Factors[edit]
Outdoors:
| Location | Factor | 
|---|---|
| Indoors | ×100% | 
| Outdoors | ×75% | 
Work Table Temperature:
| Temperature | Factor | 
|---|---|
| < 9 °C (48.2 °F) | ×70% | 
| > 39 °C (102.2 °F) | ×70% | 
Room Stats:
| Room Stat | Custom Label | 
|---|---|
| Research speed factor | Room cleanliness | 
| Reading bonus | Reading bonus | 
Room cleanliness is a multiplier ranging from 75% - 115% (75% without a room), depending on the cleanliness of a room.
| Cleanliness | Factor | 
|---|---|
| -5.0 | 0.75 | 
| -2.5 | 0.85 | 
| 0.0 | 1.00 | 
| 1.0 | 1.15 | 
Reading bonus is a multiplier ranging from 100% - 120% (100% without a room), depending on the number of books in bookcases in a room. It is not affected by books on the floor.
There are diminishing returns on reading bonus for the number of books:
| Books | Reading Bonus Offset Per Book | 
|---|---|
| 1-5 | +0.8% | 
| 6-10 | +0.4% | 
| 11-15 | +0.2% | 
| 16+ | +0.1% | 
Books 1-5 give a total of +4%, books 6-10 a total +2, 11-15 a total +1%, and 16+ a mere +0.1% per book. To reach the maximum bonus of 120%, it would require a total of 155 books.
See Reading Bonus for further details.
Calculating Research Speed Factor[edit]
The factors for Research Speed Factor are: Research Speed Factor Base, Research Speed Factor Offset, Outdoors, Work Table Temperature, Room cleanliness, and Reading bonus. This would be written out as:
Research Speed Factor = (Research Speed Factor Base + Research Speed Factor Offset) × Outdoors × Work Table Temperature × Room cleanliness × Reading bonus
The maximum would be:
(1 + 0.1) × 1 × 1 × 1.15 × 1.2 = 1.518
For an effective limit of 151.8%.
The minimum would be:
(0.75 + 0) × 0.75 × 0.7 × 0.75 × 1 = 0.2953125
For an effective limit of 29.53125%.
