Recovered from game v30, build 254. A source match confirms the stored value; it does not confirm live gameplay behavior.

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.
