Exploring, Construction & Building Formulas
From The Utopian Encyclopedia
Contents
Exploration Costs
Soldier Cost
Sol Costs for Exploration = ROUND((CurrentAcres * 0.0065) * Race Mod * War Effect)
| Modifier Type | Active | Otherwise |
| War | 2 | 1 |
| Dark Elf | 1.2 | 1 |
GC Costs
GC Costs for Exploration = ((Current Acres * 3) - 500) * War Mod * Race Mod * Mills Effect
| Modifier Type | Active | Otherwise |
| War | 2 | 1 |
| Dark Elf | 1.2 | 1 |
Notes
- Generally all cases prove to be accurate to within minus 0gc - 30gc (Calculated costs slightly overestimate).
Construction
Construction Time
Construction Time = 22 * Personality Mod * Builders Boon * Double Speed * Fortified
| Modifier Type | Active | Otherwise | |
| Pers: Shepherd | 0.7 | 1 | |
| Builders Boon | 0.9 | 1 | |
| Double Speed | 0.5 | 1 | n.b. = 0.75 in prot |
| Fortified | 0.8 | 1 |
Construction Costs
Construction Costs = Race Mod * Mills Mod * Double Speed * 8/31 * (Land + 2900)
| Modifier Type | Active | Otherwise |
| Race: Dwarf | 0 | 1 |
| Doublespeed | 2 | 1 |
Raze Costs
Raze Costs = (1400 + Land) / 4
Buildings
Building Efficiency
Building Efficiency = [0.5 * (Peasants + (Prisoners/2))] / [((2*Total Jobs)/3) + 1) * Science + Race + Stance - Dragon]
- NB. "Current Available Workers" given on the Internal Affairs Advisor page already takes the prisoners into account. So the number given there is "Peasants + Prisoners / 2".
- Workers Required for Maximum Effectiveness = 67% of Total Jobs filled
- Building Efficiency affects all Flat-Rate and Percentage-Based buildings.
Rate of Change of Building Efficiency = Formula
- Changes in Building Efficiency takes effect gradually.
| Modifier Type | Active | Otherwise |
| Race: Dwarf | 1.3 | 1 |
| Stance: Peaceful | 1.05 | 1 |
| Dragon: Gold | 0.8 | 1 |
Effects of Buildings
Percentage Based Buildings = Base Effect * BE * % of building * (1 - % of building)
Flat Rate Buildings = Base Effect * Number of Buildings * BE * Monarchy Bonus * Science
