Factory

Factory

Drawn by Zimmlock, small fixes and CC support by George

The Factory is the part of the ECS Town Vector.

Accepted and produced cargoes

The Factory produces Goods.

The Factory accepts Glass or Ceramics, Dyes, Steel if defined.

The Factory does not accept any cargo during first 93 days of life if built in game.

Cargo acceptance is limited by storage capacity. If the stockpile is in overflow, the industry stops accepting cargo until the stockpile is down to 75% of capacity, at which point the industry will start accepting cargo again.

Construction

The Factory can be built by a player both in a game and in the scenario editor. Construction cost has a factor of 160 that means the building cost is £468,750/$937,500 in game, in case of inflation is off. Construction conditions are represented in the table.

||SE|Condition

+

|Build on dry land

+

|Build on flat land

|Build > 1 tiles away from desert tile

|Build at most 7 tiles away from Tz0

|Build > 16 tiles from a Steel mill

|Build > 16 tiles from a Chemical plant

|Build > 16 tiles from a Glass works

|Build > 16 tiles from a Factory||of Location/Positioning Conditions

The Factory has low probability (2) to be built by map generator and very low probability (1) to be built during game play.

Production

Steel or Glass are available

The Factory uses 6 production levels.

Steel and Glass are not available

The Factory uses 124 production levels, represented in % from 3% to 100%.

Calculations

To calculate a month production values should be summarized for all the cycles of the month (usually 8 or 9). The following calculations are given for one production cycle.

The Factory does not produce any cargo during first 93 days of life if built in game.

||Level|Steel (tonnes)|Glass (boxes)|Goods (crates)

Very low|5|15|9

Low|11|32|19

Normal|24|67|40

High|49|141|85

Very high|102|297|178

Ultimate|210|625|375||On first step the basic values are taken from the table.

On the second step these values are reduced according to amount of material waiting.

Then the amount of goods is recalculated. If Steel or Glass are defined, formula (1) is used. If not, formula (2) is used instead.

||Goods new = Goods old * Steel new / Steel old   + Goods old * Glass New / Glass old|

(1)

Goods new = 375 * level% / 200%|

(2)

||Then amount of Dyes used is calculated as Dyes = Goods new / 4 and then reduced according to amount of Dyes waiting.

Then amount of Goods is recalculated again Goods final = max (Goods new + Dyes new * 9 / 5; 2)

Production change

Production change happens on the 1-st day of every month.

The Factory does not change production level during first 93 days of life if built in game.

On the lowest production level (Very low or 3%) advanced closure mechanism is applied with the following protection conditions:

  • last one on the map
  • younger than 5 years for industries, built in SE (scenario editor) or during map generation, younger than 2 years for others
  • amount of Steel + Glass/3 + Dyes > 1024

Protection can be changed with parameter of ECS Town Vector to the following protection conditions:

  • last one on the map
  • younger than 5 years for industries, built in SE (scenario editor) or during map generation, younger than 2 years for others
  • amount of Steel + Glass/3 + Dyes > 1
  • transportation level > 1%
  • factory is built by the player during game play

Steel or Glass are available

Production level decreases when amount of cargo produced last month is below the value represented in the table.

Production level increases when amount of max (Steel, Glass / 3) is above the value represented in the table.

||Level|Decrease (crates of goods)|Increase (reduced tonnes)

Very low| |135

Low|77|279

Normal|162|576

High|340|1188

Very high|714|2451

Ultimate|1500| ||On normal production level and higher at list 50% of cargo should be transported to allow production level grow

Steel and Glass are not available

Production change happens according on amount of cargo transported.

||Transportation|Production change

< 25%

|divide production level by 2 if current level above 6%

-"-

|decrease production level by 1 if current level 3% – 6%

25% – 49%

|decrease production level by 1

51% – 75%

|increase production level by 1

>75%

|increase production level by 1 with 75% probability

-"-

|multiply production level by 2||

Features

The Factory has one of 24 possible layouts. New layouts are welcome (:biggrin:)

The Factory is covered with snow when located above snow line.

When built by the player during a game, the Factory will be in Company Colours of the builder. When generated by the game or built while in the scenario editor, the Factory will pick up the colour randomly with one exception. The white colour would be changed to yellow.

The Factory changes graphics over time (following [1]'s second parameter). The change occurs independently for each tile. If [2] is not detected, the Factory follows TTRSv3's default era time sequence.
