Industrial technology directly reflects the construction process, workshop, industrial level of progress. It offers a range of percentage bonuses and expands the industrial capacity of the region.
A variety of newly developed milling machines can be used in military production, from the small and versatile types available to any machine shop to the large scale, advanced models that push the technological limits.
Turret lathes are proving indispensable for mass production. Ensuring efficient construction and use of the lathes themselves will give us a significant industrial advantage.
Automating machine tools using servomechanisms has been discussed before. Putting these ideas into practice allows making use of other advancements in automation, such as computers.
As well-oiled a machine as the assembly line may be, it is still manned by humans, which allows for adaptation when needed. We should make use of this in our industrial production.
The standardization and rigid structure of the assembly line are keys to its efficiency and safety. These should be the key aspects to develop in our industrial production.
By having not only our industry, but the infrastructure tying it together operate in secrecy, we can make it even more difficult to destroy through aerial attacks.
Progress in geology helps us determine the location of resources. We can now focus our extraction efforts in places where there is a greater chance that large amounts of natural resources will be found.
Our oil refinineries can be further improved with new advanced oil processing methods like hydrocracking, alkylation, mercaptan oxidation and isomerization.
A general purpose synthetic rubber recepie with improved processes such as dodecyl mercaptan polymerization modifiers will allow us to expand synthetic rubber production.

In 1936, after researching the technology basic machine tools, the player has a choice between two mutually exclusive industrial technologies branches: Concentrated industry and dispersed industry. Each of these has its positives and its negatives, and it depends on the player's play style.
Concentrated industry
Has 5 levels that can be researched which span from 1936 to 1943. Each new level provides the same bonus as previous levels. By choosing Concentrated Industry, the player is increasing his production substantially. This will allow the player to build more factories and make pre-existing ones more efficient.
Dispersed industry
Has also 5 levels that can be researched between 1936 and 1943. Each new level provides the same bonuses except the first one, which provides different rewards than the rest. By choosing dispersed industry, the player is reducing vulnerability to bombing and allows for quicker changing of production lines.
One can think of the two styles as maximizing potential production at any given production efficiency vs. decreasing time to achieve 100% production efficiency.
