Factory question

[jhogun]

Do factories require Industrialization to work? I seem to remember reading somewhere that they do but can't find it anymore.

Nope, they do not. But you need factories in order for solar, nuclear, power and mfg plants to function, AFAIK.

Morten is correct. Industrialization tech (Ind in the rules.txt) just gives the industrial city type in cities.gif and also changes the people type in people.gif.

I vaguely remember that if you give a city a factory and its owning civ the preqs for one or more plants, but not the preq for factories, that city can't build a plant.
