The Matter Converter is a Structure that acts as the nucleus of your base. and to convert energy collected from lava pits by Hover Trucks into Meta Joules. Conceptually they are also used as spacecrafts to land on planets or asteroids.
Additionally, it creates a green defense grid which activates defensive bonuses on buildings inside it and can be extended by Defense Relays.
The Matter Converter is also the base requirement for all other units or structures. Without it, no other buildings, combot parts or vehicles can be built.
Special use during the campaign[]
In a few missions during the campaign, the Matter Converter has the option to Blast-Off.
The player has to send a combot crew into it and once they enter, the player can initiate the order. After doing so, the Matter Converter will prepare for take off, which requires a few moments of time to exit the planet and finish the mission.
