Machine Shop
The Vehicle Bay is the Tempest Dynasty's vehicle production building in Tempest Rising.[1]
Background
The pride of the Tempest Dynasty are their factories. Advances in fabrication technology combined with decades of research into process efficiency meet in the Machine Shop, where new tools for peace and war are rapidly assembled and sent out for use. It is in Machine Shops that the Dynasty’s Tempest Rigs are built, making them a near-irreplaceable component of any combat or harvesting operation. As such, the Machine Shop is often the first structure established when the Dynasty enter an area.
Being so critical to Dynasty war efforts, Machine Shops that have been modified to produce experimental Tempest-powered weapons of war like the Voltaic Tank or the mysterious Tempest Sphere are also outfitted with on-site automated missile defenses.[2]
Game structure
The Machine Shop is the first production building that the Dynasty can construct, as it produces the Tempest Rig for Tempest gathering.
The Defender upgrade allows the Machine Shop to produce the Voltaic Tank and the Tempest Sphere, while also gaining an automated missile launcher for defense.
