Heavy Weapons Factory is a Production Building which turns
Dynamite and
Steel into
Advanced Weapons. It can be built only in the Old World (and Cape Trelawney), it requires
Electricity to operate.
Productivity[]
It takes 60 seconds to produce 1 ton of advanced weapons from 1 ton of dynamite and 1 ton of steel so the production rate is 1 ton of advanced weapons per minute. Productivity can be changed by adjusting working conditions and using items. As electricity is required to operate, this factory produces with 200% productivity by default.
Danger of fires and explosions[]
Heavy weapons factories are very prone to starting fires or exploding, especially with high productivity. Therefore it is recommended to build fire stations very close to them. Items which lower chance of fire are also useful.
