Manufacturing
Manufacturing units is similar to building structures. The buildings that can build structures are Factories, Cyborg Factories and VTOL Factories.
Building a Unit
To manufacture a unit, you need to press the Manufacture button. A Fast Find bar will open at the bottom of the screen, between the radar and the Command Panel.
The bottom row of the two contains every Factory, Cyborg Factory and VTOL Factory built. Clicking it will zoom the camera to the structure.
To manufacture a unit, click the space above a factory. If this factory is capable of building a unit, it will appear in a menu on the left side of the screen.
A factory can only build a unit if the body of a unit is a certain type (unit/cyborg/VTOL), and if the factory has enough modules applied.
Queueing Units
You can build up to nine units by repeatedly clicking the unit. You can also right-click the unit to lower the amount of units to build Š right-clicking on a unit with no units queued will set the queue to 9.
Building Status
While a unit is building, the Fast Find bar above the factory building the unit will be displayed. If the bar is green, the unit is gathering power to build the unit. If the bar is yellow, the unit is building.
Rally Points
When the unit is done building, it will spawn next to the factory, then proceed to a rally point. A rally point is created when a factory is made. Right-clicking on the factory in the bottom Fast Find row will centre the camera on a spawn point. Clicking a rally point will allow you to move it in a similar way to building a structure. Please note that moving a rally point while a unit is moving to one will not affect itÕs path.
Rally points (clockwise, from top left): Cyborg rally point, Factory rally point, Repair Facility, VTOL rally point
Looped production
You can also set looped production by left and right clicking the loop button in the left column near the top. This repeats the build sequence you set the amount of times shown next to the button. This can be set to infinite by right-clicking when the number reads zero.

Note that, in single player mode, there is a hard limit of 100 units total.
This applies only to the player (the computer can build up to 999 units), and only to units produced by a factory: bonus units obtained through scripted events can exceed this limit, but they will still count toward the total, so even if you lose one or more of these you production will stay blocked until your total number of units decreases below 100.
When you build your 101st unit, you will receive the following message: "Command Control Limit Reached - Production Halted": no more units will be created until you recycle (or lose) enough units that your total goes below 100.
In multiplayer mode, the limit is 150 per player.
Trucks are also limited (to 15), and trying to build more will result in the same warning.
