Hi..I put downmy firastfactory and its producing now..but I have to leave for few days...Do I have to put a lot of money and energy because it will consume both always or as soon the resorces finish (that will be in an hour) the factory will stop and not consume energy and maintenance? If it burns both, should I redeed it? How much is it? Thx everybody... Espirito

Factories only seem to consume energy when they are running, and when they run out of energy, they just won't produce stuff anymore.

However, if the maintenance runs out, they start to decay, and you don't want that to happen because its expensive to repair, or you could lose it.

It costs something like 1k a day in maintenance for a factory, and when you redeed it it eats up something like 2500 or 3000 credits (can't remember exactly). So if you aren't going to be using it for like 4 days, then you should redeed it and stick it down again when you get back, otherwise just make sure it has enough maintenance. You can view its status to see how long the maintenance in it will last.

Maintenance on factories is 50 credits per hour, so 1200 credits per day. It costs 2500 credits to redeed, so unless you're only going to be gone for two days, it's more cost effective to take it down. Well, unless you're like me and use the 100 item input hopper as additional storage...

Power is only used while the factory is running, and any power remaining in the factory will be stored in the deed and can be used the next time you putit down.
