Is there a production point in the basegame which is more or less like the factory you want to make?
If so; Make a copy of the xml and start editing the recipe for the production.

Basically you could say the factory takes bread as input, and out comes wooden planks. You can do anything you like. :)

If there's a mod or a basegame factory you like, take a look in the xml how it's done, and adjust as you please.

Make sure you have a text editor. I recommend VSCode.
Look at the log (found in the root folder where you also find mods, savegames etc). This will be valuable to figure out when you're in trouble and need to fix the mod so it works. Often the log will tell you straight out what's wrong.
