Description
True skill is expressed with sublime elegance.
A craft workshop improves economic growth in a province, as workers can produce their goods more efficiently.
Craftsmen of all kinds are vital to a province, and add to the quality of life for everyone. From the high lord to the simple peasant, all appreciate objects that are well made. Skilled craftsmen have always been admired in Japan, no matter what their individual trade. The master potter who creates a perfect pot is as well regarded as the scholar who can write beautifully, or the gardener who grows a perfect blossom. It is not only a Japanese accomplishment, but what sets such craftsmen apart is their absolute dedication to their work and, in the end, the almost-instinctive ability to make the very hard appear very simple.
Other Information
Upgrading a Cottage Industry presents you with three choices, each of them having a different cost and value.
Comparison
| Craft Workshop | Silk Weaving Shed | Cotton Weaving Shed | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Required Resource | Silk | Cotton | |
| Construction Cost | 3500 | 3800 | 3900 |
| Construction Time | 5 | 4 | 6 |
| Wealth | +1250 | +1300 | +1200 |
| Growth | +1 | +1 | +3 |

| Happiness | -1 | -1 | -2 |
- The Craft Workshop contributes +2 points to modernisation, requires no special resource, and is the cheapest to build but is the second-most slowest option.
- The Silk Weaving Shed is the fastest to build and adds the most to town wealth but only contributes +1 point to modernisation, requires silk, and is the second-most expensive option.
- The Cotton Weaving Shed contributes +3 points to clan modernisation and town growth but requires Exports of Cotton from the western powers, is expensive and slow to build, adds the least to town wealth, and inflicts a harsher penalty to public order.
Summary
The Easiest and Quickest way to reach Clan Development Level-4 is to build Craft Workshops in every province that you own. Then as soon as you max out, build Silk Weaving Sheds only since you won't need Craft Workshops anymore.
The Craft Workshop is the best option if you are low on funds or don't have special resources, or if you want Modernization without the a Public Order Penalty. All 3 Industry buildings eventually upgrade to a Factory, so don't worry too much about which choice you make.
