Production System
Production Points (PP)
When you work at a company, you generate Production Points based on your skill level:
Base PP = Hours Worked x (1 + Skill Level)
Extraction/Semi-Product Companies: PP x Quality Bonus (Q1=1x, Q2=1.25x, Q3=1.5x, Q4=1.75x, Q5=2x)
With Electricity: PP x 1.3 (+30% boost)
With Production NFT: Final PP x (1 + NFT Bonus% / 100)
Extraction/Semi-Product Companies: PP x Quality Bonus (Q1=1x, Q2=1.25x, Q3=1.5x, Q4=1.75x, Q5=2x)
With Electricity: PP x 1.3 (+30% boost)
With Production NFT: Final PP x (1 + NFT Bonus% / 100)
Working Costs
Working at a company costs energy based on the company's quality level:
| Company Quality | Energy Cost per Hour | 12 Hours Work |
|---|---|---|
| Q1 | 1 Energy | 12 Energy |
| Q2 | 2 Energy | 24 Energy |
| Q3 | 3 Energy | 36 Energy |
| Q4 | 4 Energy | 48 Energy |
| Q5 | 5 Energy | 60 Energy |
Note
Working does not cost wellness - only energy. Higher quality companies cost more energy but offer better production bonuses (for extraction and semi-product companies) and produce higher quality goods (for manufacturing).
PP Required per Product
| Quality | PP Required | With Q5 Speed NFT (-65%) |
|---|---|---|
| Q1 | 5 PP | 1.75 PP |
| Q2 | 10 PP | 3.5 PP |
| Q3 | 15 PP | 5.25 PP |
| Q4 | 20 PP | 7 PP |
| Q5 | 25 PP | 8.75 PP |
Material Requirements (Manufacturing)
Manufacturing companies require raw materials to produce goods:
Materials Required = Quality Level x 5 units per product
With Material Efficiency NFT: Materials x (1 - Efficiency% / 100)
With Material Efficiency NFT: Materials x (1 - Efficiency% / 100)
| Quality | Base Materials | With Q5 Efficiency NFT (-60%) |
|---|---|---|
| Q1 | 5 units | 2 units |
| Q2 | 10 units | 4 units |
| Q3 | 15 units | 6 units |
| Q4 | 20 units | 8 units |
| Q5 | 25 units | 10 units |
Semi-Products
Semi-products are intermediate goods that have simplified production requirements:
| Semi-Product | Raw Materials Required | PP Required | Output |
|---|---|---|---|
| Steel | 1 Iron Ore + 1 Coal | 1 PP | 1 Steel |
| Iron Bar | 1 Iron Ore + 1 Coal | 1 PP | 1 Iron Bar |
| Bricks | 1 Clay + 1 Coal | 1 PP | 1 Bricks |
| Concrete | 1 Stone + 1 Sand | 1 PP | 1 Concrete |
| Electricity | 1 Oil | 1 PP | 10 Electricity |
Semi-Product Bonuses
Semi-product companies receive the same quality production bonus as extraction companies: Q1=1x, Q2=1.25x, Q3=1.5x, Q4=1.75x, Q5=2x. This means a Q5 semi-product company produces twice as fast as Q1.
No Quality Levels
Semi-products have no quality levels - they are always produced as base items regardless of company quality. Company quality only affects production speed and max employees.
Company Upgrades

|---|---|---|
| Q1 (Start) | - | 2 |
