Simutrans Manual - The factory info window

The factory info window contains some information about the stored goods and/or materials. It also contains some informations about the productivity of this factory. As an example, this image displays an info window of an iron foundry.

• The statement "Private property" denotes that this bulding can not be removed by the remove/destroy tool. The owner just doesn't allow this.
• The next line gives the name of the thing, it's an "iron foundry".
• If available a possible consumer is shown next.
• The factory's workers come from different home towns, in this picture these are "Hammondlock" and "Renmouth". They can be transported from and to the factory by bus or train, which is important for a good infrastructure.
• Below this, the storage capacity and productvity of this industry are displayed:
  It has currently stored 0t of a maximum of 400t of steel. If the 400t should be reached, no more steel will be produced, due to the lack of storage capacity.
• If a factory like this iron foundry consumes some raw materials or intermediate products, even more information is dipslayed in the factory info window:
  The iron foundry consumes iron ore and coal, both can be stored up to 450t each. Currently the storage is 0t (0/450t) for both; that's why no steel is produced at the moment. If enough raw materials (iron ore and coal) were available 3t of steel per day could be produced in this steel mill.
