Factories

Factories can only be constructed by a company.
Each company can only have a single factory.
The construction and upgrade costs of the factory remain in the company as an asset.
There are 9 different types of factories - one for each type of crop.
After constructing the factory, the company will need to purchase the specific crop from the market - at the current market price
The factory will convert these crops into products, and these products can then again be sold for a profit.
The selling price for manufactured product is 3 x the current market price (excluding High Demand prices) of the associated crop.
Buying and selling of factory stock and products does not use High Demand prices.
Factories can also be upgraded. Upgrading the factory enables it to convert crops into product at a faster rate.
Upgrades can be queued for an extra egg cost. Members still need to vote, but voting can happen at any time. Once the company has enough cash, the next upgrade will start automatically after one of the following events: factory product or stock is sold, a money transfer from the broker account, a member sells part of their stockpile, a current upgrade completes, or soup is sold.
Each upgrade will make the factory 20% faster.
A factory can only keep a maximum amount of stock. This increases with 25% with each upgrade.
Crops in the company stockpile rots at a rate of 0.5% per hour.
After game end factories will be revealed.

Dividends

When factory products are sold, each member of the company will get 5.0% dividends from the sale made. This will be added to their cash balance.
Dividends will only be paid out to company members who have been in the company for at least 24 hours.

Each Fast Forward minute a member of the company uses, the factory will also receive 1 Fast Forward minute.
These minutes will accumulate and can then be played by a director at any time (while upgrading or running).
Minutes cannot be used while a factory is on strike.
The company must at least be busy constructing a factory to receive the minutes.
