Support Station

Art of the Support Station from the LEGO Rock Raiders video game

The Support Station is a fictional building in the LEGO Rock Raiders theme. It is exclusive to the LEGO Rock Raiders video game, where it is an important building with a wide variety of functions. It cleans the air in caverns, allows for additional Rock Raiders to be teleported, and supplies food to hungry Rock Raiders. It is also required for many vehicles to be transported and used. It was never released in a LEGO construction set, though it is constructed out of pieces found in other LEGO Rock Raiders sets.

Pre-release

The game's instruction manual lists a different upgrade tree for the Support Station than its functional one. The manual lists that upgrading it to Level 1 unlocks the Geological Center, Upgrade Station, and Ore Refinery, and that upgrading it to Level 2 unlocks the Mining Laser and Super Teleport.[1] In-game, the former three are unlocked by a Level 1 Power Station alongside the Support Station, while the latter two require only a Level 1 Support Station.[2] Despite the Super Teleport's changed dependency, all large vehicles still require a Level 2 Support Station to be transported, making the Super Teleport non-functional until then.[2][3]

PlayStation game

In the PlayStation version of LEGO Rock Raiders, the Support Station is non-functional and essentially serves as a decorative object. It can only be found in a few missions. Its models, textures, and animations are found in the file barracks.hmd in the VEHICLES PWP file (Europe)/directory (North America).
