Production from scratch

HC-7 “Ballista”

One batch means one cycle of the selected recipe, one factory crate or one complete selected MPF order. Travel and queue waits are excluded.

Crafting time only

Known stages: 2 h 23 min 25 sec
Plus stages without a fixed duration: HC-2 “Scorpion”.

Sum of production cycles performed sequentially. Excludes harvesting, travel, queues and loading. Independent stages can run in parallel. Manual garage construction and recipes without listed durations are excluded; this is not the complete chain duration.

Follow the steps from top to bottom: raw materials, intermediates, then the final item. Skip preparation for resources you already have.

Refuel and bring the required equipment before driving. Assembly station upgrades require an ordinary base chassis; prototypes and higher-tier vehicles may not work.

Where to deliver finished crates

Submit to a base — unpack for players

Drive to the base and open its menu with E, right-click the crate in your inventory and choose Submit to Stockpile. For all crates, use Submit All to Stockpile. The crates unpack and their contents enter the base’s public stockpile.

Store at a depot or seaport

In Storage Depot or Seaport crates remain packed. For Legion supplies, open the correct Reserve Stockpile using its code. Before submitting, make sure you selected it rather than the public stockpile. Only crates marked Reservable may enter a reserve: check the item tooltip. Reserves expire, so monitor and refresh their timers.

Submitting to public stock irreversibly removes reservability. The crate becomes public. You can retrieve it, but cannot put it in a private stockpile again, even at another depot. Check the selected stockpile before submitting.

Sources: submitting to bases, crates, reservability. Vehicle crates use separate unpacking rules; the instructions above concern item crates.
