SO, the civilian factories and their build times are confusing me a bit. Here's what is happening:
When a factory is gained from trade, it is counting towards the factories owned. BAM! That was kind of it. AND, it was fixed by the WWW part 3 so that's that.
The line in Sussex is good to judge speed by, since it is full with 15. There were about 2.18 factories built in 180 days, that gives just over 82.5 days for a full line (of 15 civ factories) to produce a civilian factory. The Gluochestershire line seems to be similar if averaged so any efficiency gain after finishing a factory seems unnoticed at this point. The German Thuringen line had around 12.5 out of 15 factories on it to create about 1.37 factories in about 156 days, that gives about 114 days per factory. (if full it would be just under 95 days per line)
Well 82.5 *15 = 1238 factory days for the brits and 114*12.5 = 1425 for the germans. That's about a 15% increase for the brits, so something is going their way. There is a +10% civ factory bonus due to civilian economy for the brits as opposed to -10% partial mobilization for the germans. The brits first PP move was not a minister but an industrial concern - but that effects research, not production. The trade laws are also going the brit's way, getting factory output +10% and research is +10%. *will have to check WWW part 3 to see what happened...*
11+ military factories in 98 days for the germans made by 45 civilian factories - like 375 factory days in 1939 start for the germans - much faster, they had a bunch of bonuses by then. Had already added 65 civilian factories in 2.5 years - way faster.
