The short answer
Academy advice notes that construction turrets are often the cheaper way to accelerate production around an existing factory.
A player can improve output without paying the full strategic cost of another lab too early.
Why this matters
- New players often build extra factories because the first one feels slow.
- That can be a bad trade if the issue is build power, not factory count.
- Construction turrets can solve the bottleneck with less waste.
What a player should actually do
- Ask whether the true problem is factory count or total build power.
- Add construction turrets near the lab when the queue is valuable and eco supports it.
- Only expand factory count when strategic flexibility, not just speed, is needed.
Common mistake
The common mistake is paying for whole new factories when the current factory simply needs more support.
