SpeedDaemon: Reduce Consumer Electronics consumption for 0.7.8a update

A '''settlement''' is either a single standalone [[Housing]] building or, more commonly, multiple Housing buildings built immediately adjacent to each other. This is where the {{infoicon|Population|ui=yes}} lives and where the residents do almost everything: sleep, eat, maintain their hygiene, and enjoy {{infoicon|Household Goods}} and so on. The only except is work in buildings or [[:Category:Vehicles|vehicles]].

==Services==
[[File:Population Overview.png|right|360px]]
Each settlement requests services to be provided to increase the comfort of the Population. Only {{infoicon|Food Production|new=yes|link=no|text=Food}} supply and {{infoicon|Waste|new=yes}} collection are essential services. If these services are lacking, critical population decline will occur.

Other services are not essential, and there is no penalty for lacking services. But fulfilling these requests provides a set amount of {{infoicon|Unity|ui=yes}} and/or promotes {{infoicon|Health}} per request. They are helpful in a steady source of Unity, used for Research Lab (and its variants) and [[outposts]] such as the [[Sawmill]] or [[Oil Rig]]. They are also helpful to combat the bad influence of {{infoicon|Air Pollution}} and {{infoicon|Water Pollution}}.

The Population Overview UI pane as seen to the right is accessed by clicking the {{infoicon|Population|ui=yes|link=no}} icon at the top-left corner of the game screen and displays the total amount of Unity received from meeting demands.

{{clear}}

==List of services==
All services are shown in the following table.

The demand for each service is directly proportional to the population. And the demand for some services and the Unity bonus also depends on the tier of [[Housing]]. The effect of the tier of Housing is shown in the table after the one for services.

== Demand for food ==
The demand for food depends on the type of food, and it is a bit complex to calculate the amount. As a simple example, when only a single food is provided to settlements, the demand for food will be the following value.

{| class="wikitable"
|+ Demand for Food (Version 0.7.6)
|- style="text-align: center"
! Food Category !! Food !! Base Demand (A) per 100 pops per month
|-
| rowspan = 3 | Carbs
| {{infoicon|Potato|new=yes}} || 4.20
|-
| {{infoicon|Corn|new=yes}} || 3.00
|-
| {{infoicon|Bread|new=yes}} || 2.00
|-
| rowspan = 4 | Protein
| {{infoicon|Meat|new=yes}} || 2.70
|-
| {{infoicon|Eggs|new=yes}} || 3.00
|-
| {{infoicon|Tofu|new=yes}} || 1.80
|-
| {{infoicon|Sausage|new=yes}} || 3.35
|-
| rowspan = 2 | Vitamins
| {{infoicon|Vegetables|new=yes}} || 4.20
|-
| {{infoicon|Fruit|new=yes}} || 3.15
|-
| rowspan = 2 | Treats
| {{infoicon|Snack|new=yes}} || 2.60
|-
| {{infoicon|Cake|new=yes}} || 2.50
|}

When several types of food are provided to settlements, the demand for each food will decrease, as the total food demand (in terms of population sustenance) is distributed across the available categories and food types. The monthly demand for a specific food type per 100 pops is calculated using the following formula:

:Demand per 100 pops per month = A / (Nc × N)

Where:
* '''A''': The base demand for the food type when it is the only food provided (from the table above).
* '''Nc''': The number of food categories with at least one food type provided.
* '''N''': The number of food types provided within the same category as the food type being calculated.

This formula assumes a standard '''consumption multiplier''' of 1.0, which is typical in default game settings. If the consumption multiplier is adjusted (e.g., via difficulty settings or edicts), the demand scales proportionally—for example, a consumption multiplier of 1.5 would increase the demand by 50%.

=== Example Calculation ===
Consider a settlement with a population of 10,000 pops where all food types are provided:
* '''Total categories (Nc)''': 4 (Carbs, Protein, Vitamins, Treats).
* '''Carbs category''': 3 food types (Potato, Corn, Bread).
* '''Potato demand''':
** Base demand (A) = 4.7.
** Demand per 100 pops = 4.7 / (4 × 3) = 4.7 / 12 ≈ 0.3917 units per month.
** For 10,000 pops (100 × 100 pops): 0.3917 × 100 ≈ 39.17 units per month.
* This matches in-game observations (e.g., approximately 39.2 units with rounding).

Similarly:
* '''Meat (Protein category)''': 4 types (Meat, Eggs, Tofu, Sausage), A = 3.0.
** Demand per 100 pops = 3.0 / (4 × 4) = 3.0 / 16 = 0.1875 units.
** For 10,000 pops: 0.1875 × 100 = 18.75 units (≈ 18.8 in-game).

