what are the factors affect production quality

Post by bycomet »

I recently find the production quality(it is at the maximum value at first) in my production unit in factory drops over time. I guess it is because I set training cost to zero in the factory, then I organised an one-off training in HR department and it costs me around $60m, accordingly the skill level of production unit increased by 1, but the production quality remain unchanged.
Is it because the aging of the factory, should I build another one to replace the old one?

Training cost in factory have absolutely nothing to do with quality of production, training costs are only to raise production quantity. and if set to zero the factory not ganna raise production quantity anymore but also theres no downgrading of speed when training at zero

there are 2 factors which do effect production quality

1 quality of rawmaterials
2 production technology owned by your corporation

for both of them please see the ingame manufacturer guide as the product quality is calculated on those both factors and the percentage does vary from product to product

lets play the figures
lets assume we gonna produce leather wallet. product quality is determined on 50% rawmat quality and 50% product tech and you got quality 30 leather

at the beginning of the game "top product Technology" is 100 therefore with a product tech of 30 (30% of max) your product quality gonna be 30.
now while playing some AI's might research to product technologies 1000 or even more higher. then your product tech of 30 is only 30/1000 = 3% of max and so on, which in fact will lower your productquality further more unless you keep up with research of AI's so if top tech is 1000 on above example and you still got tech 30 and leather quality 30, you gonna have a record striking quality of 16.5 for your leather wallet.

forgot to add: theres also a gamestting called "Technology Disruption" if this is activated, all technologies ingame gonna go down every year by 10% (not availbile if product customization is activated). so if no AI is inventing and your quality still goes down that might be the explaination
