War Factory footprint

Askhati · Jumpjet Infantry **Joined**: 22 Dec 2009

The short of my question is this: does any UnitFactory=yes (ie a War Factory) building need to have a 4x3 foundation, or can it be some other size? I'm working on a 2x2 War Factory idea but am currently at work, so I cannot test the implementation myself. Has anyone ever tried playing around with this?

Same goes for helipads - do they have to be 2x2, and if not, where does the aircraft land?

Warfactories work best with a 4x3 foundation. 3x3 works too. anything smaller and the unit appears next to the building.
helipads can have different foundations. 3x3 for example makes the heli land on the centre cell.

What about 3x3, with Bib=yes - will the unit then spawn in the center cell and move out over the 1x3 bib on the righthand side of the building? Or will it spawn in the leftmost column (building edge) and then move through the middle cell to exit over the bib on the right?

3x3 War factories with bibs cause problems with the unit exiting the war factory if there is another building in front of it. I highly recommend 4x3 with a bib.

2x2, with units spawning next to the structure... *ponders* Could work for a RA2-style shipyard then?

The Deso WF was, iirc 5x4.
