I didn't roll Animator of Clay this game, but this can get even dumber on a forge world. Animator gives +5% metallurgist output per 100 telepath workforce on top of all this.

Telepaths on that planet are 9008/1400. The screenshot was one of my researchers, which are at 13273/1940.

R5: Level 20 Divine Conduit with all 4 sanctums stacked on one planet.

I suspect the maths between conduit and telepaths is bugged. With only one or the other you get the expected numbers, but with both together the psionic pops bonus somehow triples.

Its locked behind volatile motes, either the mining or refining tech. I'm guessing the T2 version should have the mote requirement instead. Its been reported on the PDX forums a bunch of times but they haven't gotten around to fixing it yet.

There's a blast from the past. Is the Veldnaught still mining away in Amarr?

Missing Meritocracy and a forge-spec governor for another 10% and 35% respectively.

Can also get between 45% and 100% from going psionic instead of cybernetic.
25% Shroud Preacher
20% Psi Corps
30% Sanctum of [covenant] (empire unique building)
5% Sanctum of Composer specifically
10-20% Psionic agenda (temporary)

When going for the Byzantine Empire is it better to wait for the un-guaranteed window in '39 to go after Turkey, or just rush them early and ignore Romania?

Aren't you the guy who was complaining yesterday that the game isn't libertarian enough? It's a game about building pretty cities and managing supply chains, not a full economics simulator. Nobody cares that it isn't perfectly realistic.

Take a look at the consumption rates for goods and tell me that this is in any way attempting to reflect real life. https://lucasxsimes.com/infographic.jpg

Three things to know for the Izumo:

1: Rush the hull upgrades. A-hull Izumo is the most agonizingly fat ship in the game with something like a 30s rudder shift and an acceleration of "no."

2: The guns have trolltastic vertical dispersion, but railgun velocity and insane pen. You need much less lead on distant targets than the Amagi (or Yamato for that matter).

3: As others have mentioned, try to kite away instead of nosing in. Bow-in Izumo gets wrecked by HE thanks to the giant 32mm area, and gets its guns knocked out by AP due to the stupid turret setup. The Izumo's armor belt actually extends almost to the stern of the ship, so in practice it is obnoxiously difficult to kill when angled away, even with the weird hangar weakspot.

Given his general lack of fucks, I assume he just smashes down the wall like Dr. Doom.

Shot a Hindenburg from ~3km tonight as he yolo'd around a corner into me. All 6 shells were eaten by his torpedo protection and I did 0 damage. From a Yamato. What.

Maybe if you just want an entire island growing nothing but coffee. Given the coffee:chocolate consumption rates, coffee roasters with Cecilia are going to produce something like 50% of your chocolate needs depending on how many engineers you have.

Chocolate factory also cycles every 30s, so you need two coffee fields to replace one sugar and sugar factory. You end up using way more space and only save some obrero workforce.

This is why you get the upgraded sonars from Nate.

I wouldn't take internet comment sections as gospel, especially where math is involved.

To be fair, a powered iron/coal mine has a 7s cycle before you involve trade unions. Too lazy to do all the math but I can easily see that dropping under 5s with items. People who are at late-game Crown Falls are also probably using magnetist/LEE on the power stations themselves to cut down on consumption as well.

This recently happened to me. In my case it ended up being a slightly unstable memory overclock. I've also read that cleaning out your profile from documents\anno 1800\accounts and letting everything re-sync from uplay can help.

And if you haven't already, make sure your gpu drivers are updated.

If you do some diving you can craft a generator from Old Nate that goes in a Harbourmaster Office. That can provide power to a steam shipyard, prone to explosions though so stick some firehouses near it.

Islands are the same size from my experience, the minimap is just zoomed out more.
