Engineer
3 builds
Pocket Factory adds flat Engineering and spawns extra turrets when you kill trees, perfectly matching Engineer's structure-heavy kit and turning map exploration into more automated firepower.
Explorer
3 builds
Pocket Factory converts Explorer's tree farming into permanent turret structures, giving strong Engineering-scaling damage that ignores his base damage penalty.
Technomage
3 builds
Pocket Factory gives engineering and spawns extra turrets from trees, directly increasing your structure count and therefore your elemental damage and structure attack speed through Technomage’s passive.
Dwarf
