What do the values in a factory mean?

New thread since it's a question some other newbie lurker might have.

When you're looking at your factories, there's an imput and output area.
In that area, beneath the input and output symbols, there are values, like 0.4 or 1. There's two rows of them, one in black and one in gray.

What do those mean? Input-output effeciency at the moment + efficiency if fully staffed? Efficiency if all the pops where 75k-99k?

the larger number is what the factory needs if at full capacity and efficiency

the smaller number is what the factory is currently using of that good to produce what it actually produces

So it gives a rough idea of the factory efficiency at the current time in terms of inputs needed and output produced.

If the inputs at full capacity require 1 unit of each input but are only taking in 0.3 of each unit to produce 0.1 of the output when at full efficiency you'd be producing 1 unit, then you are running a very inefficient factory.

I love this game. You learn something new about it every time.

Aye.

Ah cheers. And is this efficiency related to the tech modifiers, or to the size/type of POPs working in it? Or both?

Both, plus infrastructure(railroads).

part 1: POP type and size.
part 2: infrastructure
part 3: capitalist
part 4: tech
