Factory

 
The Factory produces Terran ground assault vehicles, from the speedy Vulture Hoverbike to the awesome Arclite Siege Tank. Build this structure as soon as you've fortified your infantry defenses. Build a Machine Shop attachment as soon as you can to upgrade your Siege Tanks and Vultures with useful enhancements. Be sure to build an additional Factory when resources allow. Siege Tanks and Goliaths are slow to produce, so you need at least two Factories turning them out to build a strong attack force. The Factory can lift off and fly.

Machine Shop (Factory add-on)

 
This inexpensive yet heavily armored add-on lets you research several critical enhancements for your vehicles. Spider Mines are a crucial addition to your Vultures, debatably more useful than the Vultures themselves. Ion Thrusters make the naturally quick Vultures the single fastest land unit anywhere. Siege Tech is imperative for your Siege Tanks, letting them change into deadly artillery cannons at will. Build this add-on only after you construct a few Vultures since you cannot produce units while the Machine Shop is being constructed. Then, get to researching Spider Mines, and once finished, those Vultures you've already built will be equipped with the mines.
