Quick question about improvements to trade company provinces

[stevieji]

Whatever happened to the Quick Question Thread?

I'm wondering whether to build a Trade Station in a province that is assigned to my Moluccan Trade Co. The build menu tells me that it will earn me an additional 61 gold, but surely this can't be right? Production value in the province is currently 0.6.

Is there a general rule on improvements to provinces assigned to trade companies?

That's a strange number, do you have / not have some major dlc?

Anyway manufactories add +1 local goods produced, which is a flat increase, which means it's more than doubling your current production value there (0.6 -> 1.6)
Also manufactories increase your money not only in production value, but in trade income, especially the farther down the trade line they are (if you're getting most of the trade pushed along)

It probably says something like +0.61 ? if it does, that's a good number. I think it means +0.61 ducats per month (production only- remember it doesn't factor trade) but I'm not sure

combine it with +50% production income buildings for huge profits
compare building a production building on two identical provinces, one with a manufactory and one without

EDIT: !!
Also there will be some manufactories that should show 0.05 or some other low number, these are low like this because it's a non-state high-autonomy province so you wouldn't get much DIRECT PRODUCTION INCOME out of this increase
you shouldn't build these right away obvioulsy

HOWEVER
once you near 100% control that trade node it's 100% worth it to build these as they're still producing that +1 and contributing it to trade node value which leads to further huge income
obviously build the 0.61 ones first

Sure its not 0.61?

Build factories and workshops in TC provinces. Churches also make more in TCs than in non-states due to the zero autonomy, but you're generally better off building a workshop or manufactory elsewhere than an church.

Sorry, yes 0.61. That makes more sense - and I'll generally build if the value is over 0.40 - so looks good.

Thanks.

My man, there is a fresh thread on Trade Company buildings started a few hours ago, still on page 1.

Quick Questions thread also still on page 1.
