Production efficiency

[contecorti]

What is production efficiency what are the factors or modifiers which influence it?
I would also add that the text of production modifier is bugged because instead for example of 0,3% it should be 30%, 0,5% should be 50% and so on....

Production Efficiency is based on your current Production technology level - as you research higher Production technology levels, your Production Efficiency will increase.

As for the text of the production modifier, where in the game do you see it bugged?

I meant the text of production efficiency is wrong.Production efficiency percentage is 100 times smaller than it is if anyone can tell me how to post a screenshot on the forum i can show it.
For example if my production efficiency is 32% it is written 0,32%

And btw, how come Aristocracy gives higher production efficiency? What is the logic behind that?

More nobles means more land being worked, etc..?

But seriously, it is really flawed to indicate that Aristocracy increases production efficiency; In real life history, it is exactly the opposite. Land divided on few hands is perhaps the principal factor for Spain's decline!

The division of land is extremely important for agrarian society, reports going from 20% -> 100% more efficiency if the land is mainly worked on by its owner. (One who is paid to work the land, or who is share-cropping, will generally be much less efficient) Last semester I had a course in development economics, so this kinda got me annoyed.

And what about undermining effect aristocracy had on merit?

Aristocracy certainly wouldn't increase production efficiency.

Aristocracy used to be underpowered and Naval also. So they switched some things around. They added prod eff to Naval along with trade, making it an economically superior choice (to pay for the more expensive armies). In order to make Aristocracy viable and avoid making Plutocracy/Naval a total powerhouse, they made this tradeoff. Aristocracy does hurt Trade efficiency, which means it aint that great, and could still be a factor of decline in a major trade nation, like Spain.

Well, I don't see why they had to add production efficiency to naval. It would make sense if naval increased trade efficiency (+Better & cheaper navies) while land increased production efficiency.. Or just made armies cheaper/better.

It is simply illogical that more aristocracy would lead to more production. Another ting: Why didn't they just make it more intuitive by write 10% & -10% instead of -10% & -20%. It is not a big deal, but for newcomers, it could be confusing.
