These include trading with NPC’s, you can also get them by going on expeditions, looting defeated ships and the World Fair. Lets now take a look at these items now.

Layouts

In this section we will be looking at what layouts we can use for the Cigar Factory. Lets take a look at these now.

Option 1

In this layout we have a full production chain for the production of cigars. As we can see we have a Lumberjacks hut as the starting point for the production of Wood Veneers at the Marquetry Workshop. These Wood Veneers will then go to the Cigar Factory. The second stage is the Tobacco Plantations that will send the Tobacco to the Cigar Factory.

This layout will produce four tons of Cigars per minute. This amount of Cigars will supply 360 Obreros residences or up to 7200 Obreros. It could also supply 180 Investors residences or up to 9000 investors.
