— In-game description
The Infantry Arms Factory is a large player-built facilitystructure used to produce a variety of infantry weapons and certain materials. It requires power to produce items, and can be upgraded to add more production options.
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.

Special-Issue Firearms Assembly
A collection of stations to facilitate the assembly of special-issue infantry weapons and explosives.
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 construction. Rebuilding it restore its stockpile and production orders.
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) and is cleared when the server restarts.
Use
You can access its interface when on foot or in a logistics vehicle by pressing E.
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 question mark button on each production line to view the exact recipes.
It has an item stockpile and an item crate stockpile. Item stockpiles can hold up to 32000 of each input and output items, but crate stockpiles are limited to 1000 crates of each input and output.
In its interface, you can press the Stockpile Actions Log button to view the logs of items retrieved from and submitted to the stockpile.
