A Factory within a city.

Factories are the buildings that increase Spice production, but lower city happiness. They cost 800§ and are unique to the Civilization Stage and Space Stage. Their production rate doubles if placed near a House, while the happiness deduction will stay the same. They will produce 1 unit of unhappiness, and 1 more unit per link with an Entertainment building. Balancing out production and happiness will make you less vulnerable to a religious takeover from another city. When you place one down, you can hear your citizens jeering at your choice.
If there are no religious cities in the current game you are playing, you should feel free to place as many factories as you wish, as there will be no threat to you should your city be completely unhappy. Though this may cause your city to revolt, cutting its production in half.
