production curiosity

[ww2vet]

ok. Im just a little confused on the whole production factor of Call to Power. Say that your bringing in 200 production every turn. you have a support cost for your units that is 150. My question, is the unit support cost the only thing that costs you production. And if you have say from the example: 50 production left at the end of your turn would it be kept as " storage" or lost at the end of the turn. thanks

Production is what you use to build everything. Maintenance of units drains production. Saving for public works also drains production. Whatever is left over is what you have left to build units and improvements.

I thought that public works came from gold that youset aside.

I'm so confused.

This is very complicate ...

1) A city produce a fixed amount of production each turn.

2) The amount is modified by building.

3) This amount is modified by the worked time per day.
The base worked time per day is 8h / day ( + 0 % production modifier.)
You can modify this time by step of 2 hours :
-/+ 2h/day = -/+25 % production

4) Your kind of gouvernment give extra production for each working people (depending on gouvernment and worked time per day).

5) Enemies can stealyou production.

6) Criminality steal you production (criminality is high on low happy city).

7) Army cost you a percentage of production.

8) Public work cost you a percentage of production.

Anyone knows how to get city's production with SLIC ?
Is it possible ?
Thank you if anyone help me.

Do you want to increase your public works ?

Then try this (extracted from Keygen Mod):

Triger 'StartUp' when (unit.beginturn && (g.year ==0)) {
SetPW(g.player, 50000)
}

Or do you want to know how much production have a city?

I want to know how much production have the city.
Do you know a way to get it ?

[berXpert]

I don't know SLIC too much, but there is a variable named but undocumented that maybe is what you want:

city.buildingpop (maybe is when the window city status open)

Other thing I've noted is that in the city status the tab are named like the city variables:

[name], size (population), food, [production], [gold], [science], happiness, producing (building), [turns to build], rush buy(overtime cost)

some are documented but others not! I think that somewhere this values must be saved


I read somewhere that you can also access the UI Component from the program, like in the triggers


Trigger 'MyTrigger' on "ControlPanelWindow.CityUnitSelectedTabGroup.Macrot ab" when (g.player == g.tutorialplayer ) {

commans

}


---

Finally maybe there are some stuff in the middle of the strings variable that I never see documented (maybe 'coz you can use inside the SLIC) but that makes sense for a multiplayer game:

strings.system.requestdenied
strings.system.kicked
strings.system.gamesetup
strings.system.gameenter
strings.system.gamehost
strings.system.gamecreate
strings.system.launched
strings.playstylevalues
strings.ppt
strings.playstyles
strings.system.donhavecd
strings.system.readytolaunch
strings.customrules
strings.excludedunitinfo
strings.excludedimprovementinfo
strings.excludedwonderinfo
strings.dynamicjoin
strings.handicapping
strings.goldinfo
strings.pwinfo
strings.bloodlust
strings.pollution
strings.mapsize
strings.mapsizestrings
strings.privatemessage
strings.teammessage
strings.email
strings.hotseat

... much more

Maybe is just trash but hope it help you

Maybe Fuzzball can understand this strings with his proyect to make PBEM and Internet game interchangeable

Thanx Berxpert. I think some of this information will definitely come in handy when I get back around to that Pbem/Multiplayer project. I've sidelined it for a while though, as I really have to finish a ctp mod I promised some friends of mine about hmmmm.......3 months ago? Maybe longer....hehe But there's always one more thing I want to change....and somehow I've killed the whole mod trying change just that one thing so many times Soon guys...I promise...soon....

I assume you're talking about your civilization's total production output per turn. In Call To Power, units belong to the civilization as a whole. individual cities do not support the units.

Now, this is the question! I'll keep it simple

Answer: No, the unit support cost is NOT the only thing that costs you production. There are other factors to consider:

- Public Works (%) come from production you set aside for tile improvements.

- Crime rate affects your production negatively.

- As Zobo points out, your opponents can 'steal' a percentage of your production by making use of Corporate Branches and Subneural Ads.

Answer: In this example, the 50 production left at the end of the turn would be used for building units, improvements and wonders.

Actually, you can allocate a percentage of your surplus gold to science. Keep in mind that at the beginning of each turn, improvements upkeep costs are deducted from your entire gold income.
