Workforce planning

Separate available settlers, assigned jobs and unfilled positions. A staffing worksheet can reveal an overcommitted plan without assuming worker efficiency.

Gap

Unfilled or double-counted positions

Count assignments explicitly

Use one record per role or workplace. Assigning the same worker to production and hauling in your plan overstates capacity even before any game-specific efficiency is considered.

Vacancies versus throughput

A vacancy is an arithmetic gap. It is not proof of why production is slow: materials, delivery or a paused process can be separate bottlenecks. Inspect those before using worker counts to predict output.

Use measured values

Manual calculators accept your planned staff or observed rates. They do not label a particular staffing level optimal, and they cannot infer travel penalties or role bonuses.
