 ===== Harnessing the Power of Factories ===== ===== Harnessing the Power of Factories =====
 +
 +To truly harness the power of factories, you first have to understand how the game engine applies auto-capture effects, eliminations, and factory bonuses. Here is a plain-text description, written by tom, of how the game engine processes factories at the start of a player turn:
 +
 +
 +**1. Loop through all continents**
 +
 +  - For each continent check to see whether the player owns the continent.
 +  - If the player owns the continent, check to see whether this continent has a factory. If it does, add it to the list of factory bonuses.
 +  - Now check to see if the player owns the factory territory, if they don't and the factory is an auto-assign type (AutoCapture, AutoNeutral) then add this territory to the list of territories to auto-assign to the player / neutral.
 +  - If continent does not have a factory then add the continent bonus to the player's reserves.
 +
 + 
 +
 +**2. Loop through list of territories to auto-assign to the player / neutral**
 +
 +  - Update ownership of territory
 +  - Check to see if this results in an elimination of a player by capturing their final capital, if so process capital elimination
 +  - Check to see whether this resulted in the player being eliminated
 +
 + 
 +
 +**3. Loop through the list of factory bonuses**
 +
 +  - Check the bonus will not exceed territory maxes / mins and apply change to board state
 +  - Check for abandonment of territory (if this was a negative factory) and abandon is on
 +  - Check to see if this abandonment resulted in the player being eliminated
 +  - Check to see if this abandonment resulted in a player's last capital being destroyed
