Production vs. Rank

[Guest]

This hasn't happened to me yet but it's about to. When you rise in rank I understand that you take a reduction in production to the buildings that you don't expand. They will produce less in the same amount of time the higher your rank.

The question I have is this: If I go up a rank, are all the bulidings that are currently producing affected? By that I mean will they immediately recalculate at the the higher rank and apply that to the quantity being produced (or still to be produced)? Or is the time/quantity locked in at the time production starts?

An example might be if I started item production at 100 items in 24 hours and rose a rank while there was 12 hours of production left. Will the entire quantity be produced in the time it originally was ordered? Will it be half and half, half at the lower rank/half at the higher rank? Or will the entire production run be recalulated at the higher rank?

Thanks for any help on this question.

No.
Once the production has started, the amount and time will stay the same. The calculations are done at the start and stay like this till the end of the production.

Thank you, Elwood. That's good to know. I was going crazy wondering how I was going to recalculate start times if it did change in mid-production.
