"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.

Icon	Name	Description	Cost	Efficiency	Requires
File:Industrial Revolution Steam Engine.png	Steam Engine	A new power source, with promis for both transport and manufacturing. We're in the age of coal and steam. The Industrial Revolution is here.	Ideas 1.14 E6	10%	Scientific Revolution
File:Industrial Revolution Zipper.png	Zipper	A fastener that uses interlocking teeth to bind the edges of open fabric.	Ideas 3.83 E6	10%	Industrial Revolution
File:Industrial Revolution Light Bulb.png	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.

File:Industrial Revolution Morse Code.png	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 7,67 E6	10%	Industrial Revolution
File:Industrial Revolution Factory.png	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 7.67 E6	20%	Industrial Revolution
File:Industrial Revolution Loom.png	Loom	Making clothes can be difficult work, but now we can start weaving thread into cloth. Who knows, perhaps some day, some machine-loom will do the work for us?	Ideas 1.15 E7	10%	Industrial Revolution
File:Industrial Revolution Morphine.png	Morphine	No longer mush 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 1.15 E7	10%	Industrial Revolution
File:Industrial Revolution Radio.png	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 1.53 E7	10%	Morse Code
File:Industrial Revolution Chemistry.png	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 1.53 E7	10%	Factory Biology
File:Industrial Revolution Mechanical Loom.png	Mechanical Loom	Why, what do you know? A machine-loom is doing the work for us. Textile creation is fully automated.	Ideas 3.83 E7	10%	Loom
File:Industrial Revolution Photography.png	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 3.83 E7	15%	Chemistry
File:Industrial Revolution General Anesthetic.png	General Anesthetic	Anesthetics are chemical compounds that induce a reversible loss of conciousness 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 4.60 E7	10%	Morphine
File:Industrial Revolution Locomotives.png	Locomotives	The engine that pulls train cars, locomotives facilitate mass travel faster then ever before. We're building more and more complex engines, to power even bigger vehicles.	Ideas 1.15 E8	10%	Steam Engine
File:Industrial Revolution Phonograph.png	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 1.15 E8	20%	Radio
File:Industrial Revolution Punched Card.png	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 1.92 E8	10%	Mechanical Loom
File:Industrial Revolution Silent Film.png	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 1.92 E8	25%	Photography
File:Industrial Revolution Transistor.png	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 5.68 E8	40%	Atomic Age
File:Industrial Revolution Combustion Engine.png	Combustion Engine	By igniting fuel, combustion engines are able to generate mechanical power and speed up our world.	Ideas 1.37 E11	50%	Locomotives
