Industrial Efficiency?

[BettyB]

So, I currently have two industrial projects running and between the two of them they are putting approximately 80 -90 K per week into my bank account. Thing is I can't seem to get the perspective efficiency rates to go above 132%.
I have heard that 200% is attainable.

Hi! This is what the wiki says about it:

Every level adds 4%. Up to a total of 16%.
Budget adds 25% but also costs 50%.
Barracks add 5%, up to a total of 100%, and the cost varies (160, 160, 192, 224).
The policy "Advanced Automation", in the industrial tab, adds 10% but also costs 10%.

These bonuses stack multiplicatively, so the theoretical maximum efficiency is 1.16*1.25*2*1.1=319%. However, there is a limit of 255% in the game.

Place barracks and maintenance buildings. One of those will increase efficiency while the other increases... something else (I forgot what the other increases, and the wiki seems to be down at the moment).

Very informative. Thank You!

Placing workers barracks, up to 20 of them will increase production values. You also get a reduction of pollution from the maintenance buildings for your zones.

As you level up, you also increase production values for an extractor and processor. A large ore mine in a level 5 ore industry with a 200% efficiency, can mine ore at 25,986 units a week compared to the 11.2 given if it were just a level 1 industry.

Supply Chain[skylines.paradoxwikis.com] will help you out, as will (Industries DLC) Optimal ratio of extraction to production for Unique Buildings - no importing and minimal exporting of raw products. has a spreadsheet to fill in to understand how much raw and processed materials you need for your factories.

Just smuggle some illegal immigrants to work in your industrial zones and threaten them with deportation if they don't agree to work 16 hours a day and you will see your efficiency skyrocket which is why I have 1000% efficiency in my industry :P

That's how I got to 132 Then the rest seem to be afraid of water.

Respective fields already have well over 20 barracks each and all are at level five. As I am using the industries to finance any future developments however I am drastically overproducing to turn the whole operation to exporting.

Just make sure that you have plenty of storage as all the extra products, both raw, processed and final will need it so you can keep your industries supplied and export at the same time.

Thanks. Adding more storage now...

Yep! I struggle with maintaining a profit and also making it look and function realistically. Trying to make it realistic and make money is my Ultimate challenge!
