Filament Factory is a Production Building which turns Coal into Filaments. It can be built only in the Old World (and Cape Trelawney).

Productivity

It takes 60 seconds to produce 1 ton of filaments from 1 ton of coal so the production rate is 1 ton of filaments per minute. Productivity can be changed by adjusting working conditions, using items and electricity.
