📜 Paper Plant Upgradable Processing Building
| Stat | Value |
|---|---|
| Upgrade Path | Paper Plant -> Paperboard -> Parchment |
| Base Function | Paper -> Paperboard (3:1) |
| Advanced Function | Paper -> Parchment (10:1) |
Description
The Paper Plant is a unique upgradable building that evolves from basic paper processing to advanced parchment production. It's the same physical structure that grows in capability over time.
Upgrade Progression
- Paper Plant (Initial) - Basic facility, no conversion capability until first upgrade
- Paperboard Plant - Converts Paper -> Paperboard at 3:1 ratio in batches (e.g., 300 Paper = 100 Paperboard)
- Parchment Plant - Converts Paper -> Parchment at 10:1 ratio for highest-tier requirements
Operational Details
- Batch Processing: Conversion runs in batches, not continuously
- Activatable Process: Player must initiate each conversion cycle
- Pressmen Support: Additional workers increase conversion speed
- Resource Storage: Tracks both input Paper and output materials
Strategic Tips
- 📈 Upgrade Timing: Plan upgrades around unit unlock requirements
- ⚖️ Resource Balance: Higher conversion ratios require careful Paper management
