The Mass Production Factory (MPF) is a structure that produces crates of items and shippable crates of structures and vehicles at a discounted rate.

Description

The MPF can produce crates of small arms , heavy arms , heavy ammunition , and uniforms like a Factory, but also shippable crates of vehicles and structures (anything that can be made at a Garage, Shipyard, or Construction Yard). By default, each shippable crate contains 3 vehicles/structures.

One player can only have one order queued per category (and per MPF) at any given time. An order can only contain a single type of crate. For every crate in the production order, an additional 10% discount is applied up to a maximum of 50%. When ordering Factory items, a minimum of 3 crates are required. Orders can contain up to 9 crates for items and up to 5 for vehicles and structures. They can be set to "personal" (only you can retrieve them once completed), "squad" (only members of your squad can), and "public". Orders listed in the Output window can be filtered by "personal" , "squad" , or "public" type.

The MPF can only process one order from a category at a time. Subsequent orders are queued and each category can only queue up to 25 orders. The production time per crate is 25 times longer compared to Factory but more orders in queue shorten the total production time. When there are 25 orders queued (the maximum number of orders a category can have) the production speed is 15 times faster for item crates (just 67% longer than factory time) and 12.5 times faster for vehicle and structure crates. Completed personal and squad orders become public if they aren't picked up after 48 hours.

Shippable crates of vehicles and structure produced at the MPF are retrieved via the MPF's loading area and will require a Crane or Flatbed Truck to be transported. The vehicles/structures inside can only be retrieved after the shippable crates are submitted to a Storage Depot or Seaport and unpacked there.

The materials required for the orders must be either in the building's inventory, in your inventory or in your vehicle's inventory. It is also possible to start orders with material crates that are inside a Shipping Container or Small Shipping Container placed on the MPF's loading area with a crane but ONLY if those material crates are NOT reservable.

Finished orders of item crates can be retrieved on foot, from the driver seat of a vehicle, or by placing a Small Shipping Container or Shipping Container on the loading area.

Discount

The discount of the items can be seen when preparing but not starting an order, each subsequent item is further discounted; for example queueing 9 items that cost 100 X each would make the cost: 550 = [90+80+70+60+50+50+50+50+50]. 38.8% discount when queueing 9 crates.

Keep in mind when when making vehicles you 1) can only queue 5 at a time, and 2) each order is 3 times the cost of the base vehicle as each crate is 3 of said vehicle. Using the same premise a vehicle costing 100 X each and queueing 5 would cost 1050 = [270+240+210+180+150]. 30% discount when queueing 5 crates.

• * 85K-b "Falchion" crates have 5 items for the same cost of a normal crate. Meaning that for the cost of 15 tanks (10,5 x unit cost), you get 25 tanks. The discount is 58%.

Tips

The Component and Sulfur resources are scarce and harvested much slower to refine than Salvage. You should always try to use the Mass Production Factory if you are making items that use Refined or Heavy Explosive Materials, unless the cost of waiting outweighs the benefit of saving materials and refining time. Which can often happen in a war situation.

When considering items that use Basic Materials and none/few Explosive Materials, while the efficiency is not a real issue, there is a comfort issue in the MPF. Private and Squad orders when available, remain in Reserve for 48 hours before going Public, while, at the Factory, it happens at 30 minutes.

You can check who made an order by putting your cursor on the category icon on the left of the order, this only works if the player is online.
