I have played through Manufacture Mode and I liked it in general, but what I found was that you didn’t really need to scale your factory, you just needed to create one line of your needed shape and than wait for the goal to complete.
I am suggesting that you add or change how the trading hubs work by only produce shapes if you supply it with at least “X” shapes/minute. That way you need to scale to be able to get the trading stations to produce any shapes at all.
This would be a very good incentive to plan your factory well and make sure it scales all the way.
Hope you see this as a good change/addition :)
