"Warehouse / Factory" building upgrade / expand
The building you have to build in order to have your machines INSIDE .
Is there any way to upgrade it so it gets bigger or expand it ?

It is getting pretty tiresome to tare it down everytime I have to expand , just to rebuilt it .
It is a WASTE of money and resources .

At present you have to demolish the factory and start over if you want to expand the buildings "footprint". I wish we had the ability to delete selected parts of existing factories for expansion.

It might be a waste on some resources but you do not lose money. You get full refunds of everything you delete. If we didn't get full refunds I would have been... but I do agree there should be a way to expand the factory as you progress.

Makes you think before you build.

Well, it's not a waste of money as all the costs of the machines and belts are refunded, but I agree it stinks to lose your resources or just sit there and wait while they're used up. Most of all, it's a waste of your time having to do this over and over again.

I'd like a sort of planning mode, where you click on the factory, design it as you want, and THEN click build, paying the cost that adds up as you go. That'd be nice for new factories, but I'm not sure how it'd work for replacing/expanding existing factories. Perhaps an option when you click on the factory to "Edit" right under the "Demolish" option? The game would have to keep track of the overall footprint to notify you of whether you have the room, but it'd be nice.

As it is, I really enjoy the game since the "Easy" mode came out, but I think some tinkering with the factories would be nice.

No. has to be deleted and rebuild everything.
It's not a waste of money, you get 100% of your money back on everything built and the resources are unlimited so the only thing you are losing is time spent having to rebuild everything.

That is however the whole point of the game, constantly rebuild to be more efficient and change production to suit what you need.

To be fair it only wastes time.
I think it's intended this way, if you want to improve you have to make a whole new thing !

Ressources is not an issue here, there is plenty of them, money neither, because you got full refund for each items in your factory (except maybe for the cost of the doors)
