Factories in the Upland metaverse play an important role in the Upland economy. Spark is the resource that not only builds the factory, but acts as a factory worker to build items such as map assets, karts, structure ornaments and any other non-living item. Everything you need to know about manufacturing and setting up a metaventure in Upland can be found here.
Factories function in a different manner compared to other structures. As you begin your construction, you must define your inventory lot. This is a rectangular space on the property but not overlapping the factory itself where the manufactured items themselves are placed and stored after they have completed production. These items will have to be shipped to showrooms to be sold. Pro tip – when you start construction of a factory, write down your inventory lot size.
Below you can see the space requirement for the different sized factories, and the maximum spark staking for item production. It is really important to know that Upland will not be able to accommodate factory transfers if a player decides they want to upgrade their metaventure to a larger factory, so please carefully consider which size of factory you want to build.
Once you have successfully opened your factory metaventure, each item you wish to manufacture must be submitted for approval individually. Learn more about the design guidelines here.
