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

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.

Hands down the best BT app. As with all small community creations, I would suggest finding their Patreon and subscribing to unlock a bunch of useful stuff. Ease of use is top notch, details almost every unit and variant of everything in the game, is constantly updated, and the team responds to bug reports and fixes issues. Great way to play around with variants or custom units, look up who to fight, and even has a game tracker for live play with sheets.

A lot of cost inaccuracies. Do not rely on this app to provide accurate information. Use an official source over this every time if you are building a list using bv or pv. Edit: Yeah, definitely not changing my review after your comment. I am not jumping through hoops beta testing this for you, its a "cute" little app but it is inaccurate. Telling me my review is unconstructive, and im just complaining makes you sound pompous. Problems I found are just lazy development.
