Optician (Pre 8.8)
Standard Building
Function:
Lowers demand
Requirements:
Optics ( Science )
Expansion requirements:
and
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.

WikIkariam Notes

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

This building will reduce the cost of to build the Academy and the Temple, as well as the Palace and the Governor's Residence in higher levels.
It will also affect costs for Unit and Ship upgrades in the Workshop(s), training of Doctors in the Barracks and building of Diving Boats in the Shipyard(s).
This building will also reduce the cost of Experiments done in the Academy by up to 32%.
Note: At the maximum level of the Academy, the cost stays at 300,000 , but the produced research points will rise by the reduction amount.
Example: At level 25 experiments produce 200,000 = 150,000 / (1.0 - 0.25) = 0.75
This building will not affect donations to the Miracle on the island or training of Spies in the Hideout.

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 50, 50% reduction) and Spirit Level (14%), the maximum reduction for that resource is 64%. This means you use only 36% of the original cost.

Expansion Details

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 " column to see how many Warehouses are needed for that level.
You can also mouse-over the numbers in the "Build " 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 50% reduction.
providing a minimum of 64% reduction in resources.

An Architect's Office reduces requirements by 1% for every level built. (up to 50%)
A Carpenter reduces requirements by 1% for every level built. (up to 50%)
A Firework Test Area reduces requirements by 1% for every level built. (up to 50%)
An Optician reduces requirements by 1% for every level built. (up to 50%)
A Wine Press reduces requirements by 1% for every level built. (up to 50%)

Buildings that increase the production of resources.

A Alchemist's Tower increases the production of by 2% for every level built. (up to 122%)
A Forester's House increases the production of by 2% for every level built. (up to 122%)
A Glassblower increases the production of by 2% for every level built. (up to 122%)
A Stonemason increases the production of by 2% for every level built. (up to 122%)
A Winegrower increases the production of by 2% for every level built. (up to 122%)
A Gods' Shrine increases the production of all resources ( , ), including for up to 85%.

The Cinetheater increases the production of and/or 1 by 20% and/or 50
The Helios Tower increases the production of and by 10% while the tower is illuminated. (requires )

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 172%.

Steam Crystal Drill increases your production by an additional 20%, for 5
Steam Hammer increases your production by an additional 20%, for 8
Steam Paddle Wheel increases your production by an additional 20%, for 3
Steam Saw increases your production by an additional 20%, for 10
Steam Wine Press increases your production by an additional 20%, for 3

Reminder

You can have up to 5 warehouses and up to 3 dumps in each city
Each warehouse and each dump increases it's capacity by level exponentially
The total capacity of 5 warehouses and 3 dumps goes up to 4,721,922,628.
