Factories and Employment

Just a few simple questions:

1.) Where does the money that factories make go? How does this help the government?

Salaries for its workers and capitalists. You get tax from them again (as well as producation of materials that might help other industry in your sphere)

1). Money made by factories goes straight to craftsmen and capitalist pops as income. I don't know how the income formulae work, but they generally make more money when profits are up. They still make money when the factory is failing as long as it's open, I'm just not sure how much.

2). As long as there's work available for farmers and labourers, some craftsmen will convert, though it seems it's in lower numbers in 1.2. Consult the pop conversion charts. Generally pops will slowly convert to craftsmen overall, but it will get much faster if there's no more work in the RGO's. You can fill up the RGO's through pop health technologies (which will increase your overall population), and through the power techs, which reduce the size of all farm RGO's.
