}Gameplay checks
- Observe a full production cycle and compare actual materials consumed and produced.
- Verify whether all recovered branches are active for this building.
- Measure timing with a fixed workforce and nearby storage.
- Check equipment requirements, capacity limits and unused leftovers.
Material balance, not production speed
These ratios eliminate intermediate states. Worker availability, equipment, storage, hauling and animation timing still need gameplay checks.
