Production is the process by which raw materials are manufactured into various items useful throughout the combine. Please note that this is different from Construction, which instead looks at building facilities and stations as opposed to items and ships. This article attempts to cover production of items, ships and vehicles in brief.
Requirements
There are various requirements which must be met before a user can attempt to produce objects. The user must acquire the various items needed to start the process. Below follows a list of some of the main requirements before a user can attempt production, along with brief explanations.
- Datacards - All entities in the combine universe are based off Datacards. These small objects contain the technical blueprints to construct an object. Datacards can be set to a finite number of uses or unlimited use.
- Resources - All production requires raw materials to work with. Depending on the project, different resources will be required. For example in ship construction you may need Varmigio to produce Hyperdrive components and you will often need Nova to produce explosives. Note that if you are producing items for a faction then you need sufficient privileges in order to use faction resources.
- Facility Access - Almost all production methods, with the exception of items obtained through crafting such as keycards or force craft items require that the user have access to a facility such as a factory in order to produce the entity. This facility MUST be managed or owned by a faction of the appropriate type. For example only a medical facility can manage facilities used to make medical items. Item factions may be used for weapons, armour and tools etc. When producing ships, users may either use a factory for small ships or in some cases, may need to use shipyards.
- Workers - Worker NPCs are required who must be managed by the same faction which manages the facility. They must be available for use and not in a party. The minimum requirement is one NPC, with more reducing the production time. Be aware that there is an optimum number of NPCs required for production, exceeding this will start to increase the production time.
- Capacity - There must be sufficient space inside the facility to store the finished product. This does not apply however to large ships which are instead built externally.
