 ====== Factories ======
-Factories convert delivered inputs into processed cargo. A newly mapped Factory must first receive its displayed commissioning cargo. Once active, it stores accepted inputs, processes complete recipes and stages the resulting crate for collection. A recipe with two different inputs cannot run until both are present.
+**Factories** convert delivered inputs into processed cargo. A newly mapped Factory must first receive its displayed commissioning cargo. Once active, it stores accepted inputs, processes complete recipes and stages the resulting crate for collection. A recipe with two different inputs cannot run until both are present. A Factory holds at most 10 crates of finished output; while that store is full, production pauses and delivered inputs wait until crates are collected.

-The Standards Bureau reduces every Factory recipe by one input crate, never below one. Balancing may change recipe quantities, so current site details on the Live Map take precedence over static wiki values.
