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.

I thought factories weren't moddable - has that changed ?

Yes, it is now possible to add new factories to a mod.

Ok, that's just what I needed - great news ! Now I just need to fix the problems with my mod....

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

Now you know how
hope to see more of this in your mods
