Only new factories, the branches have been the same just 1 new in south america, because early game is really factory limited (I can sell them but not make them).
Edit. the scaling just seems so wrong, a massive 1 million dollars every month at the end of 1902, for a meagre 620 000 returned over many factories over the whole year.
Edit2: Yes it's is on easy mode so the company grows much faster than a normal or hard game would, and I am abusing every trick in the book to grow that fast.
Edit3: Just tested a new game.
Just built one factory, maybe a bit excessive?
