Worker Efficiency

Worker efficiency increases the production rate of a material. Normally, there are diminishing returns for workers assigned to a job (e.g. 10 workers assigned to a job are not 10x faster than 1 worker); worker efficiency offsets this diminishing return. As such, worker efficiency is most impactful on jobs that have many workers assigned to them.

Worker efficiency is upgraded by Fluid (for Machine), Powder (for Soldier), Energized cells (for Inventor), or Composites (for Hunter).

Note: Increasing worker efficiency will increase the consumption rate of required materials (because the production rate increases and the material cost remains the same). Increasing worker efficiency of Heat will simply increase its production rate (as it requires no materials).
