Welcome to Gaia! ::

Engineer:
Engineers are normally used for these purposes:

* To capture enemy structures. An Engineer was trained to be familiar with the standardized computer equipment present in most structures, particularly the master control terminal. The most highly trained engineers memorized blue prints of the structures, and then used small explosive charges to break their way in. These engineers were capable of taking over enemy structures almost instantly. The Engineer is required to stay at the MCT and operate the structure from that point onward, but this did not prevent rival engineers from attempting to recapture the structure. The vast majority of the time, the Engineer was busy operating the structure, and didn't notice as a rival engineer would sneak up on him and remove him from the picture, then operating the structure himself.

* To repair bridges and structures. Because of the need to carry light loads in combat, the supplies and tools used are used up in this process.

* To maintain equipment, armor, weapons and vehicles using their tools.

* They can repair and capture downed mechs.

* Engineers are typically given pistols in combat situations. However, they are not very effective and cannot even breach most body armor. Their body armor is also unfortunately obsolete against most modern weaponry.

* Engineers are given an instruction book called the "Engineer Combat Primer". This gives them advice in battle and on repairing and capturing buildings. It also gives them the immortal tip to "always wear your hardhat".

Tiberium Refinery:
A Tiberium refinery is a facility that refines harvested Tiberium and extracts the raw material from the crystals for processing. The process is hazardous to humans, and only qualified workers wearing HazMat suits are permitted in the facility. The crucial element of a refinery is a Harvester, which collects the tiberium crystals by simply ripping them from the ground and later delivers their load to the refinery, unloaded via a specially designed dock.

Tiberium Silo:
Tiberium Silos are prefabricated structures that are used to store excess Tiberium that Tiberium Refineries can not hold.



Tiberium Harvester:
A Harvester is a large, heavily armored vehicle designed specifically for resource collection. It is typically slow moving with a large storage space and unarmed. It is designed to harvest whatever Tiberium it can find and deliver them to a refinery for processing.
