Exploring, Construction & Building Formulas

This is part of the Utopia WIKI Formula Series.

THIS PAGE attempts to list formulas as relevant to Exploring, Construction & Building Formulas. If you would like to add a new formula feel free to include it within the text. Ensure that you check the discussions page for Exploring, Construction & Building Formulas to ensure that this formula is not under discussion/research, or contribute your research there if you do feel so inclined.

Exploration Costs

Soldier Cost

( CurrentAcres * 2/5 + Explored Mod * 1 / 4 + 75 ) / 67 * Race Mod * War Effect

• Explored Mod = Total Land Explored - Total Land Lost in Combat - Currently Exploring
• note: Explored Mod most be higher than 0 else it is 0

Modifier Type	Active	Otherwise
War	2	1
Dark Elf	1.2	1

GC Costs

( 3.16 * Current Acres - 17.4 * SQRT( Current Acres ) - 50 + Explored Mod ) * War Mod * Race Mod * Mills Effect

• Explored Mod = Total Land Explored - Total Land Lost in Combat - Currently Exploring
• if Explored Mod is higher than 0 then the value is ???? (still in research) else it is 0

Modifier Type	Active	Otherwise
War	2	1
Dark Elf	1.2	1

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
Double Speed in Protection	0.75	1
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

Available Workers         =  Peasants + (Prisoners / 2)
% Filled Jobs             =  MIN(Available Workers / FLOOR(Total Jobs * .67), 1)
Building Efficiency       =  1 + CEIL((% Filled Jobs - 1) / 4) + Race + Science + Stance + Dragon

Workers Needed for Max. Efficiency =  FLOOR(Total Jobs * .67)

• The "Current Available Workers" value, provided by the Internal Affairs Adviser page, already takes prisoners into account.
• Building Efficiency affects all Flat-Rate and Percentage-Based buildings.
• Building Efficiency has NO effect on Capacity Buildings as well as Libraries.

Building Efficiency Change Rate  =  Formula

• Changes in Building Efficiency take effect gradually.

Modifier Type	Active	Otherwise
Race: Dwarf	1.3	1
Stance: Peaceful	1.05	1
Dragon: Gold	0.8	1

Building Effects

Percentage Based Buildings = Base Effect * BE * % of building * (1 - % of building)


Flat Rate Buildings = Base Effect * Number of Buildings * BE * Monarchy Bonus * Science

• Max Effect of a %-Based Building is 25 x Base Effect.
• With a 100% Building Efficiency, this is equivalent to building 50% of that building.
