Industrial Revolution is the 8th Civilization and the 1st Modern Civilization generator obtained in the Primary Simulation, which can generate Ideas Ideas. 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.

Design

The Industrial Revolution icon is a blue steam engine with white smoke coming through its pipe.

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."

Upgrades

Industrial Revolution has 19 upgrades, increasing the generator efficiency with a total x27.28549 multiplier.

Icon	Name	Description	Cost	Efficiency	Requires
	Steam Engine	A new power source, with promise for both transport and manufacturing. We're in the age of coal and steam. The Industrial Revolution is here.	Ideas 1.14e6	10%	Scientific Revolution
	Light Bulb	In ancient times, our lives were dictated by the passage of the Sun. Candles could provide some light against the darkness, but with electric lighting we can turn night into day, and more than ever before we can control our own hours.	Ideas 3.83e6	10%	Industrial Revolution
	Zipper	A fastener that uses interlocking teeth to bind the edges of open fabric.	Ideas 3.83e6	10%	Industrial Revolution
	Factory	An industrial site or complex where workers manufacture goods. We are now able to process large amounts of materials and output products at a higher rate.	Ideas 7.67e6	20%	Industrial Revolution
	Morse Code	Using this code of taps and clicks, we were able to transmit text over the newly invented telegraph, allowing us to send messages to each other over long distances almost instantaneously. Communication will never be the same.	Ideas 7.67e6	10%	Industrial Revolution
	Loom	Making clothes can be difficult work, but now we can start weaving thread into cloth. Who knows, perhaps one day, some machine-loom will do the work for us?	Ideas 1.15e7	10%	Industrial Revolution
	Morphine	No longer must we suffer through the pain of surgery—with morphine, we are able to anesthetize ourselves into bliss. Just don’t take too much—this magic medicine is also one of the most addictive substances known to man.	Ideas 1.15e7	10%	Chemistry
	Chemistry	The scientific study of atoms, elements, and molecules, chemistry allows us to synthesize new compounds for the first time. We are inventing brand new substances, with millions of uses.	Ideas 1.53e7	10%	Biology Industrial Revolution
	Radio	Transmitter and receiver: with the right equipment and the use of radio waves, we can now send messages across miles. When it comes to mass communication and entertainment, we've entered a new era.	Ideas 1.53e7	10%	Morse Code
	Mechanical Loom	Hey, what do you know? A machine-loom is doing the work for us. Textile creation is fully automated.	Ideas 3.83e7	10%	Loom
	Photography	Before photography, the only way to capture an image was by painting or drawing it. But now, new chemical processes allow us to snap a shot of an image quickly—and these images can last forever.	Ideas 3.83e7	15%	Chemistry Composition of Light
	Locomotives	The engine that pulls train cars, locomotives facilitate mass travel faster than ever before. We’re building more and more complex engines, to power even bigger vehicles.	Ideas 1.15e8	10%	Steam Engine
	Phonograph	The phonograph allows users to record and replay sounds. Musicians, actors, and public speakers all marvel as their voices travel across the world... without them!	Ideas 1.15e8	20%	Radio
	Punched Card	Using punched cards, information can now be stored and processed for later use. A common tool for political elections and census data, the punched card sets the stage for an even more powerful tool soon to come: the computer.	Ideas 1.92e8	10%	Mechanical Loom
	Transistor	One of the building blocks of modern electronic devices, transistors can amplify or switch electronic signals. Without them, the internet would not exist.	Ideas 5.68e8	40%	Atomic Age
	General Anesthetic	Anesthetics are chemical compounds that induce a reversible loss of consciousness in humans. Operations are now painless, and doctors can calmly work on immobile patients who will be free from the traumatic memories of surgery.	Ideas 1.42e9	10%	Morphine Atomic Age
	Silent Film	One step further than still photography, now we can capture the image of objects in motion and replay it back for our entertainment. Sure, we can’t record sound yet… but it’s only a matter of time.	Ideas 1.92e8	25%	Photography
	Combustion Engine	By igniting fuel, combustion engines are able to generate mechanical power and speed up our world.	Ideas 1.37e11	50%	Locomotives 50 Industrial Revolution
	Machine Gun	Automatic firearms enable their users to load less and fire more. Combat moves into the future.	Ideas 1.48e14	100%	Rifle 100 Industrial Revolution

Achievements

Icon	Name	Description	Requires
	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 machinery.	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 and other factory byproducts that it created a thick, constant smog that would stain clothing.	250 Industrial Revolution
