Production efficiency is tracked separately for each factory. This represents a shortfall of at most 166.6 factory-days of output relative to a factory running at cap for the same period. Therefore it takes at most 500 days for a fully-supplied line to reach the cap. The minimum possible base growth per day is thus about 0.05% (near the starting cap of 50%), and the maximum 1% (100% cap & 10% current efficiency).Īlternatively, the relative time in days to reach a particular level of production efficiency is given byįor example, going from 25% of the cap to 75% of the cap takes days. (All quantities can be expressed in terms of percent or as a fraction, as long as they are expressed in the same terms everywhere.) The base production efficiency growth per day is: All of these can potentially be increased by industry technology, research, and national focuses. Production efficiency starts at a base (10% without modifiers) and increases each day up to a production efficiency cap (50% without modifiers). Running the same production line continuously gradually increases its efficiency. The higher the efficiency, the faster the production line produces equipment, up to a maximum value. This is measured in factory-days relative to running at production efficiency cap for the entire period.Įach production line has its own efficiency level which determines how good it is at producing its current equipment. Loss in production with respect to the fraction of starting production efficiency versus the production efficiency cap. The main output modifiers for military factories and naval dockyards are ‘concentrated’ or ‘dispersed’ industry technology, while civilian factories are mainly affected by construction industry technology and the economy law. Have a base output of 2.5 per day, but always have a production efficiency of 100%.

Naval dockyards: Produces ships, submarines and convoys.This value is then multiplied by factory output modifiers and by production efficiency.įor example, at 50% production efficiency with factory output modifiers of +10.00% factory output due to Export Focus and -21.80% factory output due to stability, the production would be These have a base output of 4.50 per day. Military factories: Produces infantry equipment, transport, artillery, armor, and aircraft.These have a base output of 5 industrial capacity. Civilian factories: Used for construction (including repair), trade, consumer goods, and Intelligence agencies and their upgrades.2.2.1 Calculating production efficiency with retention bonus.And all that just to impress his little brother. And then he totally overdid it, too, so i was bound to notice it sooner or later. But instead he opted to search for cheats on the net, prior to the session and apply them secretly, rather than spending some time with the game to prepare. Damn it! We were allies! There was no need to cheat! I acknowledge he had little experience with the game, and i would have probably agreed to allow him a minor boost - like 10% extra or something, had he asked. Then his face turning redder than the soviet flag gave it away. Your industry is way out of proportions - and you shouldnt be able to have built that many tanks by now´.

I was like: ´there must be a bug somewhere. I didnt even know about cheats back then. hmmm 500 effective?! WHAT?!´ Then i noticed his vast amount of tank-divisions. I thought ´wow - he finally got the hang of it big time - this is going really fast - let´s see how he does economically. In 1940 i was very pleased to see him steamrolling yoguslavia. When i came back home, i was happy finding him already sitting at the comp, having fired up the game (´wow - he is hot for it - good, so am i!´).

In the morning of day 2, i had to attend a class in Uni, so i was gone. He then managed to take france out quickly. On day 1 he didnt exactly overachieve with the frenchies almost steamrolling him until i gave him detailed advice not to try to hold a line against the broken-through french in the hinterland, but to cut them off instead. It was a two day session via LAN, with him sleeping over. A little anecdote for your amusement (i hope its not considered spam):
