Focus
Generating Focus
Focus is a resource generated by Office Buildings (I, II, III), and used to apply various bonuses. Generation of Focus requires employing large numbers of workers, and supplying the offices with Office Supplies.
The higher tier Office Buildings are more dense, and slightly more efficient in use of construction supplies, maintenance, and power, but are identical in their focus per worker and per office supplies.
Offices may consume computing for either a 20% or 50% boost to their focus output. This is at a ratio of 4.166 Focus/fFlop at 20% or 2.6 focus/tFlop at 50%.

|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Office I | 250 | 250 | 2 | 250kW | 3.7 | 12 tFlops | 48 tFlops |
| Office II | 500 | 500 | 4 | 400kW | 5.6 | 24 tFlops | 96 tFlops |
| Office III | 1000 | 1000 | 8 | 600kW | 9.3 | 48 tFlops | 192 tFlops |
Focus generation may be increased further by a repeatable research granting 4% increased focus generation per level. This stacks additively with Computing.
Global Focuses
There are 12 available Global Focuses. Each focus has a cost for the first point, and an increasing cost for every level thereafter.
For example, the first level of Truck Capacity will cost 40, the second, 70, the third 100, and so on.
Research Efficiency stacks multiplicatively with all other sources of research bonus (Population, Edict, and Space Station)
Goods and Services Consumption applies to all Settlement Attachments except food.

With a total focus cost of 326,150, you would have to employ 130,500 workers in offices (at 100% bonus focus generation research and 50% computing bonus) to apply every bonus. This would also cost 1,044 Office Supplies per month.
