Holding Companies and Production Data, Day 3146!

Day 3,146, 15:44 Published in USA USA by Drummertheman


So I haven't seen any articles discussing the pollution data we've already seen now, on day 3146. I did some legwork and compiled a spreadsheet of all currently held US regions, their region bonuses and pollution data.



*PLEASE NOTE* This data is subject to change each day as work tickets generated fluctuate, and citizens create or move companies between holding companies in different regions. This data represents the first draft of available data, as of day 3146.



You can view the raw spreadsheet here: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1r9zuplRzak76ndNht0afkATBB8MEP_t6mHaYzIn_lEY/edit?usp=sharing



Based on this information, here are the break-even regions (0% bonus, 0% pollution in all industries.) These are the ideal spots for citizens looking for low-risk standard productivity (output should come out the same as pre-resource wars, based on the 100% national bonus in all industries but aircraft.)

- Delaware
- Illinois
- Kansas
- Louisiana
- Louth** [occupied region]
- Maine
- Maryland
- Massachusetts
- Minnesota
- Mississippi
- Montana
- New Hampshire
- North Carolina
- Pennsylvania
- Rhode Island
- South Carolina
- Tennessee
- West Virginia
- Wyoming



Here are the positive-production regions, listed by industry/quality:

And here are the regions to AVOID, as they will provide you with a negative production modifier (you will lose some of the 200% production standard currently afforded by national bonuses in all industries but aircraft.)

Some closing thoughts:
- While building in positive-production regions is tempting, make sure you evaluate all industries in which you own a company (unless you can afford multiple holding companies and the travel back and forth each day for MW.)
- Also keep in mind that high-production regions are more likely to attract more companies, and could easily turn into negative-production due to pollution.
- When choosing a region for lower-quality companies, be thinking forward; are you going to be upgrading your company in the future? If so, how is that region's production for those higher-quality industries? You won't be able to relocate that company once you upgrade it without a cost.
- Be careful about locating in occupied regions and border regions with frequent conflict.. This could cause problems traveling between regions for MW, and potentially affect your work tax negatively.
