Deployment

Confirmed Established — fromdocs/sources/demo/raw/AbilitiesRTS.AbilityConfig.json / McvDeploy, build 23882143

What it is

This Deployment entry uses the description “The object expands into a static object. In static mode, it folds back into a mobile object.” from build 23882143. It is linked to both the MCV and TRM Silach, so its internal name should not be read as an exclusive assignment to a single vehicle. The linked placement components record the static and mobile states and the ground required by the objects. This supports relocation, but does not establish identical production behaviour during the transition. Compare the MCV and TRM pages before treating their roles or deployment choices as interchangeable.

Where it comes from

The MCV costs 1 000 minerals and has 1 900 base hit points with 15 armour in build 23882143. Its entry describes base construction and links to production as well as a security call. The same armour value, 15, appears on the Combine, whose price is 100 minerals, but this comparison does not rank their strategic value. The MCV’s role comes from its construction functions, not from being the sole producer in the files. Read its full page for the buildings it can create and its additional resources.

How it is actually used

Relocating the MCV changes where you can organise base construction. Its 1 000-mineral price and 15 armour make the route worth checking before moving into danger. The deployment description allows folding back, while the linked components contain placement checks; neither establishes a safe transformation time. The vehicle also has a security call in its data, so a missing ordinary weapon entry does not mean it has no means of support. Compare the MCV’s construction and security pages when deciding how to protect the move.

How to beat it

An exposed MCV can be a useful target because of its construction role, but it is not automatically helpless. It has 15 armour and costs 1 000 minerals; the linked security call must also be considered. Its area-resistance coefficient is 0.2, which does not establish how much artillery damage it receives. The files inspected here do not define a vulnerability window during deployment or prove that every production function stops while moving. Check the MCV page and the defenders present before committing an attack.
