InManor Lords, the annexation of other territories requires hours of preparatory work, includinggrowing thesettlement’s population, producing food, and establishing industries. Industries open avenues to diversify the settlement in terms ofoccupation,farming, and resource gathering. Establishing industries and offering employment to citizens automates finished goods production. However, to keep a medieval automation machinery running, a steady supply of raw material production is equally essential.
Since industries inManor Lordsdon’t have inherent checks and balances, it’s easier to overproduce goods than required. However, the game does include a pause feature for most production structures, enabling players to control resource production rates. The following guide aims at helping players figure out how to stop production inManor Lords.

Why Manage Production Rate
There are several reasons why players would want to manage the production rate of their goods. Early on in the game,players have limited tools and Development Pointsat their disposal to upgrade their settlement.
An importantDevelopment Pointupgrade is aDeep Mining upgradethat enables unlimited mining of iron ore and clay. Using regular mining can deplete iron ores and clay, which can prevent smelting of ore to iron slabs for advanced goods.

Sometimes, it may be necessary to maintain a surplus of raw products like timber and firewood to ensure steady production of finished goods.
Since production of goods requires large amounts of raw products, players should also consider balancing out raw materials gathering for goods production. This is where production rate management becomes crucial. It may be necessary to halt production of goods until raw resources are gathered.

How To Pause Production
Players looking to pause production in Manor Lords can follow the below-mentioned steps:
While it’s a viable strategy to sell excess goods to generate regional wealth, it’s also important to understand thatoverselling a specific resource or finished good lowers its value.
Additionally, players might want to utilize a specific resource to address multiple production challenges, such asprioritizing plate armor over shields.This is where players may want to pause production of shields to concentrate iron ore and iron slabs to meet plate armor production.
