Robotic Factory
From OGame Wiki
| Base Cost | |
| Metal: | 400 |
| Crystal: | 120 |
| Deuterium: | 200 |
| Energy: | 0 |
Robotics factories reduce the time taken to construct buildings. The base time required for construction is divided by (1 + level of Robot Factory).
Robotics factories have less of an effect for higher level upgrades. For example, the first level of a robotics factory will cut production time in half, but the ninth level will only cut the time by 1/10 of what it was at the eighth level. If a building takes 1 hour to build before you build your robotics factory, it will take 30 minutes after the factory is built, but if a building takes 1 hour to build with a level 8 robotics factory, it will take 54 minutes to build after the level 9 factory upgrade is built. Therefore, it is rarely worthwhile to upgrade the Robotics Factory beyond Level 10.
The formula for calculating the percentage of original build/upgrade time is 
(ex. Level 1 Robotics factory is 50% original time, and Level 1 + 1 = 2, and since 
, build time is x.5 the original, aka 50%.
When your factory is upgraded to level 10, you will be able (assuming that you have researched computer technology level 10) to build a Nanite Factory. Many OGame players prefer Nanite Factories because every level halves production time for buildings as well as for fleet and defense. However, Nanite Factories have a large base cost, so you will not be able to afford one until later in the game.
Is Required For:
- Shipyard (Level 2)
- Nanite Factory (Level 10)

| Level | Metal | Crystal | Deuterium | Build Time of Base[1] |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | 400 | 120 | 200 | 50.0% |
| 2 | 800 | 240 | 400 | 33.3% |
| 3 | 1,600 | 480 | 800 | 25.0% |
| 4 | 3,200 | 960 | 1,600 | 20.0% |
| 5 | 6,400 | 1,920 | 3,200 | 16.6% |
| 6 | 12,800 | 3,840 | 6,400 | 14.3% |
| 7 | 25,600 | 7,680 | 12,800 | 12.5% |
| 8 | 51,200 | 15,360 | 25,600 | 11.1% |
| 9 | 102,400 | 30,720 | 51,200 | 10.0% |
| 10 | 204,800 | 61,440 | 102,400 | 9.1% |
- ↑ Building time is reduced to this percentage. e.g. An Alliance Depot taking 1 day to build without a factory would take 12 hours to build (50% of original build time) with a level 1 Robotics factory, 6 hours ( 25% of original build time) with a level 3 Robotics Factory, 2 hours and 24 minutes (10% of original build time) with a level 9 Robotics Factory, or 2 hours 10 minutes and 55 seconds (9.1% of original build time) with a level 10 Robotics Factory.
