The construction density will depend on the height of the building and the area of the land lot.
The lookup table on the density allowed to build factory buildings
| Building height above ground (m) | Building density (%) with area ≤ 5000 m2 | Building density (%) with area 10.000 m2 | Building density (%) with area ≥ 20.000m2 |
