For some reason, at the moment I did not received credit for Charging Station, even if I contributed.

Comment by Taoma

I found Automated Flame Turret at /way 53.52 32.92 . Next to Boggac Skullbash
Another one next to Paol Pondwader

Comment by jodmos

I've contributed and defended the Reclamation Rig twice and still do not have credit for this. Flame Turret did count.

If anyone wanted to make a whole bunch of markers with HandyNotes or something, like me, I've flown around for a couple hours and here's a bunch of coordinates for armories. I'm sure I've missed some, and I'll edit in any more I find.

Comment by dasbaum

For anyone not getting credit like me:

The requirements state "Complete the following construction projects in Mechagon."

It doesn't state "Participate in a project". That makes me think, that you get only credit if you are next to it or contribute the last items to complete the project.

The achievement requirements are linking to "NPCs" That looks like they are kill triggers. I assume they will only count towards progression if you are "part" of the kill (meaning in range), so when the NPC is despawned (technically speaking) and the new NPC version of the actual project is spawning.

Comment by Tritox

The achievement text means literally completing the project as in turn in the last item(s) which finishes the project (I completed the achievement today).

The only real problem is the Reclamation Rig with its huge resource cost and long-ish respawn time so it might require some camping and luck. While there are also only one Recharging Station, it is a bit more forgiving as the mobs tear down it quite fast and I observed its respawn time to be around 8 minutes.

Here are the resource costs for each project:

Flame Turret - 100x Spare Parts
Rustbolt Armory - 200x Spare Parts 1x Energy Cell
Drill Rig - 500x Spare Parts 2x Energy Cell
Charging Station - 750x Spare Parts 3x Energy Cell
Reclamation Rig - 3000x Spare Parts 5x Energy Cell (*)

(*) = A rough estimate because I haven't yet seen the rig without any contributions, but I will edit in the exact values later.

Comment by Thranduel

I got credit for the charging station by contributing 250 Spare Parts and 1 Energy Cell. I just stood around waiting for it to complete afterwards. For the Reclamation Rig I only contributed 1 Energy Cell and got credit for that.

I think it was buggy before when most of these comments were posted, but Blizzard made some changes. Completing most of these by yourself can be expensive (apart from the Flame Turrets), so it appears that so long as you contribute something and stay around until it's completed you'll get credit towards the achievement.

Comment by hooda100mu

Okay so this one is really really messed up coz most of the people including me think that if u have gived 250 spare bolts to the guy then itshould tick as done ,but thats not the case . To get this credit u need to wait till the station is destroyed after its destroyed just camp there coz idk the correct respawn time but some time the chargin station will show up as construction building . Now here the tricky part the achievement will only count if u finish last . It means lets say it has 4 energy cells to contribute then u contributed 1 and some other person contributed the remaining 3 , he will get the achievement u wont . You need to finish the construction ie you should be the last person to contribute that 4th energy cell or the last spare part only then u will get the achievement .

Sorry if i havent used proper english :P

Comment by Ellesmera2656

I'm confused by the last requirement for this achievement as all I need is credit with the drill rig but I haven't seen it anywhere, what am I missing?

Took Pentheraphobia's coordinates and fixed it for TomTom since it wouldn't let me post this all neatly in a reply comment!

For clarity sake, the Charging Station is one of the yellowish items you contribute to activate. It's in Bondo's Yard at 61:37. Once it's activated, no need to sit there and waste parts or wonder what's going on. You just want the troggs to keep killing it. Once it's dead, it will respawn relatively fast and you can just contribute to it real quick. I do think you need to do it pretty quick so you can get credit so someone else doesn't get the turn in. Anyway, hope this helps.

Comment by soukougnan

I waited near the Recharger for the European daily reset, 9 am CET(DST).
Had the parts ready
Got lucky and the recharger popped up. BAM! achie recieved.

Comment by Madeina

All I have left to get is the charging station but it is not there, NPC keeps saying it's not working today. Hasn't been there for a week now. Did I miss something? Haven't seen anywhere that this item has been removed, also without it how do I fill energy cells for quests?

EDIT: It came up as a WQ the next day to repair so was able to get the achiev and charge about 50 cells

Comment by Omgwtfpwnoobsftw

I arrived at the charging station and found it half completed. Someone had turned in the spare parts, but not the container. I completed the project, but did not receive credit.

I then let the troggs destroy it, waited for the respawn, and completed the project from 0 myself. I got credit instantly.

This is hardly proof, but if you are working on this post-10.0, you may need to build the charging station from scratch to get credit.

Comment by Facethievery1

The charging station is by far the most annoying to get done. There is only one on the island and it does not naturally despawn/reset like the Rec rig. So there are two main options to get the charging station credit for the achievement:

1) Log in right before or at daily reset time and hope it is a charging station day. You will need to reload UI to make it spawn if you are on before reset.

2) If there is a completed charging station build when you logged in, you are stuck waiting for a lizard riding trogg to spawn while charging batteries (either you or other players) and have it throw brown swirlies on the station. These swirlies will do about 15% of the stations health and once it dies it will respawn for you to rebuild. I found this trogg to be a pretty uncommon spawn. The regular troggs (i.e. not riding a lizard) appear way more often and just beat you up and do not appear to do damage to the station. I charged about a 100 batteries and only one lizard riding trogg appeared. If you do not get this specific mob to appear, you will just have to sit and wait for other players to stop by and charge batteries and somehow get threat on the trogg without killing it.

Comment by Jeket

YOU CAN FORCE THE CHARGING STATION ACHIEVEMENT without having to camp it or to wait the passive respawn!

1. Go to an active Charging Station;
2. Use the Charging Station to charge your cells untill troggs comes to attack you;
3. Use a spell to leave fight like Shadowmeld, Feing Death, Vainsh, etc...;
4. Troggs will start to attack the Charging Station instead of you;
5. Wait untill troggs destroy the charging station, it will reappear very soon after it has been destroyed;
6. Contribute to activate it and take achievement!
