I know this must have been asked a 100 times before, but my mind is now a blank slate.
This will come useful soon enough.
1] What happens when you enroll at a facility (other than you getting paid)
2] How does productivity and no. of labourers involved affect how much is produced
3] ... What exactly do "Hours required " mean as it's unit is Units/hour
3] Do humans or Empire refill facilities raw materials?
4] How does this facility have 104.34 / 48 steel? https://www.lordswm.com/object-info.php?id=118
5] How is profit of a facility calculated? Is there any tool to do this?
6] Do MCs that control facilities get a share of it's profits, or is their money extra given by Empire? i.e. Should shareholders care if MC owns entire subdistrcit and gets bigger share or just 1 facility
7] "Workshift ends at: xx:50" I have seen this time change often for the same facility. Is there a pattern to how it changes, and any website that tracks all workshift times?
I'll add more questions as when I get confused again. |
Should pin this thread once they all get answered :P
3] Do humans or Empire refill facilities raw materials?
Players definitely can. I believe Empire refills from time to time.
6] Do MCs that control facilities get a share of it's profits, or is their money extra given by Empire? i.e. Should shareholders care if MC owns entire subdistrcit and gets bigger share or just 1 facility
From Empire. Don't have a source for this though. |
1) You are helping on creating the artifact.
2) A full mine produces max what it can, an empty mine products none, in between depends from number of laborers.
3) The number of resources needed for each item per hour.
Also the higher the LG you have the more resources you consume to enroll at a mine, apart from the more money you get from the mine.
4) Humans do, but if there's a dead end like sometime that steel had disappeared totally from the mines Empire can and will refill.
7) When a facility doesn't get any worker, that happens to most at night, timer get's to zero and shift start to count again at the time the 1st person enroll at that facility.
Time shifts are not fixed from empire.
It was funny one time that game had gone down more than an hour and then all facility's had the same time shift for most of the day if not all. :D |
3 and 4 are mixed,
How does this facility have 104.34 / 48 steel? https://www.lordswm.com/object-info.php?id=118
Also the higher the LG you have the more resources you consume to enroll at a mine, apart from the more money you get from the mine.
You don't consume a round number of resources, and it depends on your LG too. |

Hypothetical Formula (someone should confirm):
#x units produced when #y manhours are put into production.
-- x given as "output" and y given as "hours required" in the facility page
For every #y manhours,
cost_resource = sum over resources: units required * price of resource
cost_labour = #y * wage
revenue = #x * price
profit = revenue - cost_resource - cost_labour
-----
Importantly, this is the profit every #y manhours. Meanwhile, actual production is limited by no. of real workers involved.
No. of max workers of facility is very different from #y, and smaller this is, slower the profit. Makes sense to measure profit in every shift instead of #y manhours
--> profit_per_shift = profit * average_num_workers * average_productivity / #y
For facilities with 0 balance or full stock, labour stops very often, and profit is better measured per unit art sold, rather than per shift.
--> profit_per_art_sold = profit/#x
----- |
Now I know there's a problem with this.
https://www.lordswm.com/object-info.php?id=223
Cost of resources = 59300
Cost of labour = 100 * 215 = 21500
Cost = 80800
Revenue = 10.1*8215 = 82971
--> 2171 profit every 100 manhours.
Looking at facility functioning log:
It averages well over 30 manhours every hour.
It should have 650 gold every hour, and since over 72 hours have passed since announcement, it should have over 46000 profit.
Yet it has only 20000 in profit.
There are two explanations.
Either my formula is wrong.
Or Not all profit comes to the shareholders. The MCs and the Empire eat up well over half. |

for some hours facility didn't have full labir force.
you didn't factor in labor productivity.
facility only gets the profit when art is sold. |
you didn't factor in labor productivity.
I did. The log shows you the man power involved at the right of the page, after factoring in prodictivity of every labourer.
facility only gets the profit when art is sold.
Right, this may be it. So there's a delay between when art produced and sold, which is hard to account for exactly. Thanks. |
