Under all economic policies but Laissez Faire, the national government may upgrade factories. Regardless of who built the factory, it will open as a level one factory after its build time is completed. The nation's economic policy will alter the resource cost the capitalists must pay, but they will always pay less to put a factory up than the national government would pay. Under all economic policies but a Planned Economy, a nation's capitalists will build factories. The national government must buy 200% of the factory's base resource cost to build it, but administrative efficiency reduces the penalty on a 1-for-1 basis a nation with 100% administrative efficiency will therefore pay the base factory cost to build a factory. Under State Capitalism and a Planned Economy, the national government may build factories. If they are unable to buy these goods for maintenance, they will work at reduced efficiency. Adding clerks to the factory's workforce, up to 20% of the workforce, will increase factory output by a maximum of 30%.įactories use a small amount of cement and machine parts daily for maintenance.

With higher levels of technology research and large POPs of craftsmen, clerks, and capitalists factories produce goods more efficiently and profitably than any other form of production.Ī factory employs up to 10,000 clerks and craftsmen per level. Max Workers = base (40000) * Province Size * ( 1 + Terrain + RGO Size Modifiers )īelgium has 3 factories in each of its two states.įactories are the major engine of industrialization in the game. The number of workers is limited by the maximum number of workers employable by the RGO, calculated using this formula: Output Efficiency = 1 + Aristocrat % in State + RGO Output Efficiency Modifiers + Terrain + Province Infrastructure * ( 1 + Mobilized Penalty).Throughput = (Number of workers / Max Workers) * ( 1 + RGO Throughput Efficiency Modifiers - War Exhaustion ) * oversea penalty.Base Production = Province Size * ( 1 + Terrain + RGO Size Modifiers ) * Output Amount (in table below).Production = Base Production * Throughput * Output Efficiency RGOs are administered by aristocrats and employ either farmers or laborers. Resource Gathering Organizations (RGOs) represent primary sources of raw materials, like farms and mines. 1 Resource Gathering Organizations (RGOs).
