More time taken.....why?

i think something wrong with my expanded well and mine.
i expanded them to 100m.

when i made the production for one day calculation, it take 46min more than 24 hour to produce my products.

i made the calculation like this
24x60x60=86400sec/(time take for the product)

other wells and mines are ok with that calculation.(unexpanded one are ok)

You didn't happen to forget to hire workers after you expanded?

I don't do the second calculations. I just take the hourly rate listed in the building and times it by the hours I need.

sure....i hire all. if i didn't hire the time taken will be like 6days instead of 1 day. now the time difference is 46minutes.

Did you happen to level when you expanded the mines and wells?

The efficiency of your new employees isn't 100%. If you have 5 20m buildings, they will produce more in the same amount of time as 1 100m building.

This efficiency drop is seen in the real world too. There's always some degree of socializing, or the occasional task that requires both of the employees to complete, so that the efficiency gain of doubling your staff is never 100%.

If there were no building caps, it would be more efficient to just build more buildings and have several hundred 20m buildings.

ya....i know the effiency drop when we expand the buliding.
but this is not what i mean.

as my first post already told i calculate with the time 24hour.
and it worked every other building. i have expanded my power plant too and it also work with this 24hours calculation.

but at my 100m well it took 46min more than i calculated. same to the 50m well and 100m mine but not 46 min(a little different depending on the meter).

only 3 building has this error.
1. 100m Mine Saudi
2. 50m Well Saudi
3. 100m Well Saudi
