On the surface I agree with you that retooling feels way to expensive, even more so for branches than factories. I think it is the way it is mostly from a game balance perspective though. I doubt Eric will be willing to reduce it untiill he he gets more $ sinks iinto the game.
I'm curious what your factory makes? I ask becasue I'm a sales manager for a plywood factory (and I worked on the floor at the same factory for a few years about a decade ago) and I would agree that we spend next to nothing on re-tooling. General maintinance, yes, but re-tooling no. I have to wonder if retooling is allso supposed to incorperate maintinance as well?
My understandng of the automotive industry though is that re-tooling is a fairly significannt cost of running a factory.
I imagine it would be different for every industry. Eric has automotive industry experience so mmaybe he can shhed some lighht on it for us?
P.S. Sorry for alll the extra letters and the odd missing space. I'm using a new keybouard Ibought for my tabllet annd it's a bit touchy.......
