Part 2

Personnel are an addition the the functionality of factorio .The operation and regulation of factorio's facilities individually and grouped .The dynamic of the personnel to patrol different sections of the factory .As the factory gets bigger the more personnel are needed .If a section of the factory is unattended for too long then it shuts down .

The zombies do not attack the factory it self .But infect the personnel .Different to the biter model that eat the factory .
