Tool factory
Details
Tool factories produce tools
Require:	Work force
Construction:	Brick, Concrete
Consumes:	Steel, Copper, Energy
Produces:	Pickaxe, Toolbox
Category:	Facilities

A tool factory provides industrial tools

You can construct and toggle a Tool factory, on Facilities.

• A Tool factory has a requirement to access and requires some resources to construct.
• Active Tool factories consume Steel, Copper and Energy to produce Pickaxes and Toolboxes.

Access

Tool factory appears, on Facilities, after you research Work force on Technologies.

• You can build a Tool factory, after you research Work force.
• Work force has a requirement to access and research.

Technology required:
Technology	Requirement	Research cost
Work force	invest 200 000 Knowledge in Economy	Concrete	15 000
		Book	30

Construction

You can build a Tool factory, on Facilities, after you research the required technology.

• You need 2 500 Brick and 10 000 Concrete, to build your first Tool factory.
• You need 20% more resources, each time you build another one.

Example costs:
Current Tool factory	Brick	Concrete
0	2 500	10 000
1	3 000	12 000
2	3 600	14 400
3	4 320	17 280
...	...	...
n	2 500 × 1.2n	10 000 × 1.2n

Consumption

• An active Tool factory consumes Steel, Copper and Energy.

You can toggle a Tool factory, to be active or to stop consumption, with the 'Toggle' button. A Tool factory stops production, if you do not have resources to maintain it, when online; if you are offline, it will auto-toggle off (v0.9.3 beta), needs checking

Resources consumed:
Consumes	Rate
Copper	5 per second
Steel	2 per second
Energy	1 000 KW per hour

Production

• An active Tool factory produces Pickaxes and Toolboxes.

You can toggle a Tool factory, to be active or to stop production, with the 'Toggle' button. A Tool factory stops production, if you do not have resources to maintain it.

Resources produced:
Produces	Rate
Pickaxe	0.5 per second1
Toolbox	0.001 per second
1inconsistant with tooltip; v0.9.3 beta

• Other factors increment Tool factory production.
