The Factory is a type of industrial chain building in Fall of the Samurai.
Description[]
The ticking clock, not a falling blossom, measures a man's life.
A factory significantly adds to the economy, and acts as a force for further economic growth.
The Industrial Revolution in England and then across Europe changed the way that common people lived forever. Before the coming of factories, people lived and died without ever going more than a few miles from where they were born. Their days were marked by the passing of the seasons, and the position of the sun. Factories took all that away: the clock and the weekly pay packet, suitably reduced by charges imposed by factory owners, became the rhythm of life. Life in the fields had been hard, but life in the factories was equally so, and without the benefits of fresh air.

The factory is upgraded from cotton weaving sheds, craft workshops, or silk weaving sheds. It produces a sizable amount of wealth and town wealth growth per turn, but is very expensive to build; it is best built in regions with a high level settlement, to maximize income from a higher tax rate.
Depending on what they're upgraded from, factories pay for themselves in about 55 turns. As factory profits are not impacted by what buildings they're upgraded from, it is best to upgrade craft workshops first, followed by silk weaving sheds, followed by cotton weaving sheds as silk weaving sheds are the most valuable buildings while craft workshops are the least.
