Engineering Center
This article is timeless and should be accurate for any version of the game.
| “ | A research facility where players can contribute towards the research of their faction's Tech Tree. | „ |
| — In-game description |
The Engineering Center is a world structure where players can view and progress the faction's Technology by producing Prototype Kits.
Construction
It cannot be built, it is found in certain towns in the rear. Its location is indicated by an icon 
on the map.
Reconstruction
A destroyed Engineering Center can be rebuilt with a Construction Vehicle and 400 Basic Materials if the nearby Town Base has unlocked the Industry 
base upgrade.
Use
Its interface can be accessed on foot or from the driver seat of a logistics vehicle by pressing E.
Technology Tree Viewing
In its interface players can view the two research trees, "Vehicles" 
and "Weapons and Structures" 
, and the current technology progress.
Prototype Kits Production
Players can spend technology materials (Aluminum Alloy, Iron Alloy, Copper Alloy) there to produce Prototype Kits of the technlogy currently being researched, slightly advancing that tech's progress. The technology materials cost per kit depends on the technology, it can be viewed by hovering your mouse over each technology icon.
Note: If the vehicle technology in progress is for a vehicle that's built by upgrading another vehicle at a facility then spending technology materials won't give any Prototype Kit for it.
Trivia
- The Engineering Center shares the same in-game model as the old Technology Center (which was removed in 0.26 War Machine).
- The Engineering Center used to prototype Relic Vehicles and weapons for only one war. This was a test of concept for the current setup we have for Relic Vehicles with Relic Wars (Relic Vehicles are still locked behind tech, but there are no prototypes).