=== Key Notes ===
* '''Total Demand Distribution''': The game calculates food demand in "pop days" (e.g., population × 30 days per month), which is then evenly split among the provided food categories. Within each category, the demand is further divided equally among the provided food types. The actual quantity consumed depends on each food type’s base demand value (A).
* '''Variety Benefits''': Providing multiple food types reduces the demand for each individual food type, potentially optimizing resource use or unlocking health bonuses, but the total sustenance requirement remains tied to the population size.
* '''Misconception Clarified''': Earlier descriptions suggested that the total quantity of food consumed remains "similar" to the single-food case. This is inaccurate in terms of raw quantity, as different food types have varying consumption rates (e.g., 470 units of Potatoes alone vs. ~503 units with all types). Instead, the total ''sustenance demand'' (pop days) is fixed and distributed, not the total quantity.

=== Unity and Health bonus by food ===
Fulfilling food demand, that is, pops do not starve, provides 1.00 of {{infoicon|Unity}}, which is boosted by Housing Tier. In addition, more {{infoicon|Unity}} will be provided when settlements receive variable food, which is NOT boosted by Housing Tier.

{| class="wikitable"
|+ Unity and Health Bonus (Version 0.5.3)
|- style="text-align: center"

| {{infoicon|Snack|new=yes}} || style="text-align: right" | 0.25
|-
| {{infoicon|Cake|new=yes}} || style="text-align: right" | 0.55
|}

For example, Potato, Corn, Bread, and Vegetables are provided:
:{{infoicon|Unity}} = 1.00 + 0.15 + 0.15 + 0.30 + 0.20 = 1.80
In addition, pops live in [[Housing III]]:
::{{infoicon|Unity}} = 1.00 × 200% + 0.15 + 0.15 + 0.30 + 0.20 = 2.80

The {{infoicon|Health}} bonus depend on the number of food categories provided to the settlement:
:{{infoicon|Health}} = 4 × (Number of food categories − 1)
For example, Potato, Corn, Bread, and Vegetables are provided:
:Number of food category = 2 (Carbs and Vitamins)
:{{infoicon|Health}} = 4 × (2 − 1) = 4

=== Amount of discharged waste ===
The pops in the settlement discharge {{infoicon|Waste|new=yes}} depend on received services. They also discharge {{infoicon|Biomass|new=yes}} or {{infoicon|Recyclables|new=yes}} when [[Biomass Collection]] or [[Recyclables Collection]] is connected to the settlement. The discharged {{infoicon|Waste|new=yes}}, {{infoicon|Biomass|new=yes}}, and {{infoicon|Recyclables|new=yes}} are shown in the following table if '''all''' of the three collection buildings are connected to the settlement. Note that the amount of the discharged {{infoicon|Waste|new=yes}} will also change if the amount of consumed service items changes by [[Edicts]] or disease.

Settlement

2025-07-08T15:41:41Z

SpeedDaemon: Fix food and services consumption values (original test had an erroneous -1.9-2% reduction)

A '''settlement''' is either a single standalone [[Housing]] building or, more commonly, multiple Housing buildings built immediately adjacent to each other. This is where the {{infoicon|Population|ui=yes}} lives and where the residents do almost everything: sleep, eat, maintain their hygiene, and enjoy {{infoicon|Household Goods}} and so on. The only except is work in buildings or [[:Category:Vehicles|vehicles]].

==Services==
[[File:Population Overview.png|right|360px]]
Each settlement requests services to be provided to increase the comfort of the Population. Only {{infoicon|Food Production|new=yes|link=no|text=Food}} supply and {{infoicon|Waste|new=yes}} collection are essential services. If these services are lacking, critical population decline will occur.

Other services are not essential, and there is no penalty for lacking services. But fulfilling these requests provides a set amount of {{infoicon|Unity|ui=yes}} and/or promotes {{infoicon|Health}} per request. They are helpful in a steady source of Unity, used for Research Lab (and its variants) and [[outposts]] such as the [[Sawmill]] or [[Oil Rig]]. They are also helpful to combat the bad influence of {{infoicon|Air Pollution}} and {{infoicon|Water Pollution}}.

The Population Overview UI pane as seen to the right is accessed by clicking the {{infoicon|Population|ui=yes|link=no}} icon at the top-left corner of the game screen and displays the total amount of Unity received from meeting demands.

{{clear}}

==List of services==
All services are shown in the following table.

The demand for each service is directly proportional to the population. And the demand for some services and the Unity bonus also depends on the tier of [[Housing]]. The effect of the tier of Housing is shown in the table after the one for services.

