Introduction
The Robotics Factory is the Frontiersmen robotic units production and research structure created by the Marine Commander.
When powered, the Robotics Factory can produce Mobile Automated Constructors. The Commander can upgrade the structure into an ARC Robotics Factory, allowing the production of ARCs for siege on heavily infested Hive locations.
Tactical Summary - Robotics Factory
- Robotics Factories are the second-largest buildable structure on the Marine team, next to the Command Center.
- Robotics Factories have the unique requirement of an exit and cannot be placed if said exit is blocked.
- Robotics Factories build MACs and when upgraded for a moderate cost of Team Resources, can build ARCs.
- Due to their size, they can be used as effective Bile Bomb blockers near power nodes and prevent Onii from easily reaching a Power Node.
- When distance is a factor remember that ARCs travel at a very reduced pace and can be easily located and destroyed. Making a forward Robotics Factory might mitigate this issue.
Robot Production
MAC | |
The MAC otherwise known as the Mobile Automated Constructors is similar to the Drifter that the Kharaa can build except they do not offer line-of-sight or unique abilities such as Enzyme Cloud. The role of the MAC is limited to building and repairing Marine structures, and welding Marines to restore their armor. Main article: MAC | |
ARC | |
The ARC compared to the Natural Selection 1 variant is a more mobile version that offers great base destructive capability within a certain range. Main article: ARC | |
