Description
A loom can weave the story of the past.
A silk manufactory significantly adds to the wealth of a province, and helps industry to grow, but access to silk is obviously required before it can be built. As a traditional material and craft process, silk adds to the traditionalist outlook of a province's population. Only one manufactory may be built.
Mass production of silk fabrics tends to be a craft activity carried out on a grand scale, with many weavers working on many looms. Machine-made silks, while all very fine, lack the subtleties and refinement of handmade cloth. In the mid-19th Century, such silks would have been the height of modernity in Europe, and therefore shunned by those who valued tradition and the "old ways".

The Silk Manufactory is a top tier Industry building. Your Clan can only have 1. It is slightly inferior to the Cotton Processing Plant, but causes less unrest. Build it in a Region that has the Largest possible city to maximize Income.
If you are about to conquer a Region with a Silk Manufactory and can build one yourself, do it before you conquer the Region. A clan can acquire multiple Silk Manufactories through conquest but can only build 1.
