Factories

Similar to the real world, assets like structures or cars in Upland require time to build and produce. In Upland, cars production has been happening at the MV Motors Plant, for example. Player-owned Factories produce 3D items such as Map Assets and Structure Ornaments. ‍

All Uplanders can build a Factory on their property as long as they meet the requirements. Uplanders will be able to use Factories to produce goods for their own Metaventure or for other Metaventures run by other Uplanders. Factory owners may also wish to leverage their existing Factories to trade with other Uplanders who are eager to start production immediately, rather than wait for a Factory to be built. The decision is yours.

‍Keep in mind that storage capacity is relative to the size of the property. A bigger location will allow for greater capacity of item storage. During production, when a property is full, Factories will not produce any more items until the existing inventory has been manually moved to other properties. When space allows, production will continue.

Building a Factory

Step 1: Go to your property and open the build menu. Then “Small Factory I” (or another Factory size if desired).

Step 2: Position the Factory on your lot per usual. Make sure this is placed in a corner or away from the center of the property to allow for the maximum space to draw your inventory lot in the next step.

Step 3: Confirm positioning and placement of the Factory

Step 4: Position your Inventory Lot by dragging the green area to your desired location. Re-size and re-shape the Inventory Lot by using the four arrows. You can also use the icons on the right side of the screen to adjust the Inventory Lot lines.

Step 5: Confirm Inventory Lot position and sizing. When confirmed, you’ll see how much UP^2 there will be within your Inventory Lot. The Inventory Lot cannot be modified after confirmation. If the Factory is demolished and rebuilt, a new Inventory Lot can be drawn.

Step 6: After confirming the Inventory Lot size and location, stake Spark and start construction!
