Construction yard (Red Alert)

The Construction Yard was a structure designed to produce other structures.

Purpose
The Construction Yard was a large building that contained a large internal space that was used for pre-fabrication purposes. Thus, when a building was ordered by a commander, the structure would be constructed in a considerably folded form, packed into a small crate, and then deployed at a given location. Due to problems involving power transmission and physical transport, structures could only be deployed next to already constructed buildings, one of which, of course, was the construction yard.

Design
Both Allies and Soviets at first used identical Construction Yards during the Great World War II, aside from the structors that were programmed to produce. Some commanders referred to them as 'conyards' for short.

But during the Great World War III they both completely redesigned their Construction Yards. Allied Construction Yard:

When Yuri resurfaced it was quickly discovered that he had his own construction yard.



Deployment of Structures
The Construction Yard appears to work by constructing the building materials into a small package inside the factory section. When the construction location is chosen, the package is carried out to the front, where it is picked up by the crane and dropped onto a small elevator. Not much is known about the construction process from this point, but it is assumed that the materials are carried underground to the location and 'unpacked', creating the structure, much in the same way the Construction Yard is created from an MCV. It is believed that existing structures grant access to certain tunnel systems or allow efficient underground transportation to an area around them.

Acquisition of Construction Yards
Whenever commanders are ordered to establish an outpost, they are given a large vehicle called the MCV, or Mobile Construction Vehicle. This vehicle was designed to transport all the necessary equipment to a construction site, and then deploy.
