— In-game description |
The Garage is a logistical world structure where most land-based vehicles can be built, and all land vehicles can be repaired.
Construction
The Garage, as a world structure, have set locations around the map, and can not be built anywhere (i.e. new Garages cannot be constructed anywhere).
If it's destroyed, it can be rebuilt with a Construction Vehicle and 400 Basic Materials, as long as the nearby Town Base has unlocked the Industry base upgrade. If it does not have this upgrade unlocked, it cannot be rebuilt.
Interactions
Building Vehicles
In order to build a vehicle, the player needs to interact with the Garage (by default pressing E
). This opens up a menu, where they can select a vehicle they want to build (so long that it is unlocked), and a blueprint of that vehicle will spawn in the middle. Once spawned, they can start building it by using their hammer. Similar to building defenses, players need to have the right materials (either bmats or rmats) in their inventory in order to build it. Up to 3 players can construct a single vehicle at the same time.
Only vehicle models belonging to your Faction and that have been researched can be created at a Garage. If the inside is blocked by players or other vehicles, a vehicle blueprint cannot be placed and built.
Vehicles spawn with 5% fuel (Diesel) inside them.
Repairing Vehicles
The Garage can instantly repair any land vehicle via a button in the Garage menu. The vehicle must be parked inside the Garage. The action costs 100 Basic Material that must be in the Garage's inventory. Repairing will also reset armor on armored vehicles, and is currently the only way to do so.
NOTE: Repairing vehicles can only be done at a Garage owned by the player's specific faction, and cannot repair armor at a Garage owned by the opposite faction. Additionally, they can only repair vehicles that are producible by the player's faction (i.e. A Colonial cannot repair a captured Silverhand - Mk. IV, as they are not able produce that specific vehicle).
List of Vehicles
All vehicles that are buildable in a Garage can also be mass produced at a Mass Production Factory.
Trivia
- Prior to Update 1.50 ('Inferno'), the Garage and the MPF were able to build all land vehicles. This was changed so that you needed to use Facilities (more specifically, the Small Assembly Station) in order to produce the other vehicles, which was done by modifying an existing one.
- This was a large step in differentiating the term 'Base Vehicles' and 'Variants', which were terms used to describe vehicles that use the same chassis, but had minor changes to them, or had specialized roles. As such, 'Base Vehicles' referred to ones that could be built in a Garage, while 'Variants' could only be created by modifying that 'Base Vehicle'.
- Despite the terms 'Base Vehicles' and 'Variants', some land vehicles are considered 'Base Vehicles' but are not able to be built in the Garage.
