01 / THE GUIDE
Production Chain Management
The core loop requires you to import raw materials, store them, refine, brew in tanks, store the finished beer, bottle it, and finally ship the product to clients.
Adding new machines or storage expands capacity but also introduces more logistical steps to monitor.
- Follow the documented sequence of steps when planning new batches.
- Watch for mismatches between brewing and bottling capacity that could slow output.
02 / THE GUIDE
Employee Management
Hiring staff lets you delegate day‑to‑day tasks across the factory. Employees can perform most jobs, but you assign specific duties and monitor their progress.
Effective supervision keeps production flowing and avoids costly delays.
- Assign employees to tasks that match the current production needs.
- Periodically review each worker’s assigned role to ensure coverage.

Financial Economy
Every action carries a cost, from hiring workers to transporting goods and paying taxes. The finance system mirrors real‑world economics, requiring careful budgeting.
Balancing expenses against revenue is essential to keep the brewery solvent.
- Keep an eye on the cost of each action you take.
- Adjust spending when revenue dips to stay financially healthy.

Factory Upgrades
