Description
Starcraft 2: Terran Automated RefineryModeled by Phill Gonzales, final texture pass by Ted Park!
This Refinery upgrade was part of the final wave of Terran buildings needing cosmetic improvements for the tech purchase feature in the single player campaign. The development team was burning through content at this point and after a few sessions of design feedback we went to work on the final model. Like the Terran Mercenary units, the idea was to change about 60% of the model to make it unique, but not so unique that it wouldn't be recognized as a Terran Refinery.
The automated pistons were stolen from a concept Mr.--Jack did for his application to get on the Starcraft 2 team. I will not apologize for stealing.

Don't apologize for stealing the pistons--they were brilliant! The first time I saw those things, I loved the effect--it made the building look more realistic.

This is one of my favorite terran buildings because of its solid geometric shape, and also Stetman's decsription of it, so I guess the Protoss might have it as well.
By chance, did you also work on the zerg's automated extractor?

I didn't get to work on Zerg's automated extractor, but I think it's just a differently colored extractor.

*Will* the Protoss get "automated" Assimilators for Legacy of the Void?

Unsure! I have been working on Heroes! I am going to see things for the first time just like you will when it comes out!

One thing's for certain, I hope you and the others don't go "overboard" to make the Legacy of the Void campaign feel like a Protoss campaign. Simply put, I'd be okay with unit variants that you can get from other tribes, but I WOULD NOT be okay if diplomacy was a factor in how the player progressed. Simply put, I doubt many would want to "play favorites" to earn cool tech and advantages.
