The Detroit Plant, opened in 1942 to support the American war effort by taking advantage of local industrial infrastructure and know-how, has just announced its impending closure after years of downsizing. The plant focused primarily on ground vehicles, and was once one of three large Graingy production plants in the United States of America.
The final nail in the coffin was, according to plant management and Graingy executives, "impending economic disaster" in the United States. Political issues previously resulted in the closure of the other two plants in late 2016 after the presidential election. Graingy choosing to distance itself from troublesome markets and "irrational regulations" is not without precedent, though it'll yet to be seen how the manufacturing giant will fill the hole in its production.
This is the first I've heard of this, frankly I'm not surprised.
Note that this does not mean that Graingy products will become unavailable in the US, rather that prices will likely increase.
@Graingy ah ok
@MosquitowithaMachineGun I see. Licensing sounds complicated. I will pass this up to the Brass, but I am certain no action will be taken.
@Graingy I didn't create this, when I first made EQ, I only made it to give me planes in Plane Crazy names, but, over time some of my friends made it a whole fictional company thing, EQ merged with another company, TJ, to form PMS. I was oringally gonna have PMS be part of the USA, but changed it to Underameia, which was created by another friend
@MosquitowithaMachineGun Care to provide more information?
(Including meta, like who created this. You?)
@Graingy yea.
@MosquitowithaMachineGun Where is that? Is that a continent?
Graingy's operations in the Tumour have as of yet been largely constrained to the Garrison Archipelago.
@Graingy the west coast of Underameia
@MosquitowithaMachineGun of?
@Graingy uhh, yes........
It's located on the west coast
@MosquitowithaMachineGun Armora?
@Graingy oh.. uhh, I'm saying it will be for sale. There was a typo in the report thingy. Also, it will be sold in the state Armora
@MosquitowithaMachineGun As the seller you're going to need to supply diagrams. You've also said nothing of the state it would be in upon sale.
It is unwise to disuse your primary facility before its replacement is completed and found suitable, or are you saying it will be for sale?
@Graingy It was our main facility, mainly being final assembly, but if the others get bombed or something it can do both. It also can act as a office building and a whole bunch of stuff. However, we abandoned because it was outdated for us. Plus, we are building new one thats above and under ground, but that's not gonna be done until 2028
@MosquitowithaMachineGun I need more detail than land area. What facilities? Infrastructure? What was its former output? What was it equipped to do? Final assembly or part fabrication?
@Graingy about 86 Acres, 87 if you count the weapons testing.
@MosquitowithaMachineGun hm. How large?
@Graingy yea.
@MosquitowithaMachineGun Is it in the Tumour?
Alternatively known as the world of SimplePlanes.
@Graingy The country that my company PMS originates from.
@MosquitowithaMachineGun Edge of where? If it's in the Tumour then we'll probably pass, at least to any major extent. We try to keep most of our large production capacity within Universe-1.
@Graingy my company PMS is selling an old plant on the edge of Underameia, if you want you can take that.
@EagleMan010 Aight
Read this.
@Graingy I'm bored
@EagleMan010 ?
