The 5 times increase in productivity: Or Is it?

Day 1,213, 09:07 • Published in India India • by Indian Government Bank

So the talk of the town today is the x times prod increase in the companies making products of quality x. Meaning a Q5 company now has productivity of 5 times that of a q1 company. If I as a level 12 make 600 prod units in a q1 company, I will make 3000 units in a q5. Wow.. Looks like the prices are going to crash.. Or are they..?

One thing to remember is that earlier, we needed 2 raw workers to support each Product worker. This was because a few months back, admins impleamented a change to half the productivity of workers working in Raw companies.

Now with the current change, for every worker working in a q5 company, one would actually need 10 workers to produce enough raw to support this worker's 1 day or production.

Club that with the 50% reduced productivity in Raw companies, the picture is no longer that rosy. This is because every worker that shifts to the raw companies, means 50% reduced productivity

For example, earlier, if I had a workforce of 100 workers and was in a Q5 weps business, I would put 66 workers in Iron raws and 33 workers in Weps. Assuming each of them had a productivity status of 600 (300 for raw), i would produce 19,800 productivity units

Now, I need to put 91 workers in Raw and 9 (the earlier mentioned 10:1 ratio) in Weps to produce 27000 units of productivity.

So if the worker population is constant(which it is), the recent changes up the productivity of a q5 by 36% and not 500% as being claimed in a few places.

And this is the percentage by which one can expect the prices to drop of q5 products

On the other end of the specturm, q2 products will see a drop of 21% price

Now where does this leave Q1s. Q1s will not see a change, and contradictory to existing situation, cost of creating 10 wellness via a q5 food will be cheaper than creating it thru q1

OOps.. Does this mean Q1s are passe.. Actually pretty much so. Opening and running a company at lvl 16 will no longer be as pleasent an experiance as it used to be. Since the q5 owners would undercut the q1 owners like no ones business

Indeed, interesting times ahead..



EDIT

Looks like the Admins read this 😉

Now the RAW prod has been doubled. In the new scheme of things, the ratio between Q5 workers and raw is now 5:1 instead of 10:1. Which inturn means that the over all productivity is now up by 250% instead of 36%. And this is the percentage by which Q5 weps and food prices are expected to fall.
