====== 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. 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.

| Iron Ore + Coal | Steel Mill | Steel | 2 |

| Oil | Fuel Refinery | Fuel | 3 |
