he work done in workshops is more skilled than that in raw material facilities, and requires a lot more time. Thus, a raw material generator working at full capacity will produce two carts full of materials in the time that a workshop produces just one cartload of finished goods.
You will always see some visual signs of activity at workshops that have both employees and raw materials. If workshops look idle, they lack one or the other.
Production of finished goods always works the same way. Raw materials are extracted or harvested, then taken to a waiting workshop. When the workshop finishes producing a load, a worker emerges and wheels the completed goods to the nearest warehouse that has space available.
scribe's note:
Workshops can store some extra raw materials on their grounds , which helps to even-out their production. Like most industries, workshops make undesirable neighbors. They need good road access to their workforce, to the raw material producer that supplies them, and to the warehouse that takes their output.
