What is the point of the factory? It costs significantly more than resource specific boosters yet it doesn't provide any bonus over them. They need to be buffed significantly imo.

Yup useless.
so you can deposit multiple production resources into the same building?
I dunno...i've never built one, but in theory it seems pretty useful for areas with a lot of stone/iron/trees mixed together
Why would you ever waste time on stone and trees when Iron is available? That's why the factory is useless. You might as well Build a Village Green for the same price and get more use out of it if you want workers to share the drop off point without the share penalty.
When you're strapped for production, there are situations where using a factory near a nice source of both Iron and Stone is better than using the individual buildings. But yes, the utility of factories is definitely very situational.
Nope. Its pointless as it is now...
Worse than pointless when you find out the hard way.
sorry, but you are mistaken... the only situation where a factory has an advantage is when you're harvesting all 3 types of hammers... otherwise it's the same thing, for only 2 types... factory=500 hammers forge=250+mason=250=> 500...
and btw...how come the factory exists without mass production? they are interdependent
