Larger machines.

Postby Antichrist_Online » Sun Jul 24, 2005 5:17 pm

I was thinking, instead of having larger machines which had a higher maximum production. How about a machine that has the same max-production but requires only one or two people to reach it. The machines would cost more, but the shortage of workers in cantr is a greater problem to companies than the shortage of iron or steel.

I like the idea of an expensive smelter that uses coke to make more iron quickly, even if it requires a few extra workers.

Thanks, Industrialist.

I was just thinking that.

I know I saw that post. I was presenting an alternative. Where all the bigger machine does is reduce the labour needed to run at maxium.

That's wording it differently but it's the same thing.

Not really more per day if you are running both at maxiumum, you'd have to build more smelters to produce more iron.
