Circuit Factory

The Circuit Factory is a mid- to late-game production building used to manufacture advanced chipsets from refined materials and Copper wire. It is one of the key facilities for turning basic industrial inputs into the specialized components needed for higher-tier development.

It can produce three different outputs, each in a batch of 2 and each requiring 1500 work:

• 2 Labor Chipset from 2 Nickel, 4 Copper Wire, and 1 Tool
• 2 Specialty Chipset from 2 Gold Ingot, 4 Copper Wire, and 1 Tool
• 2 Combat Chipset from 2 Obsidian, 4 Copper Wire, and 1 Tool

Because all three recipes share the same wire and tool requirement, the Circuit Factory is best treated as a centralized chipset line rather than a single-purpose workshop. Its value comes from flexibility: once the factory is built, the same structure can support workforce, industrial, and military progression depending on which materials are available.
