Waste Per Building

They don’t give you the amount of waste made by each building for the majority of waste creating buildings, here is a quick list to help anyone do the math for waste management.

• Tech Lab: 1 waste per cycle at cycle start.
• Electronics Factory: 1 per completed transform.
• Polymer Refinery: 1 per completed transform.
• Steel Mill: 1 per completed transform.
• Fusion Station: 1 per completed transform.
• Crop Farm (with Crop Fields): 13 per completed transform at x9 Fields.
• Algae Farm (with Algae Plantations): 9 per completed transform at x4 Plantations (+1 per extra plantation).
• Nuclear Power Plant: 1 per Hydrogen.

Housing Waste

• Housing waste is 1 per 20 pop every 15 cycles in crew quarters (and upgraded housing)
  = 0.05 per 20 pop per cycle —— or ———- 1 waste per cycle at 400 pop.
• Cell Housing is 1 waste per 20 pop every 5 cycles
  = 0.2 per 20 pop per cycle ——–or———– 1 waster per cycle at 100 pop.

Specializations and Upgrades

So at the moment all I’ve tested is the crop farm fully upgraded.

Normal crop farm >

13 Waste per 10 Cycles ——— 1.3 waste/Cycle

Upgraded crop farm (30% more waste and 40% more speed) >

12 Waste per 7.1 Cycles ——– 1.69 Waste/Cycle nice

Maximized crop farm (upgraded and sector bonus, 60% more waste and 40% more speed) >

12 Waste per 7.1 Cycles???? I’m assuming this is a bug right now but it should be

<12.48 Waste per 6 Cycles —– 2.08 Waste/Cycle>
or
<12 Waste per 6 Cycles ———– 2 Waste/Cycle>

• These buildings only get waste bonus from the farm sector (30% more Waste)
• Algae Plantation —— 9W/?C {?} -> 11.7W/?C {?} (has speed upgrades 20%)
• Pop housing ———– 1W/20P/15C {.066} -> 1.3/20P/15C {.086} (normal)?
• 1W/20P/5C {.2} -> 1.3W/20P/5C {.26} (Cell)?
• Factories ————— 1.3 per transform? 2 waste every 3rd transform?

P.S. For some reason crop farms are not 40% faster only 29%? also there description for harvest time never changes on the tool tip.
