Passive production versus gathering trips
Understand which resource numbers happiness can change
ORYANDA has more than one way resources appear in your city. Passive production indicators describe activity over time, while a gathering mission assigns workers to collect and return a specific load.
Happiness changes the effectiveness of worker-led gathering trips, not the passive hourly production figure displayed in the top resource bar. Site stock, worker assignment, cargo, travel and storage still limit actual deliveries.
If you notice a difference between the rate shown at the top and a resource delivery, compare equivalent activities. A gathering bonus is not a promise that every resource timer or building production figure will increase.
