Any drawbacks for building 2nd Factory?

[Brand Marrow]

I vaguely remember some warning that when you build the second factory, you can't build higher lvl factory units until both factories are upgraded.....Is this accurate? I would be really pissed if I built a second factory and all of sudden couldn't produce mrk3 tanks....

Nb4powerup ?

The first factory will continue to work as it did, but you won't be able to produce HT in the second factory until its upgraded

The only bug right now is that you can't upgrade factory units unless BOTH factories are of the appropriate level.

 

[Brand Marrow]

Thanks Quo, that's the bug I was vaguely remembering.... so I'm gonna wait until i have fully upgraded my units before setting up 2nd factory... unless that fix that sucky bug!

 

[Nb4powerup]

Looking in to this further, I'll keep everyone updated when I have more information.

The only bug right now is that you can't upgrade factory units unless BOTH factories are of the appropriate level.

Are you sure it need BOTH or just the latest factory upgrade? For example when you have a level 2 factory and build another factory, can you do heavy tank 3 research after you upgrade your first factory to level 3?

I confirm this HUGE BUG!!!

 

[Yellowmar]

Yes i built the second factory and now i can not update my ht and bazooka even though my first factory is at lvl 4.

 

[Brand Marrow]

Bummer! Nexon better fix this before the wrath of the Monkey God descends on them....

This is a bug and a fix is already in the works. Head on over to the 'known issues' thread if you want updates on other issues.

It's a bummer that you can't upgrade any factory units until you bring up your 2nd factory on par with the 1st.

But what I don't understand is what is the purpose of having the 2nd factory starting at level 1 if you can still build lvl3 HTs in it?

Unlike barracks... you upgrade the barracks for troop space. Not unlocking troop upgrades. That's not the case for factories.... you upgrade the factory to unlock upgrades. Not troop space.

That being said. Why would anyone, once the factory unit upgrading bug is fixed, would want to upgrade the 2nd factory anyway?!? It's just illogical!

I think Nexon made a boo boo on this one. Once again, rushing to launch something without thinking things through.

Resistance ch4 allows you get a heavy tank when factory is destroyed. The lvl of the heavy tank spawning after the factory is destroyed depends on the level of the highest level bunker, so when you have a lvl 3 bunker and a lvl 1 bunker, then the heavy tanks spawning from any trashed factory is going to be mk3.
It is not a bad idea to have two factories just taking the above into consideration

 

[BV123]

I get that radzeer. I guess if you already have a mk3 HT or any maxed factory troop you are using, you would want to get that extra factory. But with the factory troop upgrade bug still persisting, I suggest holding off on that 2nd factory for the time being.

 

[Ravenlord]

And Radzeer this would only work if you're being attacked by someone after maximum destruction. Almost every attack against me is for some quick rss, a medal drop or TC snipe.
I guess getting the 2nd factory depends on where you are on the league rankings and what type of attacks you get on your particular base layout .....

 

[Radzeer]

well if you don't War, it's useless, but then on you are missing the xcitment imho

 

[Slandis]

So I have resistance completed - if I make a second factory will it produce mk2 heavy tanks when destroyed ? Even tho it's level one - btw my highest bunker is level 2, producing mk2 HT

War! Dudes, ya want to hinder your attackers any way ya can! More buildings, yeah thats more time off the clock. More defenders popping out of something, yeah thats hindering that attacker's troops if not,,,,,,,,,,killing them!

All ya gotta do is think bout it ;-]

 

[JuDomines]

I love attacking global age player with 2 factories in war. It's instant 2 additional HTs in my roster very early in the game.

 

[Brand Marrow]

yes, but then you gotta contend with the other's that spawn from bunkers...how many betrayals do you carry in war?

 

[JuDomines]

4 betrayal, 3 sabotage (army: 4 HT mk3, 4 howies, 8 footroops)
