Optimization

The algorithm iterates over all possible and meaningful Control Nexus permutations, it then fills other rooms based on the following heuristic:

score = production_bonus + (uptime_gain * 2.2)

This comes from the fact that baseline production is 220% assuming the room is filled with 3 non-matching operators. This is why I count every 1% uptime gain as 2.2% effective production gain.

This gives us a good enough starting point from which we can then try to further optimize by exhaustive search until the score is no longer improving.

Efficiency Calculation

Base efficiency depends on operators in room:

base = 100% + (40% × operator_count)

Matching stat bonuses sum up and multiply the base:

nominal = base × (1 + stat_bonus%)

Mood System

Operators work until mood hits 0%, then rest. Base rates:

mood_drop = 7% per hour

mood_regen = 12% per hour

Slow Mood Drop reduces drop rate, Mood Regen (Control Nexus) increases regen for all:

work_hours = 100 / (7 × (1 − slow_mood_drop%))

rest_hours = 100 / (12 × (1 + mood_regen%))

Effective Efficiency

Uptime accounts for work/rest cycle:

uptime = work_hours / (work_hours + rest_hours)

effective = nominal × uptime
