Building Factories

[catch22]

I've read the manual on this, but it's still vague to me. I'm thinking you can build and produce as many factory points as big as the countries' res pool.

In game a I played; I built a factory in Spain giving it 3/3, because it has 3 resources. Res pool 6. I wondered, and built one in hungry, giving it 2/2 even though it has only 1 resource, it's res pool was 3. So I can have a number of factories up to the countries res pool, yes?

There's no limit on how many factories you can build ... resources can get shipped from anywhere you have a transportation link, so the number of resources in the factory region doesn't matter. But factories are expensive and take a long time to build, so there aren't many situations where it's cost effective to build new ones.
