| — In-game description |
The BMS Foreman Stacker (also known as a Facility Crane) is a player-built facility structure used to move shippables around.
Construction
It can be built by players on Foundations using a Construction Vehicle and costs 10 Processed Construction Materials. It can't be built less than 10m from another Facility Crane.
Tier 2 Facilities must be fully researched in the Weapons and Structure 
Tech Tree in order to be constructed.
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 and the crane arm is not holding anything. The materials used in the construction 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. 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 construction. It can only be done by the faction that owned the facility.
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 structure modifications and players entering or exiting the structure. 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.
Crane Operation
It requires 0.5MW of power to function. It can be entered by pressing Q (default). You aim and move the crane arm with RMB. While the arm is moving, an icon will show on the ground directly below the crane hook. When aiming said icon above a shippable, it will change icon to a set of gears. When using LMB, it will pick up the shippable, which then can be dropped at another spot or into a shipping vehicle, like the Flatbed Truck or Freighter.
You can rotate the crane hook and what it's lifting using A and D.
The arm's range is a little over 20m from the crane's center and its minimum range is approximately 4.5m.
Trivia
- When the Facility Crane was introduced in Update 1.50 ('Inferno'), it had the exact same model as the Stationary Crane, which is attached to world structures, such as the Refinery, Seaport, and the Storage Depot.
- The model was updated in Update 1.51, which added a metal skirt around the base of the structure, which was added to differentiate it.
