Unit Production
From the Unit Production page you can place purchase orders for the units that will ultimately build up your armies. You can
also see how many of each unit type are currently in production, and how long it will be
until their completion. See also Units.
Each of the manufacturers from which you will purchase units requires a large percentage of 1 or 2 resources. The table below (Table 1) shows
which resource each manufacturer concentrates on.
| Roc | Bytanium | |
| Advantage | C-62 | |
| Flash | Iron | |
| DDT | Bytanium, Iron | |
| Wolf | Bytanium, C-62 | |
| UnderGround | Iron, C-62 | |
| Surreal | Varies | |
| Superior | Bytanium, Iron, C-62 | |
Table 1
You can tell what construction/research you need to develop in order to get a particular unit by the unit's [level] and -manufacturer. So take the Hammerhead-RO [lvl 2] for example. It is a Level 2 vehicle, so you need Grade B quality resources (see Table 2, below). Which resources? Since it is manufactured by Rock(RO) you know
that you need only Bytanium at Grade B. So once you build the Advanced Bytanium Refinery (the first upgrade available after building the bytanium refinery), you will be able to order Hammerheads. You can tell what each
manufacturer needs either by reading about them here in the manual, checking the table above (Table 1), or by checking the Unit Production screen in the game. The table underneath "View/Order units by manufacturer" shows what each manufacturer
specializes in. So you can see which refineries you need to upgrade in order to get the higher level units from a particular manufacturer.
| Level 1 | Refinery (Grade C) | |
| Level 2 | Advanced Refinery (Grade B) | |
| Level 3 | Purification Plant (Grade A) | |
| Level 4 | Decontaminator (Flawless) | |
Table 2
Continuous Orders
One of the newer features is the ability to set "Continuous Orders." Now you can place orders that will produce a steady stream of units
instead of only buying them in lump sum amounts when you log on. This way your base defense and military power can constantly grow whether you log on or not.
To set a continuous order, simply check the "Continuous Order" checkbox when you place an order. All orders, their costs and their status will appear in your "Base Stats" screen. Be careful
not to set too high a unit number for your order. Check your income table to be sure you can afford the orders you've placed. Although if you
save up a lot of resources you can operate at a negative income flow for a time, if youre resources ever goes negative all orders will be cancelled and you will
have lost the time investment it took to get to the producing stage.