== Demand for food ==
The demand for food depends on the type of food, and it is a bit complex to calculate the amount. As a simple example, when only a single food is provided to settlements, the demand for food will be the following value.

{| class="wikitable"
|+ Demand for Food (Version 0.7.6)
|- style="text-align: center"
! Food Category !! Food !! Base Demand (A) per 100 pops per month
|-
| rowspan = 3 | Carbs
| {{infoicon|Potato|new=yes}} || 4.20
|-
| {{infoicon|Corn|new=yes}} || 3.00
|-
| {{infoicon|Bread|new=yes}} || 2.00
|-
| rowspan = 4 | Protein
| {{infoicon|Meat|new=yes}} || 2.70
|-
| {{infoicon|Eggs|new=yes}} || 3.00
|-

|-
| rowspan = 2 | Vitamins
| {{infoicon|Vegetables|new=yes}} || 4.20
|-

|-
| rowspan = 2 | Treats
| {{infoicon|Snack|new=yes}} || 2.60
|-
| {{infoicon|Cake|new=yes}} || 2.50
|}

When several types of food are provided to settlements, the demand for each food will decrease, as the total food demand (in terms of population sustenance) is distributed across the available categories and food types. The monthly demand for a specific food type per 100 pops is calculated using the following formula:

:Demand per 100 pops per month = A / (Nc × N)

Where:
* '''A''': The base demand for the food type when it is the only food provided (from the table above).
* '''Nc''': The number of food categories with at least one food type provided.
* '''N''': The number of food types provided within the same category as the food type being calculated.

This formula assumes a standard '''consumption multiplier''' of 1.0, which is typical in default game settings. If the consumption multiplier is adjusted (e.g., via difficulty settings or edicts), the demand scales proportionally—for example, a consumption multiplier of 1.5 would increase the demand by 50%.

=== Example Calculation ===
Consider a settlement with a population of 10,000 pops where all food types are provided:
* '''Total categories (Nc)''': 4 (Carbs, Protein, Vitamins, Treats).
* '''Carbs category''': 3 food types (Potato, Corn, Bread).
* '''Potato demand''':
** Base demand (A) = 4.7.
** Demand per 100 pops = 4.7 / (4 × 3) = 4.7 / 12 ≈ 0.3917 units per month.
** For 10,000 pops (100 × 100 pops): 0.3917 × 100 ≈ 39.17 units per month.
* This matches in-game observations (e.g., approximately 39.2 units with rounding).

Similarly:
* '''Meat (Protein category)''': 4 types (Meat, Eggs, Tofu, Sausage), A = 3.0.
** Demand per 100 pops = 3.0 / (4 × 4) = 3.0 / 16 = 0.1875 units.
** For 10,000 pops: 0.1875 × 100 = 18.75 units (≈ 18.8 in-game).

=== Key Notes ===
* '''Total Demand Distribution''': The game calculates food demand in "pop days" (e.g., population × 30 days per month), which is then evenly split among the provided food categories. Within each category, the demand is further divided equally among the provided food types. The actual quantity consumed depends on each food type’s base demand value (A).
* '''Variety Benefits''': Providing multiple food types reduces the demand for each individual food type, potentially optimizing resource use or unlocking health bonuses, but the total sustenance requirement remains tied to the population size.
* '''Misconception Clarified''': Earlier descriptions suggested that the total quantity of food consumed remains "similar" to the single-food case. This is inaccurate in terms of raw quantity, as different food types have varying consumption rates (e.g., 470 units of Potatoes alone vs. ~503 units with all types). Instead, the total ''sustenance demand'' (pop days) is fixed and distributed, not the total quantity.

=== Unity and Health bonus by food ===
Fulfilling food demand, that is, pops do not starve, provides 1.00 of {{infoicon|Unity}}, which is boosted by Housing Tier. In addition, more {{infoicon|Unity}} will be provided when settlements receive variable food, which is NOT boosted by Housing Tier.

