Construction Yard complete

To begin building your base, you must have a Construction Yard. Unless the Construction

Yard is set up when the mission begins, you’ll have to deploy the Mobile Construction Vehicle

(MCV). Left click on the MCV and move it to where you want the Construction Yard to be

placed. If you try to deploy the MCV where there isn’t enough room, the deploy cursor will

not appear. If there is enough room, left click to deploy the MCV, and it’ll turn into a

Construction Yard.

Once the Construction Yard is set up, the Sidebar will pop up. In the upper portion of the

Sidebar, you will see the symbol of your side (GDI or Nod). Later, this area becomes a radar

display, when you’ve built a Radar Facility and have enough power to support it.

Below the radar display is a row of three buttons.These are the REPAIR, SELL, and MAP but-

tons. Each of the buttons has a specific game function that is discussed later in this section.

Underneath the REPAIR, SELL, and MAP buttons are two columns of icons. The left column

displays which structures your Construction Yard can build; the right column displays the

units you can create. The arrow buttons at the bottom of these icons allow you to scroll through

these when there are more than four available.
