How planet score is calculated
Planet score is the majority of a players score Score
Step 1: The value of the planet is calculated
Each industry has a capacity, this capacity is the max number of workers that can work in the industry, but never more than the total colonists on the planet.
The value of an industry is the capacity times its cost.
Adding each industry's value results in a value for the planet. These include Refineries, Civilian Factories, Basic Industry, Armaments, and Ship Yards.
Note: Some jobs in Galaxicus have no value, such as government, it does not have a capacity thus no value.
Step 2: The standard of living is calculated.
The standard of living is based on the number of consumer goods used. Take for example when a colonist purchases a TV (using an earth term) he does not need to purchase another for a long time.
Standard of living equals consumer goods used divided by colonists and troops.
Example and inner workings
Standard of living cannot be more than 300% and not less than 25%.
If a planet is below 25% it will take at least colonists divided by four before the SOL will change.
Example: A planet has 1,000,000 colonists and the player has not added any consumer goods to the planet. The player should bring at least 250,000 goods to the planet and it will take 1/4 year of game time for the colonists to consume the goods.
The example is very simple since it does not include planet growth and is only enough to 'feed' the 1,000,000 population their basic desire.
Ideally the player would bring 3,000,000 consumer goods to get to 300% SOL.
How consumer goods are consumed
Each colonist consumes one consumer good per year. If there none, then they will be unhappy and the standard of living will decrease.
The total purchased goods will reflect the Standard of Living. Over time consumer goods break allowing colonists to repurchase a new item.
When a planet changes owners
The used consumer goods remain for the new owner.
Step 3: The final calculation
By adding the following together results in the final score.
- SOL times colonists
- SOL times troops times 75%
- Planet Value
- Square Root (Taxes plus Metal Stock plus Metal Ore times 30)
- Minus Loan
NOTE: It is possible for a very large loan zero out a planet score