{| class="wikitable"

|-

|}

For example, Potato, Corn, Bread, and Vegetables are provided:
:{{infoicon|Unity}} = 1.00 + 0.15 + 0.15 + 0.30 + 0.20 = 1.80
In addition, pops live in [[Housing III]]:
::{{infoicon|Unity}} = 1.00 × 200% + 0.15 + 0.15 + 0.30 + 0.20 = 2.80

The {{infoicon|Health}} bonus depend on the number of food categories provided to the settlement:
:{{infoicon|Health}} = 4 × (Number of food categories − 1)
For example, Potato, Corn, Bread, and Vegetables are provided:
:Number of food category = 2 (Carbs and Vitamins)
:{{infoicon|Health}} = 4 × (2 − 1) = 4

=== Amount of discharged waste ===
The pops in the settlement discharge {{infoicon|Waste|new=yes}} depend on received services. They also discharge {{infoicon|Biomass|new=yes}} or {{infoicon|Recyclables|new=yes}} when [[Biomass Collection]] or [[Recyclables Collection]] is connected to the settlement. The discharged {{infoicon|Waste|new=yes}}, {{infoicon|Biomass|new=yes}}, and {{infoicon|Recyclables|new=yes}} are shown in the following table if '''all''' of the three collection buildings are connected to the settlement. Note that the amount of the discharged {{infoicon|Waste|new=yes}} will also change if the amount of consumed service items changes by [[Edicts]] or disease.

== Demand for food ==
The demand for food depends on the type of food, and it is a bit complex to calculate the amount. As a simple example, when only a single food is provided to settlements, the demand for food will be the following value.

{| class="wikitable"
|+ Demand for Food (Version 0.7.6)
|- style="text-align: center"

|}

When several types of food are provided to settlements, the demand for each food will decrease, as the total food demand (in terms of population sustenance) is distributed across the available categories and food types. The monthly demand for a specific food type per 100 pops is calculated using the following formula:

:Demand per 100 pops per month = A / (Nc × N)

Where:
* '''A''': The base demand for the food type when it is the only food provided (from the table above).
* '''Nc''': The number of food categories with at least one food type provided.
* '''N''': The number of food types provided within the same category as the food type being calculated.

This formula assumes a standard '''consumption multiplier''' of 1.0, which is typical in default game settings. If the consumption multiplier is adjusted (e.g., via difficulty settings or edicts), the demand scales proportionally—for example, a consumption multiplier of 1.5 would increase the demand by 50%.

=== Example Calculation ===
Consider a settlement with a population of 10,000 pops where all food types are provided:
* '''Total categories (Nc)''': 4 (Carbs, Protein, Vitamins, Treats).
* '''Carbs category''': 3 food types (Potato, Corn, Bread).
* '''Potato demand''':
** Base demand (A) = 4.7.
** Demand per 100 pops = 4.7 / (4 × 3) = 4.7 / 12 ≈ 0.3917 units per month.
** For 10,000 pops (100 × 100 pops): 0.3917 × 100 ≈ 39.17 units per month.
* This matches in-game observations (e.g., approximately 39.2 units with rounding).

Similarly:
* '''Meat (Protein category)''': 4 types (Meat, Eggs, Tofu, Sausage), A = 3.0.
** Demand per 100 pops = 3.0 / (4 × 4) = 3.0 / 16 = 0.1875 units.
** For 10,000 pops: 0.1875 × 100 = 18.75 units (≈ 18.8 in-game).

=== Key Notes ===
* '''Total Demand Distribution''': The game calculates food demand in "pop days" (e.g., population × 30 days per month), which is then evenly split among the provided food categories. Within each category, the demand is further divided equally among the provided food types. The actual quantity consumed depends on each food type’s base demand value (A).
* '''Variety Benefits''': Providing multiple food types reduces the demand for each individual food type, potentially optimizing resource use or unlocking health bonuses, but the total sustenance requirement remains tied to the population size.
* '''Misconception Clarified''': Earlier descriptions suggested that the total quantity of food consumed remains "similar" to the single-food case. This is inaccurate in terms of raw quantity, as different food types have varying consumption rates (e.g., 470 units of Potatoes alone vs. ~503 units with all types). Instead, the total ''sustenance demand'' (pop days) is fixed and distributed, not the total quantity.

=== Unity and Health bonus by food ===
Fulfilling food demand, that is, pops do not starve, provides 1.00 of {{infoicon|Unity}}, which is boosted by Housing Tier. In addition, more {{infoicon|Unity}} will be provided when settlements receive variable food, which is NOT boosted by Housing Tier.

For example, Potato, Corn, Bread, and Vegetables are provided:
:{{infoicon|Unity}} = 1.00 + 0.15 + 0.15 + 0.30 + 0.20 = 1.80
In addition, pops live in [[Housing III]]:
::{{infoicon|Unity}} = 1.00 × 200% + 0.15 + 0.15 + 0.30 + 0.20 = 2.80

The {{infoicon|Health}} bonus depend on the number of food categories provided to the settlement:
:{{infoicon|Health}} = 4 × (Number of food categories − 1)
For example, Potato, Corn, Bread, and Vegetables are provided:
:Number of food category = 2 (Carbs and Vitamins)
:{{infoicon|Health}} = 4 × (2 − 1) = 4

=== Amount of discharged waste ===
The pops in the settlement discharge {{infoicon|Waste|new=yes}} depend on received services. They also discharge {{infoicon|Biomass|new=yes}} or {{infoicon|Recyclables|new=yes}} when [[Biomass Collection]] or [[Recyclables Collection]] is connected to the settlement. The discharged {{infoicon|Waste|new=yes}}, {{infoicon|Biomass|new=yes}}, and {{infoicon|Recyclables|new=yes}} are shown in the following table if '''all''' of the three collection buildings are connected to the settlement. Note that the amount of the discharged {{infoicon|Waste|new=yes}} will also change if the amount of consumed service items changes by [[Edicts]] or disease.

