Productivity Formula

Productivity

Company workers produce a certain number of production units as per the following formula. These production units accumulate in a queue within the company and each time a sufficient quantity is available of both production units and raw materials, the production units are converted into finished goods.

Production Units = ( Skill * Wellness Factor * Regional Factor * Employee Factor ) / Quality

Wellness Factor

The Wellness Factor (WF) refers to the total wellness out of 100 a citizen has when he works.

WF = ( Wellness / 100 ) + 1

Regional Factor

The Regional Factor (RF) is used to account for regional raw materials companies' production:

• High resources: RF = 2.0
• Medium resources: RF = 1.0
• Low resources: RF = 0.1

For manufacturing and construction companies, productivity does not vary by regional raw materials:

• RF = 1

Employee Factor

The Employee Factor (EF) is determined by the number of employees working in a company (N), and the Most Efficient Number (N_efficient).

For N <= Nefficient EF = 2

For N >= Nefficient EF = Max( 1, 3 - ( N / Nefficient ) )

Efficient number of employees

The Most Efficient Number (of employees) (N_efficient) depends upon the company type:

Company type	Nefficient
Raw materials and Manufacturing	10
House	20
Hospital	25
Defense System	25

Production units

Products require a certain number of production units to generate one complete item:

Product	Production units required	Raw material type required	Raw Material quantity per Quality
	2		2
	3		3
	5		5
	4		4
	200		200
	1000		1000
	2000		2000
	2000		2000

• Manufacturing and construction products are shown as Q1 products.

Examples

Example 1: Grain Company

A Land worker of skill 3 and wellness = 90 works in a Grain company located in a high productivity region. Lets assume that the company has no more than 10 employees.

1. Wellness Factor = (90/100) + 1 = 1.9
2. Regional factor for high productivity grain is 2
3. Employee factor = 2
4. Productivity (per employee) = Wellness Factor * Skill * Regional Factor * Employee Factor / Quality

   = 1.9 * 3 * 2 * 2 / 1

   = 22.8

Therefore: Raw materials require 1 production units so this means 22 units of grain are produced (note that rounded quantities accumulate in the company queue).

Example 2: Q3 Food Company

A manufacturing worker of skill 5 and wellness at 100 works in a Q3 food company with a total 15 employees.

1. Wellness Factor = (100/100) + 1 = 2.0
2. Regional factor for all manufacturing is 1
3. Employee factor = 3 - 15/10 = 1.5 (note that the use of employees above the preferred maximum level incurs a productivity loss)
4. Productivity (per employee) = Wellness Factor * Skill * Regional Factor * Employee Factor / Quality

   = 2.0 * 5 * 1 * 1.5 / 3

   = 5.0

Therefore: Food requires 2 production units each so this will produce 2.5 units of food.
