Vernygora Research Facility

Welcome to Vernygora Research Facility!

This fine establishment serves as current research center for Ci4 faction (read as Sich). It was firstly purpose built as a secret missile development facility. Ci4, a faction consisting only of Ukrainian nationals, has a lot of enemies in the deep space, and the location for the base was chosen to be on one far away alien world, in a seclusion of sandy valley.

Since then, the facility has seen a lot of use, but after Factorum had revealed itself, Ci4 saw the potential in their technology. Knowledge is power, and Vernygora facility was somewhat repurposed. It's expansive propulsion lab was partly reconstructed to fit new scientific equipment, and the old embedded technology was given new tasks.

Ci4 brings some of it's Prototech here to be studied in terms of it's structure, composition, function, durability, and to seek possible ways to manufacture the arcane devices of Factorum without using their assembly machines. And given some of old propulsion testing equipment is still there - jet propulsion and missile testing tasks are being performed as well, but as a lower priority.

And with that I end the LORE portion.

The base is a mountain bunker, fully stocked with EVERYTHING you need to survive and thrive. Interior is fully pressurized - I assure you. However, due to big volumes of controlled air - sometimes game forgets the state of a particular room and it will appear as either outside air, or vacuum. I have tried to compartmentalize the facility as much as possible, by installing interior button operated airlocks, both walkways and road vehicles.

The facility is designed to be traversed in rovers. A number of rovers is provided: forklifts, flat-bed trucks, medical SUVs and passenger SUVs, quadro-cycles.

Cranes that you will see - are usable. They are controlled by WASD and toolbar actions. Their toolbars are usually have an explanation in a cockpit LCD.

Some experiments in research part of the base are interactive. Examine tooltips on buttons to see what does what. LCDs nearby also provide additional info on operations. And remember, jet propulsion carets are old tech, the first button has to be pressed twice, it's sticky :).

You will need to join the Ci4 faction to spawn in the medical room outside at the airfield. Medbay in the base is simply turned off and is functional.
