Grady & Brunt Factories are large structures that are randomly found throughout the DMZ in Everspace, added in the Encounters expansion. Similarly to Service Stations, they offer several services and are owned by G&B.
Activation[ | ]
The activation prompt for each power unit
Before the player is able to access the services listed below, they must first activate several power units scattered around the factory by flying close to each one and pressing the interact key. After activation, the services will be activated and G&B freighters will start jumping in and out.
There is a rare (10%) chance of a factory already being powered up.
Services[ | ]
Each factory has at least two services, the Ship Tuning Station and Refinery, with a chance for a third: the Repair Bay. If G&B is hostile to the player or there are Outlaws nearby, the services will be unavailable and special factory turrets will fire at any enemies to the G&B.
Similarly to Service Stations, services will be closed when enemies to G&B are nearby or if they consider the player hostile. Factories are equipped with Factory Defense System missile turrets.
Tuning Station[ | ]
The tuning station offers a choice between three random temporary or permanent (in the current run) upgrades in exhange for credits or resources. Once selected, upgrades can be viewed in the Data screen in the menu, in the "Ship Upgrades" tab. There are 17 total upgrades, listed below:
