The Factory Page
The Factories Page is where you take in resources and produce other good of higher value. Higher tier factories may require resources created by other factories as well as Raw Materials.
On the left side you can see your list of resources. You can scroll this list to see all the resources available to you by dragging the list.
When you tap one of the boxes on the left, you are shown the details for that resources as well as upgrade options.
You can see the resources level, how much it's producing, what each unit sells for, as well as Demand. Demand is how many resources you must produce per second so that your other factories are producing at top efficiency. If you don't have enough, your factories will still produce, but at a reduced rate.
After that, there is a list of required resources as well as the amount required per second to produce the resources for this factory. If you don't have enough, the factory will still work, but will produce at a reduced efficiency.
Below that, there is the button to purchase more levels. In the button is the cost, to the right of that is how many levels you would purchase with a single tap. The amount is controlled by the button on the top of the game that shows how many of any item to buy.
There is also an option to Disable Factory. This allows you to turn off a factory, which can be useful if don't want to consume one of the required resources because you are saving it for a more valuable factory.
Lastly, you can see a set of upgrades for this resource. These can be purchased an unlimited amount of times although the cost will increase with each purchase. You can decrease the cost by spending Prestige Points on the appropriate upgrade.
If you lack the required resources for a given factory, the box on the left will be red and the details will show you what you are missing.
At the bottom of the page is a preview of the next available resource. It shows an icon of the resource, as well as how much more cash you need for it to appear. Note that resources appear after you have 1/2 the required money, so the amount shown is half the cost of the first level.
