About this app

Mech Factory offers a searchable, categorized database of Classic BT units with relevant stats and record sheets. It provides information about components and their board game rules, and contains brief descriptions about the CBT powers, fractions, clans, worlds and history.
Beside the library the app features Mech, Combat and Support Vehicle, Aerospace, Battle Armor, ProtoMech and Infantry Editors, a Roster Creator, a Virtual Record Sheet system and a simplified combat trial simulation to test out new or existing designs.
Simple graphics help cards and a more detailed video tutorial will guide your first steps.

Because this app uses the database of the Mech Factory (https://battletech.rpg.hu), it requires internet access to download larger texts or pictures. After you downloaded a design, it will remain on your device, and it will be accessible offline. To enable content downloading you have to register your free account on the Mech Factory (if you don't have it already). With a valid Mech Factory user name you can use both the web page and the mobile app.

NOTE: Registration is needed to use all the features. That policy we cannot change - it is mostly due security reasons. Read our privacy policy about that, if you are worried about your data. If you have technical problems with registration, please send us your report.
(As a quick fix, please try to uninstall/install, and then register. It might help. Be sure that you are online during the registration process.)

Ratings and reviews

Great mobile tool for Battletech, it is always being updated, expanded, and improved upon. If you ever run into any issues, with any part of this app, make sure to get in touch with the developer. They are very dedicated and hard working, and will keep at it in order to help solve your problem, even going as far as to debug the app itself for you. Outstanding work, I completely recomend downloading and supporting!

I've been using this for months to keep track of my mechs, modify canon designs, or make my own, and it's worked great, both as a mech creation tool and a resource for quick reference. If it had the tools to make tripod mechs and superheavies, I'd rate it 5 stars, but as those features are presently absent and unlikely to be added anytime soon, the software presently doesn't quite do everything I'd need it to. That said, it's a relatively minor issue so I still strongly recommend this app.

This app is a must for any battletech rpg player, as it has references for nearly every unit and it's variants in the palm of your hands. No printing required, and with its tools to design game legal units through its editors and comprehensive equipment and weapons dictionary is simplifies the gaming experience. Only downside I have found so far is that it does not seem to be apple phone capable.
