Tertiary resource plant#

The Tertiary Resource Plant is a state-owned enterprise and is available to all players. Recycling secondary resources into building materials is available to princes and clones who own their own settlements with developed secondary production factories.

Any clone can create processing orders, but their execution is limited by their personal daily processing limits. The use of tertiary resources is described in the relevant in-game section.

Production cost#

Tertiary resources are produced in packages. The cost of one package is fixed:

• 0.01 gold coin for processed wood and stone.
• 0.1 gold coin for processed iron.

Additionally, a secondary resource of the corresponding type is required:

• Wood: timber, edged board, mounting strip, lining.
• Stone: foundation block, floor block, facing slab, brick.
• Iron: channel, I-beam, angle, rebar.

At least one unit of recycled material is required to produce packaging. The amount of recycled material in a package depends on the product type.

Processing limits#

There are daily plant limits and personal clone limits.

Plant limit#

A separate daily limit is established for each product type. After the daily production period is complete, the limit may change depending on the overall processing rate:

• Overall ratio = volume of recycled material used / current plant limit.
• More than 1.5: the limit is increased by 5% × (coefficient - 1.5).
• Less than 1.5: the limit is reduced by 10% × (1.5 − coefficient).
• Equals 1.5: the limit does not change.

It is impossible to exceed the plant limit.

Clone’s personal limit#

The personal limit limits the maximum volume of product processing by a clone per day and is calculated as the sum of its limits in the administrative unit and the principality.

Processing orders#

Creating an order#

Processing is carried out through orders, which are processed by the plant once a day at 18:00 GMT. The order specifies the type of product and the number of packages.

The volume of orders is unlimited, but actual production cannot exceed the clone’s personal limit. When an order is created, resources and gold are reserved and returned when the order is deleted.

Processing rate#

The recycling factor determines the amount of secondary resource transferred per package of tertiary resource. A higher factor increases the order’s priority in the queue.

Orders queue#

All orders form a common queue and are processed once per day. Priority is determined by the processing factor, and in the case of a tie, by the order creation time.

Orders that are not executed due to the plant limit restriction are carried over to the next day.
