General data

Paper mills process wood products and refined products and produce paper. Paper mills can be built by a player. Building cost is £515,504. Paper mills have 1 possible layout.

Paper mill production is shown in the table (production data is calculated for 8 cycles a month. During game play, there are 8 or 9 cycles, while the total amount of distributed cargo is adjusted with property for minimal amount of cargo distributed).

The industry processes wood products and refined products at the same time and both are required for production. The industry can't produce paper from wood products without refined products and from refined products without wood products unless refined products are not defined.

Level Cycles Paper Wood products Refined products
Very low 1 72 96 8
Low 2 144 192 16
Normal 4 288 384 32
High 9 648 864 72
Very high 19 1368 1824 152
Ultimate 41 2952 3936 328

Production change

Changing production level is calculated by comparing the min of wood products waiting and refined products waiting * 9 with the value shown in the table.

The industry can increase production level by one, and decrease it to any level. Increasing production on normal and higher production levels also requires that at least 50% of goods are transported.

When the industry has a very low production level and does not have enough cargo waiting, it tests close down conditions. Industries in service have a close down chance reduced by 50%. Newly built industries can be closed only if they are at least 2 years old. Industries, built by the random map generator or map editor, can be closed only if they are at least 5 years old. A close down chance is 2% and there is an 8% chance for increasing production.

Level Decrease Increase
Very low 108 324
Low 227 681
Normal 475 1425
High 1004 3012
Very high 2095 6285
Ultimate 4406

Stockpile size

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.

Wood products Wood products (75%) Refined products Refined products (75%)

2281 1711 480 360

Possible location

Paper mills should be built close to water (2 - 4 tiles) on flat land. They can't be built near other paper mills, printing works, sawmills or refineries.
