Yesterday I worked in the only Q5 factory in Idaho and promised to crack the pollution formula. Suddenly today my pollution there is higher and the pollution in Portugal Azores is lower.
Mmm adminlandia at play? I think if you checked multiple countries there will be a reduction.
Or they are nerfing pollution.
Well anyway guess

Had you not used this stupid Borat all the time, I'd have endorsed and liked triple the quantity of your articles.
You shouldn't have told anyone what you were doing. Some people live to spoil it for others.
It's also possible there are longer term factors at play, maybe with fractional polynomials.
Let me know if I can help.
ok Ilene will probably chart it up tonite in a goodle doc
frankly, they've clearly stated polution = f(work in the region yesterday), capped at 25%. I'm guessing it's an exponential function.
this function fits his data:

25*[ 1- exp(-works/250) ]
Perhaps the "speed" (250) is different, but it is around that value. 25*[1-exp(-11/250)] = 1.076, and he said the pollution was 1.12, so it's close. 250 was just a nice round number 🙂
Hm, this is even better online graphing calculator:

their going to much lengths to avoid it being cracked watch each region the pollution industries is sorted differently. then wrm/house/food / new next one would be house/food /wrm/new. my guess is their figuring out that their formula could easily be cracked.
i will check out your maths with more data the figures changed today at first portugal azores had reduced pollution later it had 25% so it looks like it is time based as well if you work early on in the day the values is better.
Well, my formula fits your data. If you get me output for like 800 works per region, then the formula would fit much better. This is how I would implement the pollution, since it is the best way to do so, if you don't want the linear progression and you generally don't want that unless you are an idiot. In linear progression, 275 works would make 25% pollution, according to your data, and that would be just completely retarded. Exponential formula would make much more sense.
im not as good with maths hostilian but your formula seems correct. difficult to put this in a normal calculator.
the just is that exp() is between 0 and 1?
1-e^-x is between 0 and 1, starts at 0 and ends at 1 in infinity. so 25* (1-e^-x) starts at 0% pollution and ends up at 25% pollution. Then it comes down to slowing down the rate of e^-x by dividing x by some factor. 250 did the trick.
i will share all data later on i have completed the spreadsheet with 540 linked regions and has checked all the a regions most are either 0.00 too little pollution and 0 no production. but i think your correct.
do you have any links to coding that sum in some kind of code.
How do you mean code? The formula I used is:
pollution = 25 * [1 - exp( -works/250 ) ]
You can, basically, copy paste the above formula into almost every programming language and it will work the same. Well, perhaps, you'd have to change the [ into (.
So somebody missed a day and didn't work his q5 factories, the overall average production has dropped and your pollution in Idaho has raised a little bit because there the production is over the average production.
Still you accuse the admins because of your incapability to understand how the pollution formula works.
Keep up the good work newbie.
P.S. If you think I am wrong just ask the admins and you will see that the answer will be the same as mine
Wtf, now admins are making multies to comment on newspapers? This is new.
Nobody would be incapable of understanding how the pollution formula works if it were published anywhere. Long time ago in a galaxy far far away, eRepublik had all the formulas publicly available on it's wiki. These days, many formulas are not published, and neither is the data used in the formulas.
Really? You need actual numbers to understand how it works?
"Pollution Factor is calculated based on the number of goods of the same type that were produced in the region compared to the overall average production for that type of goods." Erepublik Forum
And there is a comment in one article copy/pasted from a support ticket in which they explain that if the production in on region is below the overall average production the pollution will be 0%.
You still need numbers?
well foxti we need to know how it works and under what circumstances we pay what pollution. i doubt that below the average production because we dont even know how they calculate average production. must we assume its all the regions that have more than zero production? and that total production is divided by that number of regions.
Yes, really. We cannot get info on what is the average production, we cannot get info on how many goods were produced in the region, we cannot get info on how many companies there are in the region and we don't know by what formula is the pollution calculated from that data we don't have.
