Optician l

Reduction Building

Function:
Lowers Crystal small demand
Requirements:
Optics ( Science )
Expansion requirements:
Wood small and Marble small
Use requirements:
None


Description

Lenses and magnifying glasses don't only help our scientists to see clearly and find important papers on their desk, they are also necessary in order to invent all the new technologies that make us so proud. The optician keeps everything we need carefully stored in boxes, so less things get lost and the demand for Crystal Glass is decreased per building level.

Notes

Every level of the Optician lowers demand for Crystal small by 1% per expansion (only in the town it is built).

Explanation of Reduction Buildings

All reduction buildings add their deduction percentage to that given by Pulley, Geometry and Spirit Level. This means the actual discount is an additional 1% per level of the reduction building, plus the reduction from the level of research you have completed. For example, a Level 1 reduction building combined with Pulley has a net of 3% reduction, with Geometry there is a net of 7%, and with Spirit Level there is a net of 15%. With the maximum level of reduction buildings (Level 32, 32% reduction) and Spirit Level (14%), the maximum reduction for that resource is 46%. This means you use only 54% of the original cost.

Expansion Details

The time (in seconds) it takes to upgrade to the next level is determined by the following formula: $ { \text{Building time (seconds)} = \left \lbrack \cfrac{125,660}{37} \times 1.06^\text{Level} - 2,772\right \rbrack } $

The accumulative time (in seconds) it takes to upgrade up to the next level is determined by the following formula: $ { \text{Accumulative building time (seconds)} = \left \lbrack \cfrac{6,659,980}{111} \times \left (\ 1.06^\text{Level} -\ 1\ \right ) - 2,772 \times \text{Level}\right \rbrack} $

Expansion details

Research and Reduction Building bonuses are shown in the following charts by mousing-over over the research abbreviations (P – G – SL – MR) in the chart.

  • You can mouse-over the letters in the "Minimum Minimum" column to see how many Warehouses are needed for that level.
  • You can also mouse-over the numbers in the "Build Time small" column to get the longer version of what the numbers/Letters represent.
 
Researches that reduce resource requirements for buildings.

Pulley ( Economy ) reduces the required amount of resources by 2%.
Geometry ( Economy ) reduces the required amount of resources by 4%  (6% total).
Spirit Level ( Economy ) reduces the required amount of resources by 8%  (14% total).
 
Buildings that reduce the demand for resources.
These reductions are separate and in addition to the researches, for up to an additional 32% reduction,
providing a minimum of 46% reduction in resources.
An Architect's Office reduces Marble small requirements by 1% for every level built.  (up to 32%)
A Carpenter reduces Wood small requirements by 1% for every level built.  (up to 32%)
A Firework Test Area reduces Sulphur small requirements by 1% for every level built.  (up to 32%)
An Optician reduces Crystal small requirements by 1% for every level built.  (up to 32%)
A Wine Press reduces Wine small requirements by 1% for every level built.  (up to 32%)
 
Buildings that increase the production of resources.

A Alchemist's Tower increases the production of Sulphur small by 2% for every level built.  (up to 64%)
A Forester's House increases the production of Wood small by 2% for every level built.  (up to 64%)
A Glassblower increases the production of Crystal small by 2% for every level built.  (up to 64%)
A Stonemason increases the production of Marble small by 2% for every level built.  (up to 64%)
A Winegrower increases the production of Wine small by 2% for every level built.  (up to 64%)
The Cinetheater increases the production of Wood small and/or 1 Luxury by 20% and/or 150 Favour
The Helios Tower increases the production of Wood small and Luxury by 10% while the tower is illuminated.  (requires Ambrosia)
 
Ikariam Plus options that increase the production of resources
These increases are separate and in addition to the production buildings, for 7 day increments,
making the maximum possible increase in production 84%.
Steam Crystal Drill increases your Crystal small production by an additional 20%, for 5 Ambrosia
Steam Hammer increases your Marble small production by an additional 20%, for 8 Ambrosia
Steam Paddle Wheel increases your Sulphur small production by an additional 20%, for 3 Ambrosia
Steam Saw increases your Wood small production by an additional 20%, for 10 Ambrosia
Steam Wine Press increases your Wine small production by an additional 20%, for 3 Ambrosia
Remember
  1. One (1) dump is equal to four (4) warehouse of the same level, level 40 max.
  2. You can have a maximum of four (4) warehouses and one (1) dump, for a maximum of eight (8) "virtual" warehouses, per town.
