Additional Info

 * To collect a single MF Left Click it and then select the yellow "Collect ##,###" Button.
 * All Metal Factories may be collected simultaneously by Left Clicking anyone  of the them and selecting "Collect All".
 * The MF does not have to be full to be collected. A common practice is to collect or "reset" them prior to logging off thus allowing it to produce for the maximum amount of time before the player can log back in.
 * As the player's upgrade needs rise in levels the usefulness of the metal factory diminishes forcing the player to seek additional resources elsewhere ( Enemy Player Bases, Rogue Bases or Deposits ).
 * It would take 5 Metal Factories @ level 10 a total of 5.26 Days to produce enough metal to upgrade the CC to level 6. Assuming the player was online at least once every 12 hours to collect them.
 * Many players eventually cease collecting the MF's over concerns about the amount of power the consume.
 * Fortunately even when not producing the MF's can be useful to the player as a form of barricade.  As with all non destroyed buildings a attacking ground force will usually make a path around it assisting the defending player in herding the enemy into a exposed positions or slowing their forward progress.
 * Metal Factories like the Oil Pump's are usually considered low priority when designing a base defense due to the relatively low amounts of resources they hold.
 * Like any other Kixeye games the resource used to upgrade the building is never the resource that the building produces.


 * However unlike in other Kixeye Games as War Commander is geared towards War these producers barely give any resources and consume too much power.
