One major factor in production is whether your home country has an enemy unit present and whether there has been a land combat in your home country. In both cases, the production multiple increases (temporarily). So if France moves into Germany, crossing the Maginot Line and launches an attack on German units in their homeland, that increase Germany's production quite a bit (0.5 * the number of producing factories).

The US also has some control over its production multiple with increases depending on taking certain US Entry Options.

The latter are described in one of the Moments of Wow screenshots - of all the US Entry Options.

you can spend build points to create more factories and thus increase your production in the long run, so, yes on that question.

you can also choose to build Synthetic Oil plants that increase the Oil resources available for production, or for units to use.

Certain powers can also develop fixed-location oil fields such as in Libya or Kuwait; not positive if these are included yet in MWiF.

Italy can build the first and Cw the second.

but as they are both exposed, don't build them

IIRC, they're also more expensive than regular synth plants, and can be captured, as opposed to destroyed, if the enemy overrun the hex.


I honestly never understood why you'd ever build them.

I seem to recall doing to as Italy at WiFCon in 2005; if so, it was because we had all but turned the Med into an Axis lake from 1940 through 1944.

(My memory is a bit hazy on this so I won't say for sure that I did it - I did seriously consider it, at least.)
