| |
| − | The '''XCOM Headquarters''' is made up of numerous facilities that are responsible for managing and supplementing the base's important strategic and research functions. The headquarters in Long War are mostly the same as in vanilla, with pretty much every facility performing the same or a similar function as in vanilla.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | The XCOM Headquarters, often referred to as the "Ant Farm", due to it's side view, is separated in two sections. The top half of the base consists of static facilities that are already available at the start of the game and are the same for every individual game. The bottom half of the base starts out mostly empty, with room to construct various additional facilities, once enough space has been excavated.

| − | ==Static facilities==
| |
| − | The top half of the base contains several crucial facilities that are automatically available at the start of the game, and remain static throughout the game.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | The static facilities supply a total of 30 power and require a total of 12 power, effectively supplying 18 power to the constructible facilities.

| − | ==Constructible facilities==
| |
| − | The bottom half of the base contains 28 sections, separated in 4 levels, where players can construct additional facilities. The middle section of each level is reserved for an [[Access Lift (LWR)|Access Lift]], leaving the remaining 24 sections available for the various other facilities.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | Two sections contain steam vents (5 sections with Japan's ''Ring of Fire'' starting bonus). [[Thermo Generator (LWR)|Thermo Generators]] can only be built in these 2 sections, though you can also build any other facility in these sections, with the exception of the [[Access Lift (LWR)|Access Lift]].
| |
| − |
| |
| − | Most facilities have an adjacency type. When 2 facilities with the same adjacency type are build adjacent to each other (either horizontal or vertical), they together provide the adjacency bonus in addition to their regular benefits. Each facility can provide the adjacency bonus more than once. A line of 3 facilities provides the adjacency bonus twice, a block of 2x2 facilities provides the adjacency bonus 4 times, and a block of 3x2 facilities provides the adjacency bonus 7 times.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | Each of these additional facilities requires maintenance, which costs a fixed amount of Credits each month, as well as a continuous Power requirement. You cannot build any new facilities if that would cause the total amount of power required for all your facilities to exceed the total amount of power supplied.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | When needed, facilities can be built more quickly than normal, by selecting the option when building the facility. This increases the Credits, Alien Alloys and Elerium costs by 50% and adds 10 Meld to the cost, but halves the construction time.

| |
| − | [[File:Empty Facilities Long War.jpg|right justify|thumb|512px|One possible starting base]]
| |
| − | At the start of the campaign, the lower half of the base contains a single [[Access Lift (LWR)|Access Lift]] in the middle of the top level, and a single [[Satellite Uplink (LWR)|Satellite Uplink]] directly left of the [[Access Lift (LWR)|Access Lift]]. The rest of the sections contain either an open space (excavated areas and natural caves) or solid ground.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | The middle column is reserved for additional [[Access Lift (LWR)|Access Lifts]]. Players can build an [[Access Lift (LWR)|Access Lift]] on a lower level to gain access to that level. The [[Access Lift (LWR)|Access Lifts]] must be connected, so the first [[Access Lift (LWR)|Access Lift]] a player builds must be at the second level, the second [[Access Lift (LWR)|Access Lift]] on the third level and the third [[Access Lift (LWR)|Access Lift]] on the final level.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | Facilities can only be constructed on sections with an open space. To construct a facility (other than an [[Access Lift (LWR)|Access Lift]]), you must have an [[Access Lift (LWR)|Access Lift]] on the same level, and have a connection to that [[Access Lift (LWR)|Access Lift]] through open spaces. Open spaces that are separated from the [[Access Lift (LWR)|Access Lift]] by solid ground are not available for the construction of new facilities.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | A section that contains solid ground can be excavated, so that it becomes an open space. To excavate a section, you must have an [[Access Lift (LWR)|Access Lift]] on the same level, and have a connection to that [[Access Lift (LWR)|Access Lift]] through open spaces. Sections with solid ground that are separated from the [[Access Lift (LWR)|Access Lift]] by other sections with solid ground are not available for excavation.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | Excavating a section takes 5 days, and the cost depends on the level the section is at. Excavations cannot be performed quickly, and do not have any maintenance once completed:
| |
| − | * Excavating a section on the top level costs 10 Credits.
| |
| − | * Excavating a section on the second level costs 20 Credits.
| |
| − | * Excavating a section on the third level costs 40 Credits.
| |
| − | * Excavating a section on the bottom level costs 80 Credits.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | ==Layout==
| |
| − | [[File:2015-01-21 00001.jpg|right justify|thumb|512px|An example of end-game base layout.]]
| |
| − | There are a total of 24 sections available for facilities, not counting the [[Access Lift (LWR)|Access Lifts]]. To make optimal use of the adjacency bonuses, it is important that players plan the layout of their facilities ahead of time, to optimize adjacency bonuses. Since there are 4 different adjacency types, it's only natural to assign each adjacency type to it's own quarter:
| |
| − | * [[Laboratory (LWR)|Laboratories]], which include the [[Genetics Lab (LWR)|Genetics Lab]] and the [[Psionic Labs (LWR)|Psionic Labs]].
