Companies and production

The whole Imperix economy runs on 12 company types: three raw extractors, then three production chains (food, ammunition, components), each three tiers deep. Every finished good in the game is built by someone’s company.

The three chains

Everything starts from three raw materials, one per chain:

• GrainFood chain
• IronAmmo chain
• SiliconComponent chain

Each chain refines its raw material up through three tiers. Higher tiers also consume the tier below them, so an advanced good carries the whole chain’s work inside it.

Raw extractors

Company	Produces	Base output	Cost	Level
Grain Farm	Grain	100	10	2
Iron Mine	Iron	100	10	2
Silicon Quarry	Silicon	100	10	2

Food chain

Company	Tier	Inputs	Produces	Base output	Cost	Level
Bakery	1	2 Grain	Bread	100	15	2
Fish Smokehouse	2	2 Grain, 1 Bread	Fish	80	20	5
Butchery	3	3 Grain, 1 Fish	Meat	60	25	7

Ammunition chain

Company	Tier	Inputs	Produces	Base output	Cost	Level
Ammo Press	1	2 Iron	9mm	100	15	2
Munitions Factory	2	2 Iron, 1 of 9mm	5.45mm	80	20	5
Heavy Arms Plant	3	3 Iron, 1 of 5.45mm	.50 Cal	60	25	7

Component chain

Company	Tier	Inputs	Produces	Base output	Cost	Level
Circuit Fabricator	1	2 Silicon	Electronics	80	20	2
Alloy Forge	2	2 Silicon, 1 Electronics	Alloys	60	25	3
Polymer Lab	3	3 Silicon, 1 Alloys	Polymers	40	30	5

Components feed the workshop rather than the battlefield: Electronics, Alloys and Polymers are what you craft equipment from.

How much a company produces

Daily output follows one formula:

output = base output × (1 + 0.10 × workers today) × region multiplier

Then it rounds down. Three levers:

1. Base output. Set by the company (the tables above). Raw and tier-1 sit highest; each step up the chain trades raw throughput for a more valuable good.
2. Workers. Each distinct employee who works there that day adds +10%, up to 10 employees for a full +100% (double). You count as one worker on your own company.
3. Region multiplier. Where the company sits. This combines the region’s prosperity (roughly ×0.85 to ×1.30) and any resource deposit bonus for that chain (up to ×1.20).

Worked example. A Bakery (base 100) with 5 employees in an average region (×1.0): 100 × (1 + 0.5) × 1.0 = 150 Bread. Move it to a prosperous region sitting on a rich Grain deposit (say ×1.30 × ×1.15 ≈ ×1.50) and staff it fully: 100 × 2.0 × 1.50 = 300 Bread from the same building.

Ownership limits

Limit	Value
Companies per player	20
Companies of the same type	10
Refund when you dissolve a company	40% of its build cost

Location is a real decision

Two identical companies can differ by 50% or more in output purely from prosperity and deposits. Before you build, read Regions and resources, then place the company where its chain is favoured.
