Factory

From HBM's Nuclear Tech Wiki

The factory is a self-explanatory structure in a surprisingly good condition. The entrance being blocked off by steel scaffolds and some faux machines inside being slightly damaged, but otherwise it is one of the least damaged structures in the game that offers some basic machines to help get started such as furnaces.

Where to find

It is pretty common and can generate in any biome.

Dangers

The explosive barrels near the walls, as well as the lava from the lava smeltery.

Loot

There are 4 loot chests and lots of usable machines.

Chests

There are three chests on the factory floor that contain common loot including batteries, bullets, and biofuel.

The other chest, located under the lava in the chimney, contains weapon-related loot.

Blocks

Generally could be used to recycle all steel walls, bricks, and cobwebs depending on what you want.

Refurbishing

Other than the one titanium factory, the factory is completely undamaged, making refurbishing extremely easy. Finding one of these early on is quite good as you have:

  • A large and sturdy shelter
  • Plenty of machines that would otherwise take lots of time and resources to build
  • A lot of room for renovating and building
  • Good loot for early game including bullets, and guns

You could also mine all of the blocks and machines and put them into your own mud hut of a house like a savage barbarian.
