GFSN WIKI - FACTORIES

FACTORY'S

Factory's come in many different shapes and sizes, but they all have common features in which they consume 1 or more items, and then transform it into something else, usually a higher value product which is then either sold on to the markets, or itself used to produce yet another product. With well over 100 different factorys available for purchase in our system, we make buying and operating a factory easy.

Factorys can be profitable to operate, or can generate a net loss on your investment if you are not careful and ever watchful of input cost getting out of hand from reality. Factories require a MAJOR investment to be able to set one up and for this highly complex task, we have created a new Factory Resource manager to help guide players and navigate them through the purchase of an existing factory.

FACTORY RESOURCES MANAGER Be sure to say hello to the local factory resouces manager on each new server that you visit. The Factory resource manager can help you to find the best available factory to purchase and operate, depending on what is currently available, and help you to get started as a new industry owner. You can find the FRM player id on any of the map legends right under the map pic.

Factory Prices factorys are priced out by the number of production lines they contain. The cost is 200K per line. In addition, each production line requires 25 slots to operate. When a player purchases an existing factory, they must pay for any supplys currently in the factory at the time of transfer. This is calculated by multiplying the qty of all items by their lowest market price. Players should have this amount figured out prior to the closing of the deal.

Please be aware that the factory is an integral part of the server and is REQUIRED to keep production going, so if you fail to operate the factory or abandon it, WSS can purchase it back and take it over for 50% of what you paid for it ! This is a last resort only, but you need to be aware of this clause. Also remember that the factorys wallet is tied to your player account, so you will need to have cash on hand at all times to cover deliverys or turn off the inputs so that they cannot be sold to.

Factory's also have maintenance cost which is assesed at 250.00 per production line charged monthly. If your factory consumes electricity, you will get billed an additional 2500.00 per production line per month.

(NOTE: A player owning a factory is prohibited from owning the same factory on any other server.)
