My understanding of the Ocrowd mechanism was that the more materials are extracted from a resource, the higher the Ocrowd goes.

However this is not what seems to be happening.

Specifically Ocrowd seems to consider facilities which are not in production (HALTED) to be in full production when calculating the Ocrowd penalty. Thus even if several people in a location are not producing anything the rest is hit by a potentially very significant Ocrowd penalty.

It seems like this is both a bug and a problem as it can be used to cheaply overcrowd locations (you overcrowd by not producing anything - so you pay very little for causing the Ocrowd).

I suspect that this is not what is intended but it has at times a very important impact on the game economics.

(I am not sure how Ocrowding handles facilities in partial production but that may be also an issue? Maybe worth checking if this is being looked into)



I didnt find this.
My facilities were caused the overcrowding in a particular area to jump to 44%.
I switched it off, and checked out the overcrowding, which had dropped to 30%


Not to say its not happening, but at least in Cairo it didnt :p]]> Mon, 17 Jul 2017 04:29:50 GMT http://forum.baronsofthegalaxy.com/topic2719-ocrowd--facilities-with-reduced-production.aspx Message from Aywanez Mon, 17 Jul 2017 02:48:11 GMT http://forum.baronsofthegalaxy.com/topic2719-ocrowd--facilities-with-reduced-production.aspx Message from Vulpex
