Materials Produced[]
Factories can produce 11 different Raw Materials. More materials are unlocked as the mayor levels up. Materials take time to produce. Depending on the material, the time it takes to produce will be different. Once a material has been put into a factory's slot, it will start producing it. Each factory can produce multiple materials simultaneously and will continue to produce them when the mayor closes the game. A material that is being produced can be sped up with SimCash, the amount of SimCash varies depending on the remaining time. A produced material will hover on top of the factory forever until collected.
