Missing Factories

Post by Cursed Ghost » Fri, 2. Jan 15, 18:32

hi all

I’d like a tractor beam but the factories have been completely removed, I'd also like some starburst shockwave cannons for my newly acquired Aegir only the forges have also been completely removed so I'm wondering if there a way to force GOD to undelete factories ?

More to the point wasn't this problem supposed to have been fixed already so that no matter what there will always be at least 1 forge of every type that will never get removed and will simply re spawn after a period of time if its blown up to prevent the permanent removal of things from the game either by GOD or by enemy action

It was fixed as far as I remember. So there's a chance it got moved to a new place and you haven't been there or re-visited the place since it got placed there. One of tractor beam forges should also be permanent as far as I recall. Don't recall the sector tho.

The Tractor Beam Factory in Third Redemption is always well-kept by the
Paranids, I've never seen it despawning or getting destroyed in any of my
saves. Did you tried this sector already?

If your game is patched up to date the fabs in Third Redemption should be there. They have a sort of immunity.

If you're not adverse to a little piracy, you could head to Haktikvah's Faith, and monitor traffic for a little while. There always seems to be Paranid traders carrying Tractor Beams even without the factories. They'll usually drop it if you 'ask' nicely enough.

On the other hand, if you want factories back, you can begin trading operations. Eventually the economic supply will grow to the where GOD will begin placing or ordering placed, new factories. The principal works for both the Tractor Beam and SSC fabs.

Also, I believe Aldrin might sell SSC's, but I'm not sure.

If you are playing AP you have a chance of finding tractor beams for sale in Albion....

Only sort of. They won't be removed by GoD, but they can, and sometimes are, destroyed by enemy attacks. However, at least one should respawn after a few game days. Yeah, it can take that long.
Have a great idea for the current or a future game? You can post it in the [L3+] Ideas forum.

Do they respawn? Or are they replaced? (Spawning vs TL delivery)

Replaced, I believe. But effectively 'respawned' since the shipyard that sells TB Facs is in the same sector, as is the Paranid Supply Hercules that probably delivers them. :wink:

True, but there's still a window to jack the TL. :twisted:
