# Deployment

A faction's factory will not accept traitors, so only NFTs that have at least one of the faction's attributes can be deployed.

Each process in each faction has 6 slots, so there can be up to 6 NFTs per process. When deploying NFTs in the process, you can start at a lower level. For example, if you want to deploy an NFT on the 4th slot, you must have other NFTs on the 1st through 3rd slots. Initially, only the first slot is unlocked, and a certain amount of $VALOR is required to unlock the next slot. NFTs placed on higher slots will receive a bigger boost to their manufacturing power. (See the [boost section](/tidal-flats-whitepaper-en/whitepaper/black-market-2-road-to-fidelia/manufacturing/boost.md))

Because each process exists independently, the results for Slot Unlock are not shared. When unlocking Slots, be thoughtful about your faction choices and deck composition.

All processes for all factions except the Empire require input materials. If enough input materials are available, the NFT will begin manufacturing from the moment it is deployed.
