A factory plate requires a factory of the same type within a short distance (seen as a circle surrounding the factory) to work. When selecting a factory to place, should there be another factory of the same type already placed and friendly, a line will be drawn to it. Moving the factory ghost into the circle will automatically convert it into a plate. |

Though should there be a sudden, urgent need for smaller units, a plate will allow the continued production of the expensive unit while the smaller ones are being produced, instead of having to cancel the large unit and switch to the smaller ones. |
