Soap Factory

Template:Infobox BuildingsSoap factory turns tallow into soap, the basic need of  Workers and  Artisans. It can be built only in the Old World.

For a detailed look into the profitability of soap as a consumer product, see this page.

Productivity

It takes 30 seconds to produce 1 ton of soap from 1 ton of tallow so the production rate is 2 tons of soap per minute. Productivity can be changed by adjusting working conditions, using items and electricity.
