What are factories?

A factory is a farm that allows you to have a reliable, constant source of income on Minecraft Breakdown.
Unlike farms you know from vanilla, you don't need to be online or nearby for the factory to work. Also there are ways of protecting the factory from thieves.

Once you have a factory (as item) you can place it anywhere in the wilderness and it will then build a 16x16 structure. When holding the factory item in your hand, you will see a preview of where it will be placed. Make sure the terrain is smooth enough. We strongly recommend you to place your factory on claimed territory (next to your main base).

If the factory undamaged it will start producing items and you can access the storage by clicking the sign inside the factory.

As soon as the factory is placed it's no longer possible to place or break blocks there. To protect it against enemies, you need to have it on claimed main base territory. Like your base, the factory will be protected against explosives (except during raid session).
When your base flag is stolen or your factory is not on faction territory, enemies can:
- Claim the factory and become its new owner.
- Empty the storage if they get access to the factory.
- Detonate a C4 explosive in the center of the factory. This will blow up and disable the factory. Some factory parts will be destroyed and there is a chance of them to drop. To fix the factory you will have to replace all parts and pay some repair cost.
To further protect the factory, most of them offer the "unlock outer layer" upgrade. Only possible for factories on main base territory, this allows you to place (base building) blocks along the chunk edges of the factory. Don't worry, the factory will continue working even though you are editing it. Make sure the blocks are placed INSIDE the factory chunk (so effectively a 16x16 wall). You can also add a roof starting at a certain height - it needs to be glass for some types of factories.

Crafting factories

Every factory needs certain parts to be crafted. They always exist of:
- One or more foundation items, which can only be bought in the shop (at the Base Utilities trader). There are 3 different levels of foundation items. If you want to build a more advanced factory, you will need a higher leveled foundation.
- Factory specific parts, which cannot be bought and must be found or traded from other players. These parts spawn in NPC cities, while some of them are extremely rare. Check out the auction NPCs if you think about buying or selling parts.
Some parts can also be stolen from intact enemy factories by detonating a C4 in the center.