Settlement

2025-07-07T16:44:53Z

SpeedDaemon: /* Demand for food */ Updated food base consumption for Update 3 (ver 0.7.6)

A '''settlement''' is either a single standalone [[Housing]] building or, more commonly, multiple Housing buildings built immediately adjacent to each other. This is where the {{infoicon|Population|ui=yes}} lives and where the residents do almost everything: sleep, eat, maintain their hygiene, and enjoy {{infoicon|Household Goods}} and so on. The only except is work in buildings or [[:Category:Vehicles|vehicles]].

==Services==
[[File:Population Overview.png|right|360px]]
Each settlement requests services to be provided to increase the comfort of the Population. Only {{infoicon|Food Production|new=yes|link=no|text=Food}} supply and {{infoicon|Waste|new=yes}} collection are essential services. If these services are lacking, critical population decline will occur.

Other services are not essential, and there is no penalty for lacking services. But fulfilling these requests provides a set amount of {{infoicon|Unity|ui=yes}} and/or promotes {{infoicon|Health}} per request. They are helpful in a steady source of Unity, used for Research Lab (and its variants) and [[outposts]] such as the [[Sawmill]] or [[Oil Rig]]. They are also helpful to combat the bad influence of {{infoicon|Air Pollution}} and {{infoicon|Water Pollution}}.

The Population Overview UI pane as seen to the right is accessed by clicking the {{infoicon|Population|ui=yes|link=no}} icon at the top-left corner of the game screen and displays the total amount of Unity received from meeting demands.

{{clear}}

==List of services==
All services are shown in the following table.

The demand for each service is directly proportional to the population. And the demand for some services and the Unity bonus also depends on the tier of [[Housing]]. The effect of the tier of Housing is shown in the table after the one for services.

'''Recyclables''' are a [[:Category:Loose products|loose]] product created by the [[Recyclables Collection]], [[Research Lab II]]•[[Research Lab III|III]]•[[Research Lab IV|IV]]•[[Research Lab V|V]], and all variants of [[Maintenance Depot]]s.

The product is generated from machines consuming [[Iron]], [[Steel]], [[Copper]], [[Glass]], and [[Gold]], offering a way to reduce usage of [[:Category:Natural_resources|Natural Resources]] by reprocessing recycled materials in the [[Waste Sorting Plant]]. Efficiency can reach up to 90%, depending on the '''Recycling Efficiency''' modifier.

== Recycling Efficiency ==
'''Recycling Efficiency''' determines the percentage of used materials that can be recovered and reused through recycling. It starts at 25% and can be increased to 90% via [[Edicts]] and [[Research]].

At 25% efficiency, for every 100 [[Iron]] consumed, 25 [[Iron]] is recovered from Recyclables processed in the [[Waste Sorting Plant]]. Higher efficiencies amplify this reuse dramatically:

- '''Efficiency Levels and Total Usage''' (from 100 units of material):
- '''25%''': 132 uses (132% of original)
- '''50%''': 196 uses (196%)
- '''60%''': 247 uses (247%)
- '''70%''': 328 uses (328%)
- '''75%''': 395 uses (395%) - Max for ver 0.7.5 with all edicts and max recycling focus
- '''80%''': 494 uses (494%)
- '''90%''': 989 uses (989%)

Each “use” represents the material being cycled through production and recycling, where 90% efficiency means 100 units act like 989 units over time due to repeated recovery. For example, jumping from 80% (494 uses) to 90% (989 uses)—a 10% increase—doubles the effective usage, much like how 80% to 90% damage reduction in ARPGs doubles survivability.

=== Storage and Overproduction ===
Recycling at high efficiency (e.g., 90%) floods the system with recovered materials—like [[Gold]]—faster than they’re consumed. With limited storage ([[Recyclables Collection]], internal buffers, belts), over-smelting raw ore during startup can clog the system, as recycled products loop back before space clears. Adding buffers or reducing initial smelting helps balance this overcapacity.
