“	A factory for producing advanced ammo types such as large calibre shells, rockets, and flame ammo.	„
	— In-game description

The Ammunition Factory (simply known as an Ammo Fac) is a large player-built facility structure used to produce a wide variety of advanced ammunition and certain materials. It requires power to produce items, and can be upgraded to add more production options.

Construction

It is built on Foundations with a Construction Vehicle and costs 25 Processed Construction Materials. The "Tier 2 Facility" technology must be unlocked to build it.

Tier 2 Facilities must be fully researched in the Weapons and Structure Tech Tree in order to be constructed.

Upgrades

Upgrade modules exist to add more production options. However only one can be installed on a facility. It cannot be uninstalled, but demolishing the facility will refund the upgrade cost. The upgrade options are listed in the bottom right corner of the structure's menu. The required materials must be either in the player's inventory or the structure's inventory (All upgrade materials, such as Processed Construction Materials, will stack in the inventory to help with upgrades that require many of them). Certain technologies are required for some upgrades.


Name	Description	Cost	Requirements
Rocket Battery Workshop	Produces various types of Rockets.	35 x	"Tier 2 Facilities" technology
Large Shell Factory	Produces large calibre ordnance for use with tanks and artillery.	175 x	"Tier 2 Facilities" technology
Tripod Factory	Produces various types of tripod weapons.	50 x	"Tier 2 Facilities" technology

Modifications

A single Power Line can be connected to it to provide the power required for production. The line can be disconnected by pressing the "Disconnect All Power" button.

Demolition

The original builder, and squad members if reserved, can instantly demolish it if it was built less than 28 days ago. The materials used in the construction and upgrades are refunded and dropped under the player.

Reservation

The original builder can reserve it for a Squad for 52 hours in the menu to prevent non-members from modifying it, however the stockpile access is not restricted. The reservation can be refreshed by any squad member. If the reservation expires, the structure can never be reserved again.

Destruction

It is immune to Friendly Fire but it can be flagged for "Disruptive Structure Placement" to remove the immunity (5 "votes" needed).

Reconstruction

When destroyed, it leaves behind a Husk that can be destroyed or rebuilt. Reconstruction uses the same tool and materials as the initial construction. Rebuilding a husk restores any installed upgrade at no cost. It also restores the stockpile and production orders if it was friendly owned, and only 25% of the stockpile if enemy.

Structure Event Log

In its interface you can click the "View Actions Log" button to view a list of recent events, with timestamps and player names displayed. Events recorded include modifications and production orders. The log only displays the last 128 events (8 pages).

Use

Its interface can be accessed by pressing E when on foot or driving a logistics vehicle.

Production

A production order can be started by clicking the slide-toggle button on the desired production line: green means on, red means off, and yellow means paused. You can read the reason for the pause by putting your cursor on the slide-toggle button.

A player can only have one order running at a time at a given facility, however up to 5 orders from different players can run concurrently. The amount of active orders is shown at the top. If the limit is reached the subsequent orders are placed in a hidden queue.

Orders can be set to "Public" or "Personal" via the drop-down button at the top:

Public: The inputs are automatically taken from the public stockpile. The output is automatically submitted into the stockpile.
Personal: The inputs are manually transfered by the player by clicking. Output is placed into a private output slot that holds the items for the player whilst production is underway. The output items can be retrieved with RMB > "Retrieve" or as crates with RMB > "Retrieve as crates" (only from a vehicle). If not retrieved, personal outputs are released into the public stockpile 28 hours after the order is complete.

Put your cursor on the "Facility Recipe" button on each production line to view the exact recipes.

Trivia

In 1.54 Naval Warfare, the Ammunition Factory underwent a few changes.
- The Rocket Factory upgrade was renamed to the Rocket Battery Workshop (its functionality remained the same).
- Thermal Shielding was introduced to the game, which could only be produced in here. This made it the first non-ammunition material that the facility could make (aside from one intermediate material).
