Will Plato screw us over

Day 3,141, 16:15 • Published in Serbia Ireland • by Releasethe Krakken
Total Productivity = 100%(base_productivity) + 100%(country_bonus) + 18%(region_bonus) + 0%(individual_booster) - 25%(pollution) = 193% (93% productivity bonus)

So I am not certain Plato said our country bonus will be based om resources with a direct route to the capital and those that are not.

So Serbia should have 100% after all our rentals goes through.

Then he didnt say whether the location of you company will affect your country bonus?

So lets say 1000 person jumps on the USA bus only to discover they have no country bonus.

So will it? not 100% certain

Also pollution will be up to 25%. And you will only discover the affect after everybody has placed their factories and worked for a few days.

So yet again this seems like it will wipe out for big countries the region bonus.

Which leaves us with the confusing term base production that is somehow now 100%

We all know currently you get for

Rubber with full bonuses an extra 250 and 250 for the base production.

So that part works the same as ever.

So at this stage I would advise to either have an experimental bit of coin and risk losing or waiting for player updates.

For example lets take Ireland which has a 70% region bonus in weapons

We dont have the other 30%

So we have 100% + 70% + 14% + individual booster(the tycoon pack) minus pollution

Im going to guess a pollution of 5%

So your production for rubber plantation would be:

250 + 175 + 35 + (50/0) minus 12.5

So either 497.50 or 447.50

which would be for most a substantial improvement.

So I would say settle your first WRM Holding in Ireland in that region .

If country bonuses is based on citizen then you could always place your second holding somewhere else

As to the USA I would only place my House factories there but that might bite you in the ass later on if they raise their work taxes.

But Housing factories is few so one could always duplicate them somewhere else.
