ok I was thinking alot about cortex command and other RTS.How about making some factories.....you know....and building things....etc. to make it like Command and conquer...you select a factory and build weapons..it would be cheaper than from space etc. how about it guys? |

I don't that would work, I'm not going to try and explain the reason as I would explain wrong and be attacked. But I don't think data (the creator) is going for that. |

This is actually quite possible. Ive seen it done in-game even before B22. You could only build one type of unit, but you could control when they would emerge by opening and closing doors. I think it was the Reaper Factory or something by Thanatos. |

Or even better, the Clone Farm. It was an ACrab pinned to the top of a bunker module. It fired an ARocket which gibbed the clone, making it a functioning cloning vat. It's in the B20 compilation pack for anyone who wants to see it. |

Yeah, just make an immobile actor with a gun that shoots guns. Or crafts gibbing actors, as Lambda said. Or whatever you want the factory to "make" really. It won't cost you any gold to make things via this method, so this couldn't really be used to fully convert Cortex Command into some kind of side-view RTS. If you just want to spawn stuff from within your base, there's already mods out there that can do it for you. |

I support this. Sometimes ordering from space is just too annoying and slow. |

Actually, this'd be a really good idea. Either the factory is dumped by a transport or is placed in the bunker builder, and every time you procure some form of equipment from it, it deducts money, but half of the original cost or something like that. The building its self would have to cost quite a bit though. Pinned dropships full of the same thing aren't as fun, and with this idea, I'm guessing there'd be multiple choices. |

I was thinkin about it and I think I have a solution. It would be somekind of unit tat has limited (or none) movement and it would have different guns that fires diferent things. Somethink like Dreadnought. But I dont know how to solve the gold problem.Othervise its not a bad idea with the opening and closing doors so it could be somethink like the crate wats already in B22 |

I remember Data (or atleast someone high up in the CC Project) Saying that this is not meant to be an RTS, so they're trying to change that look slowly Doesnt really matter if im attacked XD |

You can solve the gold problem by A) using Lua or B) making the factory fire an invisible ship with negative gold value up into the atmosphere. |

The problem is, all having a negative-value be sent into space would do would be reduce your gold count to negative, it wouldn't stop the factory from working at all. So, either you make a scene with pre-made factories now and feed it Alternately, you could order the factories from Space, and the factories only have so many units they can produce, at which point you have to order another factory when it runs out. |

but then you couldn't put factories inside of your base, which is the whole point is it not? |