| |
| − | * [[Workshop (LWR)|Workshops]], which include the [[Foundry (LWR)|Foundry]] and the [[Repair Bay (LWR)|Repair Bay]].
| |
| − | * Power generators, which include [[Fission Generator (LWR)|Fission Generators]], [[Thermo Generator (LWR)|Thermo Generators]] and [[Elerium Generator (LWR)|Elerium Generators]].
| |
| − | * Satellite support, which include [[Satellite Uplink (LWR)|Satellite Uplinks]] and [[Satellite Nexus (LWR)|Satellite Nexuses]].
| |
| − |
| |
| − | Do note: the four quadrants are effectively interchangeable - save for that the OTS, Hyperwave Relay, Foundry, and Gollop Chamber cannot be moved once their construction is complete, and moving Alien Containment will require euthanizing any captive aliens. And of course, you cannot remove satellite facilities if doing so would reduce your capacity below however many you have up, nor remove power facilities below your current power requirement.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | Players start with a [[Satellite Uplink (LWR)|Satellite Uplink]] directly left of the first [[Access Lift (LWR)|Access Lift]]. Players that want to eventually have a satellite in orbit for each council member need a total of 16 satellites. The most efficient way of supporting this, is by building 3 [[Satellite Uplink (LWR)|Satellite Uplinks]] (3 maximum satellites) and 3 [[Satellite Nexus (LWR)|Satellite Nexuses]] (6 maximum satellites) in a 3x2 pattern for 7 adjacency bonuses (7 maximum satellites), which provides them with a total of 16 maximum satellites. This means that the entire top left quarter can be reserved for satellite support, while leaving room for a 2x2 Elerium Generator block. Alternatively, one could build the satellite hub as two facilities across, and three down, allowing non-adjacency facilities (such as the officer training school and alien containment) to be built vertically down the leftmost edge, which can be an attractive use of upper-space, if those facilities are a priority.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | Steam vents can provide a great boost to power during the early months of the game, thanks to [[Thermo Generator (LWR)|Thermo Generators]], so the quarter that players reserve for their Power generators should contain at least one steam vent. It can be beneficial to restart the campaign until both steam vents are close to each other in the same quarter of the base, but keep in mind that [[Elerium Generator (LWR)|Elerium Generators]] supply more power than [[Thermo Generator (LWR)|Thermo Generators]] and do not have placement requirements, so steam vents can be ignored in the long run.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | Steam vents are generally found at the bottom half of the base, which may take a while to expand to. Players should not hesitate to build [[Fission Generator (LWR)|Fission Generators]] at the top of the base during the early months, to provide enough supply for their early buildings, and then tear these down once there are enough [[Thermo Generator (LWR)|Thermo Generators]] and [[Elerium Generator (LWR)|Elerium Generators]] in place, as [[Fission Generator (LWR)|Fission Generators]] are very inefficient once players are getting tight for space.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | With the top left quarter reserved for Satellite support and one of the bottom quarters reserved for Power generators, the remaining two quarters are available for [[Laboratory (LWR)|Laboratories]] and [[Workshop (LWR)|Workshops]]. Players should reserve the top right quarter for the adjacency type they want to focus on during the early game, and reserve the remaining quarter at the bottom for the other adjacency type.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | Alternatively, if players are reserving the bottom left quarter for Power generators, they could reserve vertical lines for their [[Laboratory (LWR)|Laboratories]] and [[Workshop (LWR)|Workshops]]. While this is slightly less efficient for the adjacency bonuses, it allows players to build essential buildings of either type before expanding to the third level.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | Players should keep in mind that they also need to reserve space for the [[Officer Training School (LWR)|Officer Training School]], the [[Alien Containment (LWR)|Alien Containment]], the [[Hyperwave Relay (LWR)|Hyperwave Relay]] and the [[Gollop Chamber (LWR)|Gollop Chamber]]. These buildings have no adjacency type, and thus can be built in any quarter where players are not planning to use all 6 sections for the adjacency type. Thus, it may be ideal to 'reserve' two spots in the Lab quadrant for the Chamber and Hyperwave, as these are likely to be the last two facilities you will build, their spots can be taken up by two additional Labs ''in the meantime'': you'll want the boost to research to complete as many projects as you can before preparing for the final act of the war anyways. Once all research is complete in endgame, it won't set you back anything to tear down two to make room for the Hyperwave and the Chamber.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | If you go with a 2x4 configuration of the Foundry, the Repair Bay, and 6 Workshops (as recommended in [[XCOM_Headquarters_(EU2012)#Adjacency_Bonuses|Vanilla]]), you will end up with about a 46-48% refund in Elerium and Alloys from any builds in Engineering; this is fairly close to the listed 50% rebate maximum, and without crowding out the other facilities you'll be needing. Note that this does not include ''credits'', so it is not quite "buy two get one free."
