About this mod
Makes the 3 assembly line multifactories look a bit more visually distinctive by adding new models.

Don't you also feel like the devs were kind of lazy when they did the multifactories as an excuse to give every building the exact same model?
While the devs are probably working on the next Anno title, I fixed the obvious issues with the assembly line: For some reason, the exact same factory is used to produce both elevators and, yes, biscuits. If you didn't know already, let me tell you: These are two very different things. Not only do they differ in size and material (at least I haven't seen any elevators made from flour and sugar), their production process is quite different too.
From what I've heard the most important machine needed to make biscuits is called an oven. So I ordered my engineers to redesign the biscuit "assembly line". They decided to remove that unnecessarily high tower and instead but in a few furnaces for the ovens exhaust.
While at it, they noticed that the typewriter assembly line could also do pretty well without such a high roof as typewriters are somewhat smaller than elevators. Yet Mr. Bader noted that he needed the high tower for testing purposes (sometimes he throws a typewriter from the tower (often quite close to the workers), in his words to see if the typewriters are sturdy enough). We agreed to just make the tower a little bit smaller then.
Okay, back to the topic. With this mod installed, all three assembly line buildings have a distinct 3d model which should improve the look of your city.
Version 1.1: Added glass windows to the Biscuit Manufactory.
