A factory stores one finished car and stops until a car carrier collects it, so the cars-per-day ceiling holds only while carriers keep up and the carousels have shoppers. Citizens without a car judge the price with the city's average carbrainess and buy on Fair or better; suburban residents with no car buy at any price. Factories also pollute and lower parking demand around them.

Details: Car Factory, Amphibious Car Factory, Car Carrier and Car Shop Carousel.

What is read from the game and what isn't

  • From the game's scripts: prices, upkeep, production time per car, the one-car store at the factory and the carousel's $30–$400 price slider.
  • From the game's code: how shoppers judge the price (Fair or better buys, judged with the city's average carbrainess) and the 900-unit day.
  • Our estimates: that carriers collect every car in time and the carousels have enough shoppers ("output sold" lets you scale that down).
