Sewing Machine Factory is a production building that produces Sewing Machines. It can be build in the Old World (and Cape Trelawney) where it uses Wood and Steel as ingredients. With  New World Rising DLC it can also be built in the New World where it uses Wood and Aluminium Profiles.

Productivity[]

It takes 30 seconds to produce 1 ton of sewing machines from 1 ton of wood and 1 ton of steel (or aluminium profiles), so the production rate is 2 tons of sewing machines per minute. Productivity can be changed by adjusting working conditions, using items and electricity.
