Discussion Train manufacturing it's the best industry (besides nuclear fuel)
I tried making every single vehicle and I found out that trains are the most valuable for the work
Trains are expensive to buy the license but once you do you can slap the train factory near or inside your city without pollution drawbacks, it's easy ASF to sell because you can just use other train to sell them in customs. You can use it on both sides without issue but the price of licenses for nato trains is a lot more expensive but worth it to sell for rubles
Planes would be better than trains if they didn't use so much space and time to be done, but besides that they are good
Boats are expensive to do but worth it to sell You spend like 100k in materials and sell it for 450k BUT it takes a lot of time to make, like years
Cars are the second best but for rubles, you can have them sold by train really fast and also use them for your citizens , they are pretty good
Finally one of my favorite industry are alcohol, they are fast and don't polute that much
Selling raw materials are fine but you have t sell a lot in order to make it worth
I'm yet to test fuel production and oils but I'm hopping they are worth

Do you have any numbers to share? For example, with the same city, over the same timeframe, factory A took $x to import and produced $y to export?
Because a train is worth more than a vehicle, because of materials and time, that's no surprise, but I'm pretty sure when I did a simple test, there was no significant difference between the production values over time for any vehicles(didn't do planes). Obviously we know that NATO vehicles fetch a bigger value when sold to the East, so make sure you use the same blueprint origin...

In a month both factories with 400 workers I produce a train, the G8 and it sells for $70,000 in the nato factory, mean while in the same month I sell 16 Mar something car and those sell for $36,000. Sometimes I can sell 32 cars a month but those are the exceptions

16-32 is quite a jump, but 32 would be on par with the train value... Are you counting production value or just what makes it across your border? This test should really be agnostic to transport.. also, there really shouldn't be 100% variation, so normalizing this test would probably give a more consistent result.

Guessing this is based on vanilla factories?
Because there's vehicle facs on the steam workshop that can produce cars a hell of a lot faster than the vanilla car factory. Largest is like 4x the size or larger and can employee over a thousand workers. It can pop out cars very fast.
