How to change workforce growth rate?

[Horux]

Hi,

I need some understanding of how the workforce growth rate works. I would like to increase the growth rate or in other words I would like to decrease the time until all workers in the station. But my changes does not seems ot have any effect.

This is the original xml code in the parameters.xml:

Code: Select all

  <workforce>
    <update interval="600" variation="60" />
    <growth interval="600" rate="10">
      <ratio min="0.2" max="0.95" />
      <factor min="0.1" max="1.0" />
    </growth>
  </workforce>

And this is how I try to change it.

Code: Select all

	<replace sel="/parameters/workforce">
		<update interval="600" variation="60" />
		<growth interval="30" rate="40">
			<ratio min="0.5" max="0.95" />
			<factor min="0.5" max="1.0" />
		</growth>
	</replace>

you replace the entire workforce-node, not just its contents. so you are missing the encapsulating <workforce>.

it should look like this:

Code: Select all

	<replace sel="/parameters/workforce">
	<workforce>
		<update interval="600" variation="60" />
		<growth interval="30" rate="40">
			<ratio min="0.5" max="0.95" />
			<factor min="0.5" max="1.0" />
		</growth>
	</workforce>
	</replace>

All you need to change are growth rate and growth factor from what I've seen. I use

Code: Select all

	<replace sel="//parameters/workforce/growth/@rate">100</replace>
	<replace sel="//parameters/workforce/growth/factor/@min">0.8</replace>

And every 10 minutes my factories go up 80-100. Also, I'm not 100% on this but if you are replacing the entire /workforce then your patch should have both the start and end of workforce. (as confirmed by uni)

Thanks to you both. I missed it because it has no extra parameter.

Can Anyone tell me how to do this what you are talking about? i cant even find the parameters.xml file. Also there isnt a single mod about workforce out there. i wonder why, there are a lot of topics about WF though.
