Summary:
Instead of making productions to complete quests to get badges, we could add new FA buildings that produce badges directly.
Description:
Add 10 new buildings to the game (it sounds like a lot, but a simple reskin/color of a workshop should be easy enough)
The buildings passively produce badges (like how a residence makes coins, but without the early collect option)
Pros:
Cons:

2x2 10s construction time
makes 1 Dwarven brew badge every 5 minutes, waits to be collected.
obviously the spots on the map would have to reflect that you now make this badge 50x faster

2x4 10s construction time
makes 1 necklace badge every 9h, waits to be collected.

Pros:
- Removes the quest system from the FA
- Removes the need to set productions
- Adds a more cooperative element and organization to the FA as players can discuss and place those buildings that suit their activity.
- Spots on the map would now look like 150 dwarven needed instead of 3 (but you make them 50x as fast), so players could more easily "split" the work of completing a spot.
- Greatly reduces the risk of leaving a FS member behind since everyone is effectively making loads of badge pieces and is able to insert partial badges.
- Evens the playing field a bit between players with fewer normal factories/workshops and those that normally run many.
- Opens up possibilities for the quest givers for daily quests, and/or an actual questline with things like "Gain XXXX coins" rewards Y badge.
Cons:
- Not sure how to work the new spell badges into this(ideas are most welcome)
- You can't use your existing buildings to make badges, so you must place new buildings to participate. This is a biggie, but but I figure almost everyone who is currently successful in the FA is already placing some extra buildings anyways.
