Production

[edit] Production

Each province produces a good. There are several factors that affect the taxes you receive for each good. They are:

• Unit price of the good
• Amount of good produced
• Production Efficiency

The calculation of the unit price of each good is shown below. Most goods from colonies are more valuable than goods produced in Europe (for example: Sugar cane is worth more than Wine). The price of each good is displayed in the production box for each city.

The amount of the good which is produced (the 'Units' value) depends on the population of the province. For colonies the amount produced is:

Population / 1,000

For cities the amount produced is:

0.995 + Population / 200,000 (this is displayed rounded to the nearest tenth but the exact value is used in the production calculation)

Production efficiency is based on your production technology level (and other stuff)

Example calculation: province with 73,300 people produces salt which has a unit price of 10.8 and the country has a production efficiency of .4

0.995 + 73,300 / 200,000 = 1.3615 good produced

10.8 * 1.3615 = 14.7042 ducats (total value of goods produced, this is the number used in the CoTs)

14.7042 * .4 = 5.88 ducats (money you get in production income each year)

[edit] Unit price

The unit price of goods is defined by 3 parameters: a base price, supply, and demand

The base price of each good is located in the tradegoods.txt file

The supply and demand are both percentages. Increases in demand are caused by construction of specific buildings and wars. Which buildings and the amounts of increase are located in the tradegoods.txt file. Increases in supply are based on production in all provinces.

The unit price is calculated by multipling the percentages together with the pre-defined value as follows:

Unit Price = Base Price * (1 + (100 - Supply) / 100) * (Demand / 100)

Example calculation: good with a base price of 15.0, a Supply of 12% and a demand of 83%

15.0 * (1 + .88) * .83 = 23.4
