Industrialization Farm

Industrialization transformed agriculture with the same logic it applied to everything else: replace human labor with machines wherever possible. Steam-powered threshing machines arrived in Britain in the 1830s, followed by mechanical reapers in America and steam traction engines pulling gang plows. Justus von Liebig's work on agricultural chemistry introduced artificial fertilizers, multiplying yields on exhausted soils dramatically. The mechanized farm feeds a factory-working urban population that never touches a plow and simultaneously feeds the armies those factories equip. In the game it provides the highest food output of any pre-modern agricultural building and generates secondary income from commercialized surplus. Road network proximity is essential — isolated from transport infrastructure, machines are idle and surplus rots. Build it alongside your industrial core and keep workers nearby for efficient harvesting.
