Industrial Plant

The Industrial Plant were large factories used by the Soviets in GWWIII for better economic efficiency. Industrial Plants decreased the price and build-time of vehicles, ships, and aircraft by 25% by streamlining the production process with robotic construction drones which could build far faster than any human worker, and by removing the need for some human worker shifts allowed for less pay being diverted to the workers, in addition to making more effective use for materials allowed for cheaper and faster production.

This allowed Soviet vehicles to outnumber their rivals as they became cheaper than their rivals. For example, the Rhino tank became noticeably less expensive than even the Lasher Tanks, which allowed great hordes of Soviet vehicles to pour from war factories, and some lucky Soviet commanders who had an allied base would have ore purifiers to allow even more tanks to pour out, combining the extra ore credits with the reduced vehicle, ship, and aircraft cost to effectively "reduce" costs by "50%".

In fact some say these won the war against Yuri, allowing the Soviets to pour out more tanks than Yuri's mind control could handle. They certainly did make a large impact upon Soviet tactics once built, changing from smaller numbers of superior units to vastly larger numbers of superior units, finally giving the Soviets the quantity advantage as well as the quality advantage they always had.

However for all their effectiveness their specialization prevented the plants from affecting structure and defense construction, and the Psychic Dominator Disaster ended before a construction version could be built.

Oddly this somehow affected the price of dolphins and giant squids, even though they are trained not produced, to date this has yet to be explained reasonably within the parameters of an in universe perspective.

During World War III, the Industrial Plant is not deployed on the battlefield but the Mass Production Top Secret Protocol provides similar effects.
