I agree that increasing factory speed would really help traders and crafters by allowing them to produce more goods faster, which can boost the overall economy. However, to keep things balanced and rewarding, I think faster manufacturing should be tied to player progression like unlocking upgrades through quests, collections, or achievements.

Additionally, introducing a new Manufacturer profession could be a great way to add depth. This profession could specialize in improving factory speed and efficiency, creating a new role for players focused on optimizing production. It would also open up a fresh market where crafters manufacture items on behalf of others, encouraging more player-to-player interaction and economy activity.

This approach rewards active gameplay and creates meaningful progression paths while giving traders and crafters more tools to expand their business.

Btw, have you tried the +40% speed boost from expertise? It only works if the character who owns the factory has the speed boost I believe.

I don't know that i agree that factory speed needs a universal increase, but i would think a happy medium might be an item similar to "make a harvester self powered" which could be purchased for x tokens to increase a specific factory's speed by 50%. Just my 2 cents.