| |
| − |
| |
| − | ==Power==
| |
| − | Since there are only 24 sections available, it helps to calculate beforehand how many Power generators players require. Keep in mind that the [[Facilities (LWR)#static facilities|static facilities]] require 12 power and supply 30 power. For example, players may want to construct the following list of facilities:
| |
| − | * The [[Facilities (LWR)#static facilities|static facilities]] require a total of 12 power.
| |
| − | * 4 [[Access Lift (LWR)|Access Lifts]] require a total of 4 power.
| |
| − | * 3 [[Laboratory (LWR)|Laboratories]] require a total of 12 power.
| |
| − | * The [[Genetics Lab (LWR)|Genetics Lab]] requires 4 power.
| |
| − | * The [[Psionic Labs (LWR)|Psionic Labs]] require 6 power.
| |
| − | * 3 [[Workshop (LWR)|Workshops]] require a total of 12 power.
| |
| − | * The [[Foundry (LWR)|Foundry]] requires 6 power.
| |
| − | * The [[Repair Bay (LWR)|Repair Bay]] requires 4 power.
| |
| − | * The [[Officer Training School (LWR)|Officer Training School]] requires 1 power.
| |
| − | * 3 [[Satellite Uplink (LWR)|Satellite Uplinks]] require a total of 24 power.
| |
| − | * 3 [[Satellite Nexus (LWR)|Satellite Nexuses]] require a total of 24 power.
| |
| − | * The [[Alien Containment (LWR)|Alien Containment]] requires 10 power.
| |
| − | * The [[Hyperwave Relay (LWR)|Hyperwave Relay]] requires 15 power.
| |
| − | * The [[Gollop Chamber (LWR)|Gollop Chamber]] requires 35 power.
| |
| − | These facilities together take up 20 sections, leaving 4 for Power generators, and require a total of 169 power. The [[Facilities (LWR)#static facilities|static facilities]] supply 30 power, so an additional 139 power is required. Any arrangement of 4 [[Elerium Generator (LWR)|Elerium Generators]] (140 power) will supply the needed power without the need for adjacency bonuses.
| |
| − | Alternatively, you can keep one [[Thermo Generator (LWR)|Thermo Generator]] (25 power), and connect to it 3 more [[Elerium Generator (LWR)|Elerium Generators]] (105 power) to get at least 3 adjacency bonuses (9 power). This configuration will supply the needed 139 power, exactly.

| − | On the other hand, since the [[Gollop Chamber (LWR)|Gollop Chamber]] is by far the most power consuming building, and is only required at the very end of the campaign, players could focus on a base without the [[Gollop Chamber (LWR)|Gollop Chamber]]. When it's time to end the campaign, tear down several buildings to provide both space and power for the [[Gollop Chamber (LWR)|Gollop Chamber]]:
| |
| − | * The [[Facilities (LWR)#static facilities|static facilities]] require a total of 12 power.
| |
| − | * 4 [[Access Lift (LWR)|Access Lifts]] require a total of 4 power.
| |
| − | * 3 [[Laboratory (LWR)|Laboratories]] require a total of 12 power.
| |
| − | * The [[Genetics Lab (LWR)|Genetics Lab]] requires 4 power.
| |
| − | * The [[Psionic Labs (LWR)|Psionic Labs]] require 6 power.
| |
| − | * 4 [[Workshop (LWR)|Workshops]] require a total of 16 power.
| |
| − | * The [[Foundry (LWR)|Foundry]] requires 6 power.
| |
| − | * The [[Repair Bay (LWR)|Repair Bay]] requires 4 power.
| |
| − | * The [[Officer Training School (LWR)|Officer Training School]] requires 1 power.
| |
| − | * 3 [[Satellite Uplink (LWR)|Satellite Uplinks]] require a total of 24 power.
| |
| − | * 3 [[Satellite Nexus (LWR)|Satellite Nexuses]] require a total of 24 power.
| |
| − | * The [[Alien Containment (LWR)|Alien Containment]] requires 10 power.
| |
| − | * The [[Hyperwave Relay (LWR)|Hyperwave Relay]] requires 15 power.
| |
| − | These facilities together take up 20 sections, leaving 4 for Power generators, and require a total of 138 power. The [[Facilities (LWR)#static facilities|static facilities]] supply 30 power, so an additional 108 power is required. 2 [[Thermo Generator (LWR)|Thermo Generators]] (50 power) and 2 [[Elerium Generator (LWR)|Elerium Generators]] (70 power) provide a total of 120 power – enough to supply the needed power without any adjacency bonuses. Or even 2 [[Elerium Generator (LWR)|Elerium Generators]] (70 power), 1 [[Thermo Generator (LWR)|Thermo Generator]] (25), and 1 [[Fission Generator (LWR)|Fission Generator]] (8 power) adds up to 103 power, requiring only two adjacency bonuses (+6) to reach the target. Then simply tear down the [[Fission Generator (LWR)|Fission Generator]] and replace it with an [[Elerium Generator (LWR)|Elerium Generator]] when you're ready to build the [[Gollop Chamber (LWR)|Gollop Chamber]].
