Efficiency

Efficiency is the measure of how good an industry is as producing exceptional goods. The following graphs show how efficient an industry is after a certain investment of upgrades in either workers (y axis) or efficiency improvements (x axis). Add the numbers on each axis to find the required level for that efficiency. For example, if one has the resources to upgrade their kiln to level 10, find a combination of x and y which add to 10 and that resides in the lightest color on the chart. Lighter colors represent higher total poduction. The charts start at 3 (x = 1, y = 2) because an industry must be at least level 3 (2 workers, 1 efficiency upgrade) to produce exceptional goods.

City

Efficiency of city industries is determined by the formula 20% + 6%(Eff -1)



Country Efficiency

Efficiency of country industries is determined by the formula 30% + 9%(Eff-1).



Rule of Thumb

Graphing five scenarios: 1. all workers 2. 3/4 workers, 1/4 efficiency 3. 1/2 workers, 1/2 efficiency 4. 1/4 workers, 3/4 efficiency 5. all efficiency.

we see a close tie between the effectiveness of 3/4 and 1/2 workers. 1/2 only becomes superior after level 10 in an industry.
