Why is my head researcher overwhelmed?

[qualiall]

I have a head researcher with 4 out of 6 regular researchers-but it shows my head researcher is super overwhelmed-like 20/10 or something like that-the game doesn't make it obvious on how to fix. I searched "overwhelmed" in the forums here, but it only talked about headmaster, and she is doing fine.

the management points is kinda mysterious rn.

Start training all your research staff in research using the training room. The higher their scores in Research and Management the less and less stressed they get. I had the exact same problem until I started training them constantly.

Is the total of management scores for your researchers exceeding the management score of the head researcher? If it's too high then your head researcher can't manage them, you can try to train the head researcher's management skill, replace them with someone else who has high management and research skill, or allocate upper management points to that department.

The 4/6 number of researcher, 4 is the numbers the researchers you currently assign to a room, 6 is the capacity of the room - affected by thr number of research desks/stations and entirely seperate from the management capacity of the Research Chief. 20/10, 20 is the management cost to manage the room (5x4=20), 10 is the management skill of the research chief.

The research chief's management capacity is their Management skill; as a rule of hand, without modifiers due to management option from management room or classroom, a personel cost around 5 management points to fulfill (there's an option in the management room to add +1 management cost to personel to make them cost less money or sth I think).

So, your research room has 6 research desk so it has a personel capacity of 6 (+1 seperate table for the chief), your chief has 10 management skill means he can only manage 2 researchers beneath him. To manage 4 researcher, your chief needs at least 20 management skill.

Tl;dr: train your research chief or slap someone with at least 20 in management in to manage your current researchers, or someone with 30 in management in to manage the whole room.
