Ordnance Factory

Function
Ordnance Factories are installations that allow production of missiles, drones and buoys.

An ordnance factory produces the racial ordnance production rate per year modified by the planetary and sector governor's Factory Production bonus and require 50,000 civilians each to operate.

Formula: (Racial Ordnance Production Rate) * (Sector Governor Factory Production Bonus * 0.25) * (Planetary Governor Production Bonus)

Operation
Factories are managed on the Industry tab of the Economics Screen (F2 at the main menu).

New Projects
Select Missiles on the Construction Options dropdown menu. Fighters and the remaining options are constructed by Fighter Factories and Construction Factories respectively.

Once an item is selected, you can choose the number to construct along with the percentage of industry to devote to the project. If a higher percentage is chosen than is available, the project will enter the queue and will begin when a enough industry has been freed up to meet the percentage requirements.

Current Projects
Clicking on an existing project allows you to change the requested number of items and percentage of industry at anytime. Attempted to set the total percentage of industry used will display an error dialog notifying you of this.

Current projects can also be cancelled, paused or moved into the queue. Paused projects do not release their industry for other projects, so move them into the queue if additional industry is required.

Note: Selected a new project, then clicking on an existing project and finally back on the new project will result in the focus still being granted to the existing project. To correct, pick a different new project and then back to what you want to build.

Shutting Down
Ordnance factories can be mass-shutdown via the Civilian / Ind Status tab of the Economics screen. This will immediately shutdown all ordnance production and remove any Wealth costs associated with the production. Shutting down in this way will require a 6-month warm-up time to restart production.

Production can also be shutdown on a project by project basis by project basis which has the same effect without incurring the 6-month restart delay (?)

Misc
Ordnance Factories require the standard 25,000 tons of cargo space (5 cargo holds), similar to most installations.
