GigaFactory

Post by varunbaid »

Is it possible to have a Factory with large production capacity? As it becomes pretty time taking to put many small factories...

Factories aren't moddable yet - but it would be good, yes. Not sure it's as easy as all that though, I suspect there could be some game implications to making a larger factory, otherwise it's likely we'd already have them...

Maybe in the future it will be possible to have multi-floor factories and multi-floor R&D centers.
The retail stores already have this possibility. Not really a giga-factory but still it will increase the capacity of a factory.
(so finally we can produce "wheel and tyre, car bodies and engines in one factory")

But an option i really want to see is an increased production capacity. Products as steel, plastic, glass and silicon always need more factory's in my save-games, even when internal-sale is enabled.

The Cap World mod offers two additional factories, Complex & Assembly, that have significantly greater capacity. I can typically build one Assembly Factory and provide enough products to supply a majority market share in at least 3-5 cities depending on the product.

These factories do have significant overhead though so I wouldn't use them for low margin products unless you know you will get significant volume.

I usually end up playing most of my game with fewer than 15 factories due to these two options.

You may add factory buildings to the BUILDINGS.DBF in the mod folder.
