body if you die in combat. Besides that, the high-tech brainwashing machine in it can help you forget everything and reassign skill and attribute points from scratch. Unlike other buildings, you cannot assign employees here, as there is no need for continuous maintenance.
Canteen
This building is quite different from all previous ones as it serves both production and amenities needs. We'll go through its production part and will return to amenities functions in the next article.
Here you can produce all the food needed for your visitors and employees. Cooking can be done manually with stamina or automatically, depending on the building's efficiency. Assigning employees to the canteen can increase production speed and employees in the canteen fill the production queue automatically according to the visitors/employees needs.
In summary, the game features different production buildings such as the Recycler, Processing Plant, Factory, Farmhouse, Cloning Facility, and Canteen. Assigning the right employees to these buildings is of paramount importance, as it affects production efficiency and speed. Various resources and products can be produced in each building and the process for producing them can be either manual or automatic. The Canteen building is unique in that it serves both production and amenities functions.
