I am frantically looking for the Tractor beam fabs in Third Redemption, and can't find them.
Are they tucked way out of the way or has GoD probably removed them?
Where are the Tractor beam factories?

Where are the Tractor beam factories?

If you can't find em, and see no debris nor any stations in the distance. Then it isn't there.
Just saying it forward: I give everyone 2 posts to make good, in context posts(proper english, as always, is optional). After that I'm ignoring what you have to say in that thread that's directed to what we previously were talking about.
You don't. I kept paranids at lowest ranks through most of the game except certain step of Hub where you have to dock on their station. Just add Tractor Bean to your hub, EQ, or trading station, set price to the highest and eventually you'll get some if those factories are still present.heratik wrote:Damn, does that mean I have to be nice to the Paranid

If you're playing v3.1, those TB fabs will come back, eventually. I've had them destroyed by enemy action in my recent games, and they reappeared a few game days later, most likely via the Paranid Hercules in that sector visiting the local shipyard. However, if you're playing an older patch, they may have been removed by GoD, in which case they're gone for good.
Have a great idea for the current or a future game? You can post it in the [L3+] Ideas forum.

Looks like I'll have to do that toonitro2500 wrote:I'll be getting my 15 million dollar tractor beam soon. I ended up buying a factory.
I haven't even got enough rep to buy a fact off them yet. Oh well, there go my plans, I intended to cap an Aggy in the next few days but I'll have to postpone that
Alternately, you can keep an eye on the local Hercules, and with a bit of luck you can steal the Herc an the TB fab it hauls out to replace the destroyed ones.

That is an option, but I fear that they were removed by God rather than destroyed...Triaxx2 wrote:Alternately, you can keep an eye on the local Hercules, and with a bit of luck you can steal the Herc an the TB fab it hauls out to replace the destroyed ones.
...so I guess they wouldn't be rebuilt by NPCs?
Like I said, if you're playing v3.1**, GoD won't remove them. They were made 'special' for that very reason. Without someplace to buy those tractor beams, which there isn't in vanilla TC, GoD used to remove them very quickly. But one of the latest patches changed that. I'm 13 game days into one of my games, and both TB factories are still there, although they've been replaced a couple of times due to enemy action. Just have patience.heratik wrote:That is an option, but I fear that they were removed by God rather than destroyed....Triaxx2 wrote:Alternately, you can keep an eye on the local Hercules, and with a bit of luck you can steal the Herc an the TB fab it hauls out to replace the destroyed ones.
**If you're not playing v3.1, why the heck not??!!
