I have a Province with a Components resource, and a Level-2 Local Industry which adds +150% Production. Current Component prod is 440. The question is, is it worth it to upgrade to L3 Local Industry?
Since the province is currently getting a +150% bonus (i.e. 2.5X production) from the L2, the base output is 440/2.5 = 176. The L3 is a +200% bonus (i.e. 3X production) so 176 * 3.0 = 528
So that's an increase of 528 - 440 = 88. Since it costs 1000 Components to build, it takes 1000 / 88 = 11.4 days to break even (not counting the 1000 supplies and $2500)
The shorter equation is NewProd = ExistingProd * NewBonus/OldBonus i.e. 440 * 3.0 / 2.5 = 528
Obviously, the L1 upgrade is essential, but I am unsure of the L2 and L3 upgrades. 11 days seems like a long time to start increasing production.
Am I wrong?
