Why am I getting different factory total for effectively the same occupation type?

[Kryndude]

After capitulating China, I got curious which option gives me the most factories so I did some testing. Order same as chart, enough time passed to ensure calculation update.

​

Civilian Oversight​	119​
Harsh Quota​	136​
Puppet All​	138​
Release Nationalist China​	123​
Release Communist China​	122​
Release All Except PRC​	127​

​

Question 1.
Why does making puppets in the peace deal give me way more factories than releasing them afterwards?


Question 2.
Why does having more puppets give more factories than having just one?


Question 3.
If factory output related country modifiers affect puppet's contribution, why do I get so few factories with Civilian Oversight when I have Dispersed Industry unlocked? Both occupied states and Imperial Protectorate are supposed to give me 25% CIV, so direct occupation should have an edge at least in terms of CIV with the tech advantage, but clearly that's not the case.


Save file attached in case anyone wants to take a look, be my guest.

IIRC, Annexation destroys some factories?

Can't find anything that mentions it, pre 1.9 wiki page even says that annexation "reduces the number of available shared slots by -50%; buildings in slots above the new limit will however continue to function."

It also doesn't explain why releasing more puppets gives more factories.
