Scott I have (again) tree questions

- How to calculate economy of scale production bonus?
- How to calculate wages?
- How to calculate building maintenance cost?

Estimation!

- At an idle factory, pick a production you can do a very large lot of. Set it to 10, note the per-component requirements. Set it to 1000, note that. Set it to 10000, note; set it to 100000, note. Do a little napkin math and you've got your benchmark values. If you need an actual equation, you can do a fit from there.

- What were wages on last night's revenue sheet? How big was your business in square meters? Maybe break that down by factory/store/R&D. Make a note of both. Do the same tomorrow morning, compare wages and building maint. costs across the two, make an estimate. It may not be perfect but it'll be enough guidance to keep your cost management reasonable.

My main question on this stuff is whose wages we're talking about. Workers in all buildings? Do different buildings or types provide different wages (e.g. retail workers are cheap, factory linepersons middling-cheap, R&D geeks expensive)? Do we pay workers for 24 hours no matter what, or only for time spent on production (so stores would be 24/7 if they have inventory but an idle factory wouldn't be paying anyone)?

Economy of Scale factory production modifier:

(1 + Q^-0.25) / 2

It's what you're afraid of - you pay workers around the clock even when they're just waiting for your orders.

Building maintenance is 2% of building cost - so I imagine R&D's would be the most expensive.
Salaries scale with the square of building size - so all buildings have it equal for now.

Well, let me explain, from yesterday I'm try (1+Q^-0.25)/2, but it doesn't fit exactly, after long experimentation, I think real equation is like (a+(b+((Q-c)/f(k))^-0.25))/2 where a, b & c seems to be 1, the problem is to find the form of f(k), also factory square meters is like to be a parameter of f(k), for grape sorbet i find that f(k)~882/(1+Q^-0.25), but for water i found that f(k)~3280/(1+Q^-0.25) with low error but at 50M this doesn't fit.

Some one have deduced the real equation?

unit cost = 0.5 + 0.5 * (1 + Production_Quantity * Item_Base_Value^0.5 / 10000)^-0.25;

Unit cost is a fraction between 0.5 to 1.0.
Base value is the Pedia value in cents.

how does economy of scale interact with cancelling a batch before completion?
