"Citizens become consumers, and clamour for mass-produced goods."
The Industrial Revolution is the eighth generator that produces Ideas and the first generator of the Technological Civilizations. In this age, humanity creates the first machines that allows for mass production. This also marks the point where ecosystems begin to be badly damaged because of pollution.
Description[]
"The scientific processes we began to understand during the Scientific Revolution give way to unbelievable progress - now, machines work for us in massive factories, while steam power propels us across the globe."
Design[]
The Industrial Revolution icon is a blue steam engine with white smoke coming through its pipe.
Upgrades[]
The Industrial Revolution has <number of upgrades> upgrades, increasing the generator efficiency with a <total multiplier>x multiplier.

|
Do the Locomotion | In 1700, it took four days to travel from Manchester, England to London. Because of the Advent of the steam train, by 1870, it took just four hours. | 25 Industrial Revolution |
|
Not Kid Approved | Child labor was common in the industrial Era. Children as young as four or five worked in factories and mines, often suffering terrible mistreatment and injuries or death. | 50 Industrial Revolution |
|
Smash the Establishment | The Luddites were a group of traditional textile workers who felt threatened by the Industrial Revolution, and would perform radical actions of protest such as smashing textile machines. | 100 Industrial Revolution |
|
Population Boom | One of the biggest changes of the Industrial Age was the migration of populations from the country to cities. By 1900, urban populations had increased from only 15% of all people to 85%. | 150 Industrial Revolution |
|
Fashion Forward | Wearing black was extremely popular in English cities during the Industrial Age because the air was so polluted from soot anbd other factory byproducts that it created a think, constant smog that would stain clothing. | 250 Industrial Revolution |
