Grease Factory

The Grease Factory is an industrial building that processes raw materials into grease for advanced production chains. It occupies a 2×3 grid of flat surface and is placed like other production buildings within a colony’s workshop area. The Grease Factory requires beaver workers and connects to the colony’s logistics through adjacent storage and transport routes to supply and take away inputs and outputs.

The building converts appropriate input items into grease at a steady production rate determined by its workforce and uptime. It is intended for mid- to late-game use where grease is required for higher-tier machines and crafted goods. The structure functions while staffed and supplied; without workers or input materials it will sit idle and not produce grease.

Practical notes and usage:

• Footprint and placement: The Grease Factory occupies a 2×3 flat area and should be sited near storage yards and transport paths to minimize travel time for beavers hauling inputs and outputs.
• Staffing and uptime: Provide enough assigned workforce and avoid placing the building far from residences or thoroughfares to keep production consistent.
• Integration: Pair the Grease Factory with nearby storages or workshops that consume grease, and arrange production chains so input supplies are routed efficiently.
• Visuals: The building can be displayed in a dedicated build layout or shown while in use to check animations and worker behavior.
