Passive production versus gathering trips

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.
