    Naval fabbers cannot build land factories. But land and air fabbers can build all three.

    I got stuck today with maritime economy only, no way to make air or land units, lost the commander.

    When your commander is dead you are supposed to be game over anyway.
    Also I don't think there is much point for a ship to be able to build land factories, since it cant reach most of the land?

    no and no ... :ugeek:

    firstly it depends what mode you are playing, with FAF you can play assassination supremacy annihilation or sandbox, only one of those requires you not to lose your commander to stay in the game

    secondly if you had ever been stuck with no other fabbers you would realise a naval fabber only has to reach the nearest bit of land, so it can make an air, vehicle or bot factory which can then make land fabbers to go across the land terrain

    I think at the very least naval fabbers should be able to make a floating air factory. If naval has its own economy structures it should be able to expand to land.

    Feature.
    Tech 2 Engineers can't build Tech 1 stuff (except their own factory) either.

    It might change in time depending on what the PA dev's think.

    If if you play not assassination (the gamemode this game and FA are build around) you are still screwed anyway when you are only left with a bit of navy stuff. Or was your opponent in a situation just as bad?

    Keep in mind that there will be water worlds, so if you find some scattered bits of land in wich you can build for example a long range artillery, you wont be able to do it right now, same with T2 builders, you should have the ability to build T1 and T2 factories with them, not just T2.

    You could build T2 arty on water in 49186, dunno if it's still possible.

    Indeed the Tier 1 Naval Fabbers cant build Land based factories. Which is horrible if you need to build them in a pinch.
