War Factory

To succeed in this huge war for supremacy, you need a strong army. This army will be built and trained on the Mech Bay. Not only is the Mech Bay used for building and training units, but it is also used for building the housekeeping the units requires.

Each unit you build has several requirements. First of all is the initial cost of constructing the unit itself, and then it needs weaponry and armor. Furthermore, every unit demands an hourly wage (see Upkeep), and it also needs housekeeping. The hourly wage is taken directly from your Terra-Xi bank account, and for the housekeeping needs you will have to build mechbays.

Mechbay construction and unit training is done on the Mech Bay screen, which is located in the Ward game menu. On the top of the screen you will find the mechbay construction area. You will see a little overview of how many mechbays you have, how many mechbay spots they have in total, and how many mechbay spots (and units) you are currently using. Remember that you need housekeeping for every unit you have, even if they aren't at the ward.

Below the mechbay construction area, you will find the unit training area. Here you enter the amount of each unit you wish to train, and then click the "Train Units" button at the bottom to start training. One useful piece of information you can use when deciding how many units to train are the numbers in the Supply column. They will tell you how many of each unit you can train, when looking at your current amount of credits and free mechbay spots.

To find out how many mechbay spots each unit requires, and their hourly wage, please consult the Mech Stats. What you're looking for are the "Size" and "Upkeep" attributes, respectively.

On the bottom of the Mech Bay screen you will find a list of units currently in training. You will be able to cancel training, and the refund rate is the same as for researches and facility constructions; 75% of the unused credits. For more details about how this works, see Science Lab.
