Chained Crafting Buildings

Remember to include the standard building as well, since the crafting buildings depend on it. You are using two standard buildings, so that's 6 slots to my 5. Your method will result in crafting at a higher speed; mine frees up the second item production building for normal usage.

Both methods have pros and cons.

I am not sure if I can agree that a level 12 specialized crafting building is sufficiently quick to set up and tear down. It depends on the size of the typical batch, and how often you want to vary the mix. How long are your usual item runs? Do you use prestige to finish the specialized building more quickly?

Good point. 6 for each one, then. Isn't a month over 10000 spears or 5000 armor? Quite a lot of one specific item. I was thinking more in the 500-1000 range for batch sizes, only a day or three at the speeds on my chart.

I had planned on using an architect's office, not prestige, since I intended to build up and tear down so often. But 3 to finish levels 11/12 could still be worthwhile.
