Production Technology

[bundyaxl]

Create technologies that are utilized by your other firms.

Make technology such as for example assembly line that could be applied to a factory. It would be applied to a production unit square.

For a factory it would start with "hand built" then you could research an assembly line that would give you more production capacity per employee, but decrease quality and safety.
Researching something like "cnc machines" or "robots" would increase quality and safety and the capacity.

I work in the automotive manufacturing field so I'm using those examples but it could be anything, sewing machines for apparel companies, food processing equipment, lithography machines for cpu's, distilleries for alcohol, etc.

This would kind of specialize factories too so if you're making food in a factory and want to switch it to electronics or cars you would have to re-tool the facility to accommodate the specific product type.
This would also put some money pits into the game and make setting up factories more expensive.
