When you set-up your factories you should manufacture a product which is in demand in that 
sector. If there are too few Power Stations to supply the energy resources or even enough 
local Crystals Fabs to supply the power stations, this is when you may consider setting up 
multiple factories, which can then produce these resources.  
 
There are many factors to be considered when setting up multiple factories, the product 
selling prices and resource buying prices, the distance to available resources and the local 
demand for your product. This is best done after your have checked what is being 
manufactured in the economy of nearby sectors.  
 
You will have to set up the prices and decide if your factories are restricted to buying their 
resources just from your factories and or for them to be supplemented by local supplies. 
Another very effective way to meet your energy needs, while increasing your profits is to set 
up a factory loop. 
 
Factory sizes of Small (1xS) Medium (2xM) and Large (3xL) provide the opportunity to setup 
resource to supply those factories with quantities that meet their needs. An L sized factory will 
have the production of three standard factories and will require proportionally the same  
resources. A larger mine will also produce three times the resources of a typical mine. 
 
Location, location, location 
Factory Placement is all about finding the most profitable place to market your product. It is 
better to identify a need that you can fulfil by building a factory for, than to find a place that will 
be best for the factory product you want to sell.   

 

Low Priced Food = Average profits 
A good first factory in the Argon sectors is a Delexian Wheat Farm, and is best placed where 
there are a reasonable number of Cahoona Bakeries in the sector, there are no other 
Delexian Wheat Farms in the vicinity but choose one with nearby Energy supplies. Another 
good starting product would be BoFu in Kingdom’s End or BoGas in Ocean of Fantasy, which 
has a number of badly supplied BoFu plants. 
 
Mid Priced Silicon = Good profits 
There is good demand for Silicon in Argon Prime and most hi-tech production areas, but no 
asteroids in it, so locating a high yield asteroid south of there with nearby Energy supplies is 
important. A goods place for one of these is in Ore Belt where there are plenty of asteroids 
and some good yields and high stocks of Energy in the same sector. A Silicon mine can 
produce 300+ credits profit per unit, when factories have low stocks and are buying at 700+. 
 
High Priced Shields & High Tech – Very high profits 
As with Silicon, 1GJ and 10 GJ, Shields are best placed in sectors with nearby Equipment 
Docks. So a good place for one of these would be Home of Light as you then have three 
sectors nearby that have Equipment Docks i.e. Argon Prime, Red Light and Cloud Base 
South East. 
 
Always check out the local demand for resources before you build factories, If they are food 
factories make sure they are needed, like in many Argon sectors there is a shortfall of 
Cahoona Bakeries, and most races have a shortage of Energy Plants, Silicon/Ore Mines and 
Crystal Fabs and as mentioned the Boron sectors are good places for Delexian wheat. 
Additionally by placing a factory near one that already sells the same product will allow you to 
entice some or a lot of its customers to your factory, especially if you selling cheaper. 

 

If you buy a Large factory complex that has the same production of 3X factories, it is very 
important that you checkout the market in the sectors you might want to put it in, as the output 
will be high, your profits can be very high if there is good long term high demand in that sector 
and in the sectors next to it.
