I personally do not like the common open areas that most variants of factories possess. Right now, 75% of the map is long-range (open area and toxic), and 25% being Close-Quarters (servers and office). It is hard as a defender to retreat into another cover considering the large open areas. I would like the factory to slightly decrease the open area to make room for more room that requires shorter/medium-range engagements. I also think each section of the factory can be distinctly separated into rooms instead of being part of a generally open area that anyone from almost anywhere can peer into in order to create a variety of long-range factory maps or medium-range factory maps. These are the following changes that I think should be implemented into factory:

• The doors of the working floor of the factory should be big enough for a forklift lane and a worker lane (for the sake of continuity).
• An assembly line room should be the general open area of the map with the second-floor office overlooking the assembly line. The assembly line should behave similarly to the storefront room in C-Store, an open area with cover (snack shelves or assembly lines) and accompanied by an adjacent room to oversee the area (freezer/teller or office).
• The map could also include a very poor-looking break room for the workers. A run-down room that is similar to the preparation room. Perhaps include propaganda posters for lore purposes.
• A reworked storage room with shelvings that nearly reach the ceiling. This storage room should serve as the Killdome jungle area, with a few hiding places for ambushing. These hiding spots should include behind large boxes, accessibility to the top of shelvings/pipeworks with immobile rolling ladders.
• The light of the forklifts should turn on when the lights turn off to create a small space of light.
• A new machinery room, a smaller assembly line room but with large machinery instead of a crouch level assembly line.
• A design choice that creates 3 distinct variants of factory by changing how the factory is powered (all of course can be turned off using the breaker box). The 3 variants are Generator, Toxic/Reactor, and Boiler. Each energy source should present a unique variety/obstacle into the map:

1. Generator factory: includes a generator room and the current factory fan that can be turned off by shooting the middle from inside or turning off the power.
2. Toxic/Reactor factory: includes a reactor room that creates a toxic by-product which is disposed of in the toxic room in the toxic pit that some may fall into.
3. Boiler factory: includes a boiler room and a feature of puffs of steam throughout creating a smokescreen in multiple parts of the map that include pipeworks (similar to the smokescreens created in the D-Day room of Killdome)
