General data

Drawn by Lifeblood, improved by George

The Vehicles factory is the part of the ECS Machinery Vector.

Cargoes

Accepting

The Vehicles factory accepts Steel, Glass and Dyes if defined.

The Vehicles 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.

Level	Lines on	Steel	Steel (75%)	Glass	Glass (75%)	Dyes	Dyes (75%)
Very low	0	2050	1538	363	272	484	363
Low	1	2734	2050	519	389	691	519
Normal	2	3645	2734	741	556	988	741
High	5	4860	3645	1058	794	1411	1058
Ultimate	10	8640	6480	2160	1620	2880	2160

Acceptance limit can be disabled with parameter of ECS Machinery Vector

Production

The Vehicles factory produces Vehicles.

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

The Vehicles factory uses 5 production levels, meaning number of lines being on (0, 1, 2, 5 and 10).

All cargoes are a must if they are defined. On the lowest production level the missing glass / dyes cargo would be taken from internal resources, but only when the steel cargo is transported to the industry. Vehicles factory production is calculated from 10 lines. Month production values are shown in the table.

Level	Lines on	Vehicles
Very low	0	8-10
Low	1	64-90
Normal	2	128-180
High	5	320-450
Ultimate	10	640-900

Production change

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

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

On the lowest production level 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
• transportation level > 75%

Protection can be changed with parameter of ECS Machinery 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
• transportation level > 1%
• The Vehicles factory is built by the player during game play

Production level changes when amount of min (Steel, 24 * Glass, 24 * Dyes) goes outside the value's range for the current level represented in the table. Industry can rise and decrease production only by 1 level.

Level	Lines on	Decrease	Increase
Very low	0	23	216
Low	1	216	864
Normal	2	432	2160
High	5	1080	4320
Ultimate	10	2160

On high production level and higher at list 50% of cargo should be transported to allow production level grow

Attention! If the industry is inside a town zone 3, it always generates a "decrease production" event.

Construction

The Vehicles factory has one layout.

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

The Vehicles factory can be built by a player both in a game and in the scenario editor. Construction cost factor is 240. Construction conditions are represented in the table.

When built by the player during a game, The Vehicles factory will be in company colours of the builder. When generated by the game or built while in the scenario editor, The Vehicles Factory will pick up the colour randomly.

SE	Condition
+	Build on dry land
+	Build on flat land
–	Build > 16 tiles from a Steel mill
–	Build > 16 tiles from a Vehicles factory

Description of Location/Positioning Conditions

Features
