Machine Shop

The machine shop is the building that the player can combine separate parts of units and rank medals into assembled units and medals for use. Upgrading this building is required in order to upgrade the helipad and defense yard.

## Unit Parts and Rank Medal Parts

Parts are gear shaped items that display what they can be crafted into on the front. Unit parts can be found in raid chests, weekly events, dark ops, and daily rewards from the two leagues. Rank medal parts can be found in onslaughts and as rewards from weekly results from the two leagues. In the case of a unit, separate blueprints exist for the different manufacturers if parts exist. For example, the player can craft a Harvestman, but blueprints exist for a greenbrake variant and bluesteel variant, meaning the player must specifically collect enough bluesteel or greenbrake Harvestman parts in order to craft the unit. Tapping on a blueprint and then tapping on the amount of parts needed on the side will tell the player where they can find more.

## Crafting

To start crafting, the player must first have collected enough parts for a specific unit or rank medal. Depending on what the player wants to craft, the player would need different amounts of resources. The resources needed to craft is the same for all units of the same natural rank. For example, crafting a Weevil and Ranger both use the same resources to craft. The costs of crafting units are as follows:

* 2-star unit - 750,000 cash and 5 parts required
* 3-star unit - 7.5 million cash and 20 parts required
* 4-star unit - 37.5 million cash and 50 parts required
* 5-star unit - 70 million cash and 100 parts required
* 6-star unit - 1 million dark metal, 200 gold, and 250 parts required

The costs of crafting rank medals are as follows:

* 3-star medal - 7.5 million cash and 20 parts required
* 4-star medal - 37.5 million cash and 50 parts required
* 5-star medal - 70 million cash and 80 parts required
* 6-star medal - 150 million cash and 150 parts required

## Bugs

* When the player goes to upgrade the machine shop, the description of the machine shop is still the original description stating that the player can craft new pieces of tech, which has been migrated to the hangar. It also erroneously states that by upgrading the machine shop, the player can unlock new blueprints. This is no longer true, since it was meant for the old machine shop that upgraded tech instead of crafting units like now.
* The image for the 6-star rank medal is glitched, causing some parts of the medal to become invisible at times.
* When checking where to obtain parts for natural 6-star units, all natural 6-star units with the exception of the Toleco will state that their parts can be found in dark ops, even if their parts are not in the current rotation and cannot be acquired just yet.

## Trivia

* The original purpose of the machine shop was to upgrade tech. Just like crafting units, the higher the level of the tech being crafted, the higher the cost and time needed.
	+ Not all blueprints for higher level tech were available and had to be either bought from the black market or by upgrading the machine shop.
* If crafting a unit uses up every single part the player has, the blueprint is removed upon being crafted.
