Everybody knows that in red area production is higher than in the green area. For example, in green we have a factory with 20 m2. In this case the lower producing cost in green compensate that bonus in production that we have in red. But, if we have a factory in green with 400 m2 the lower producing cost in green does not compensate the bonus in the production given by the red area. So, I would like to know until what area i should expand my buildings in green, not to lose much of that bonus in red. The buildings I am planning to expand are: one Power Plant, one Mine, one Plantation and one Factory.
I hope I made myself clear.

Power Plant: Green. Here is were theres one of the biggest differences in the large amounts of money, always power plant in green
Mine: Yellow, they get a 66% production bonuse in yellow same as wells
Plantation: Green they get a bonuse 25% for farming and plantations
Factory: Red here is were you want your production bonuse, same as reaserche centres and stores.
Hope that helps,

Stores and research centers always in red.
Mines and wells always in yellow.
Plantations and cattle breeding always in green.
Other building aren't so simple. You shouldn't build all your factories in red and think that's the right way. You should do some math. For example right now it's wiser to build power plants in green, because the price is low, but couple of weeks ago the price of power was 0.14 and higher, then it was correct to build it in red. Same is for example with steel. When every quality adds 3 or more to the profit then build your steel factory in red otherwise in green. You make less steel, but more profit and that's the name of the game. It doesn't matter how much product you make, but how much profit.
Formula you should use when deciding where to build is as follows:
where = (5*redprod-4*greenprod) / (sellprice-inputprice)
I skipped the way to this final formula, but you can figure it out very easily yourself.
redprod = production cost in red, e.g. 15.0 for steel
greenprod = production cost in green, e.g. 4.5 for steel
sellprice = selling price, e.g. 133.0
inputprice = cost of the inputs. e.g. 85
where, if > 1, build in green; if < 1, build in red, if = 1, then it doesn't matter.

To be honest, for me my opinion depends only of the selling price than I can expected and the profit that I can make.
Simply example a Power plant as merchant sold actually at 0,08 on the market with 20m2. We sell it after 30 days.
Steel : 135
Wood : 35
Stone : 11,5
Green area :
Construction price 142.500,00
