10 matches Base and Work Suitability audit
Base audit · Production
Official info Keep a line that still completes the cycle
The 1.0 rebalance does not make a functioning line automatically wrong.
- Base lane
- Production
- Observed state
- Keep
- Audit action
- Record its output and leave it unchanged while checking weaker lanes.
Player job
Decide whether to keep, restaff, or rebuild the production lane.
Use now
Record its output and leave it unchanged while checking weaker lanes.
Safe next action
Observe one complete production cycle after this single change.
Risk
Rebuilding known-good production removes the comparison baseline.
Base audit · Production
Official info Retest a slower production line
Work Suitability values and Pal balance changed, so an old timing target may no longer apply.
- Base lane
- Production
- Observed state
- Retest
- Audit action
- Watch input, work, output, and pickup before deciding which worker changed the pace.
Player job
Decide whether to keep, restaff, or rebuild the production lane.
Use now
Watch input, work, output, and pickup before deciding which worker changed the pace.
Safe next action
Observe one complete production cycle after this single change.
Risk
Adding more facilities can hide the actual worker or material bottleneck.
Base audit · Hauling
Official info Restaff an idle hauling lane
Higher suitability does not help when the assigned route, storage, or pickup order is blocked.
- Base lane
- Hauling
- Observed state
- Restaff
- Audit action
- Follow one item from output to storage and move only the first broken handoff.
Player job
Decide whether to keep, restaff, or rebuild the hauling lane.
Use now
Follow one item from output to storage and move only the first broken handoff.
Safe next action
Observe one complete production cycle after this single change.
Risk
Replacing every worker before checking the route can preserve the same blockage.
Base audit · Hauling
Official info Clear a full output point
A working producer can appear idle when completed items cannot leave the station.
- Base lane
- Hauling
- Observed state
- Rebuild
- Audit action
- Add or relocate the smallest storage or hauling link that empties the output.
Player job
Decide whether to keep, restaff, or rebuild the hauling lane.
Use now
Add or relocate the smallest storage or hauling link that empties the output.
Safe next action
Observe one complete production cycle after this single change.
Risk
Increasing production speed worsens a blocked output.
Base audit · Power
Official info Retest the power margin
New facilities and changed staffing can alter the demand placed on the old power plan.
- Base lane
- Power
- Observed state
- Retest
- Audit action
- Run the busiest normal cycle and confirm power remains stable before expansion.
Player job
Decide whether to keep, restaff, or rebuild the power lane.
Use now
Run the busiest normal cycle and confirm power remains stable before expansion.
Safe next action
Observe one complete production cycle after this single change.
Risk
Testing only during idle time creates a false capacity result.
Base audit · Food and rest
Official info Restaff around food and rest pressure
Production loss can begin outside the work station when workers spend too long recovering or traveling.
- Base lane
- Food and rest
- Observed state
- Restaff
- Audit action
- Compare work time with food, rest, and return travel before replacing the producer.
Player job
Decide whether to keep, restaff, or rebuild the food and rest lane.
Use now
Compare work time with food, rest, and return travel before replacing the producer.
Safe next action
Observe one complete production cycle after this single change.
Risk
Treating recovery travel as low suitability sends the wrong Pal to the line.
Base audit · Defense
Official info Keep one visible defense response
Base defense is useful only when the response does not abandon every critical production job.
- Base lane
- Defense
- Observed state
- Keep
- Audit action
- Assign a clear defense response and confirm the base returns to work afterward.
Player job
Decide whether to keep, restaff, or rebuild the defense lane.
Use now
Assign a clear defense response and confirm the base returns to work afterward.
Safe next action
Observe one complete production cycle after this single change.
Risk
Permanent overstaffing for a rare attack can starve daily production.
Base audit · Pal investment
Official info Retest a favorite Pal after rank-up
Rank-ups can raise Work Suitability and change the job a favorite Pal can perform.
- Base lane
- Pal investment
- Observed state
- Retest
- Audit action
- Compare the Pal on one named lane before spending more enhancement resources.
Player job
Decide whether to keep, restaff, or rebuild the pal investment lane.
Use now
Compare the Pal on one named lane before spending more enhancement resources.
Safe next action
Observe one complete production cycle after this single change.
Risk
Investing without a target job turns the new ceiling into a resource sink.
Base audit · Pal investment
Official info Restaff one bottleneck with a new Pal
The expanded roster can solve a specific lane without making the entire old workforce obsolete.
- Base lane
- Pal investment
- Observed state
- Restaff
- Audit action
- Replace one worker at the first measured bottleneck and compare the complete cycle.
Player job
Decide whether to keep, restaff, or rebuild the pal investment lane.
Use now
Replace one worker at the first measured bottleneck and compare the complete cycle.
Safe next action
Observe one complete production cycle after this single change.
Risk
Swapping many workers at once prevents a useful comparison.
Base audit · Production
Official info Rebuild only after dependencies are mapped
A full redesign is justified when layout, facilities, staffing, and hauling all depend on invalid old assumptions.
- Base lane
- Production
- Observed state
- Rebuild
- Audit action
- Map the current chain and rebuild one connected section at a time.
Player job
Decide whether to keep, restaff, or rebuild the production lane.
Use now
Map the current chain and rebuild one connected section at a time.
Safe next action
Observe one complete production cycle after this single change.
Risk
Demolishing first can strand materials and remove the known-good baseline.
No matching base audit
Try production, hauling, power, rest, investment, or remove one filter.
Failure recovery
Recover a base that stopped after 1.0
Trace one item and one worker before changing the layout.
- 1Choose one failed output
Use a line whose expected input and result are easy to see.
- 2Follow the worker and item
Check material arrival, work, output storage, food, rest, and hauling.
- 3Fix the first broken handoff
Restaff, move storage, or change one facility dependency.
- 4Run a complete cycle
Keep the rest of the base stable until the result is visible.
Decision table
Use observed output, not old suitability math
Use the action column as the next test, not as a claim about hidden game values.
| Situation | Action | Why |
|---|---|---|
| The line still completes on time | Keep it | The actual player job remains solved. |
| Output changed but the chain is intact | Retest staffing | The balance change may be local to one worker role. |
| Items cannot reach storage | Fix hauling or layout | A faster producer cannot clear a blocked output. |
| Several dependencies are obsolete | Rebuild one section | A mapped partial rebuild protects materials and comparisons. |
Player questions
Base & Work FAQ
Use the current game panel before spending rare resources on a value that can change.
What changed about Work Suitability?
Version 1.0 expands Work Suitability to level 10 and rebalances every Pal.
Should I rebuild the whole base?
Not first. Keep a known-good line, trace one failed output, and fix the first broken dependency.
Why is a producer idle?
Check input arrival, output storage, hauling, food, rest, travel, and power before assuming suitability is too low.
Are exact throughput values included?
No. Throughput depends on the live Pal, facility, layout, settings, and current balance.
