Wiki / Player Guide / Industry Office

Industry Office

Optional Enhanced building: staffed scribes with papyrus can mothball or resume nearby workshops from one panel. Default is OFF (not in original Pharaoh).

What it does

  1. Enable Industry Office under Features → Gameplay (gameplay_enhanced_industry_office).
  2. Build from Administration (after Courthouse) — placeholder green cubes + “OFFICE” until art lands.
  3. Stock papyrus (storage-yard delivery, same pattern as scribal school) and keep workers.
  4. Open the office info panel → Mothball all / Resume all for covered industry.

Placement ghost shows a blue management radius. Without papyrus or workers the buttons stay disabled; already-mothballed workshops are not auto-resumed.

What it manages

Chebyshev radius 7 from the 2×2 footprint. Includes mothballed workshops so you can turn them back on.

Papyrus & labor

Office panel

Shows papyrus stock, worker count, managed workshop count, and bulk mothball / resume. Inactive offices show why (needs papyrus, needs workers, or flag off).
