depends on what your going to make in them, imho for Q0 steel its better to build in green, as for the rest i go with red.

Yes, red or green.

Oh that's not helpful? :twisted:

Factories in particular get discussed a lot because they're right on the edge between the two. Here is a sheet in Google Documents that makes a couple comparisons, including a red and green factory (sets 3 and 4 on the sheet.) You may need to sign up for Google Docs but it's real quick and a great service you might use someday.

What you see is that for steel, Green is much more profitable - 16.3% ROI vs 9.9% ROI - for a small 20m building. But when you start expanding it loses the edge very quickly. This is because the high cost of building materials is the same anywhere and the increased production of red takes over.

However, just looking at that comparison makes it pretty clear Green factories are better for Steel. For other product though - gas, chemicals, plastic, etc - that doesn't quite hold.

With steel, it's 15

I was agonizing why that chart just didn't feel right to me. Then I did the exact same thing.


Is the wood column in your green factory chart accurate? I think you meant to put 5,000 rather than 50,000.

Yeah Google Docs are awesome.

While I was at it I updated costs too. It should be accurate now. I was indeed cheating the green factory a bit. So while it still drops off dramatically once you start expanding, green retains the edge over red for Steel.
