The current formula makes no logical sense,
 
 
 
            [(Current Available Workers) / 2]
 
-----------------------------------------------------------
 
((2/3) * Total Jobs + 1) * Science + Race + Stance - Dragon
 
 
 
Even if you fix that * Sign and move the modifiers out, it doesn't account for a surplus of workers, and the +1 looks more like a "can't divide by 0" fudge factor. (That also means you can't have 100%)
 
 
 
If, by chance, the 1/2 current available workers means that for every 2% employment drop you have a 1% Building Efficiency drop, then you need to add 50 at the end of the equation
 
 
 
(.5 * %Filled Jobs + 50) + Science + Race + Stance + Dragon (Dragon already has negative stats, subtracting a negative stat makes it positive)
 
 
 
== Algebra is FUN ==
 
 
 
Base Effect * BE * % of building * (1 - % of building)
 
 
 
I'm assuming this translates as
 
 
 
BE * Effect
 
 
 
Now N(1-N) is... wrong. N(1-N) says that after 50% of a building type you start losing the effects that building has... let alone it doesn't seem to follow any
 
 
 
 
 
So... Lets do this Right (With PAINFUL Spreadsheets!)
