In-game description

The Field Modification Center is a large player-built facility structure used to upgrade various vehicles to a higher tier. It is only possible to upgrade vehicles from the player's faction.

Construction

The Field Modification Center is built with a Construction Vehicle and costs Processed Construction Materials. Like all facilities, it must be built on Foundations. Tier 2 Facilities must be unlocked in order to build it.

Interactions

  • You can access its interface either on foot or in a logistics vehicle by pressing E.
  • The original builder can instantly demolish it TrenchDemolishIcon.png if it was built less than 7 days ago (materials refunded).
  • It is immune to Friendly Fire but it can be flagged for "Disruptive Structure Placement" RemoveStructureIcon.png to remove the immunity (5 "votes" needed).
  • You can view the Action Logs Log.png to check the modifications done to it.
  • Putting your cursor on its icon on the map shows its stockpile content (if not reserved by a Squad you're not in).
  • Destructions of this structure type by enemies are logged in the Region Event Logs.

Squad Reservation

It can be reserved for a Squad TrenchReservationIcon.png for 52 hours (can be refreshed) with the following effects:

  • Prevents non-members from modifying it.
  • Produced vehicles are automatically reserved to the Squad.
  • Prevents non-members from remotely viewing the stockpile content by putting their cursor on the structure's icon on the map.
  • However the reservation does NOT prevent non-members from accessing the stockpile or starting a production.

Upgrading Vehicles

All vehicles, regardless of their size or tier, require 8 MW of power, which takes 5 minutes of continuous power in order to upgrade it to its next tier. Once upgraded the vehicle will be locked to the player that launched the upgrading process.

Certain vehicles cannot be upgraded to a higher tier:

  • Ships
  • Certain logistical vehicles (notably faction-neutral ones, or the ones that have the "BMS" tag in their name)
  • Battle Tanks
  • Super Tanks

In order to be upgraded, the vehicle must be driven inside of the Field Modification Center, and selected in the menu. Its upgrade cost depends on the vehicle and its current tier.

Trivia

  • Prior to Update 1.50 (officially known as 'Inferno'), the only way to upgrade vehicles was to not tech them during the initial "pass" on the tech tree
    • This process limited what vehicles could be eligible for a higher tier, which meant only combat vehicles could have higher tier upgrades
  • Prior to Update 1.52, the Field Modification Center used the basic facility icon when viewed on the map
    • This was later changed with the map update, which gave it a distinctive icon visible on the map
