Is Plant Worker Age...

[Stan Rogers]

A question I suspect only CJ can answer however here goes-
Should a plant workers age be a consideration when buying and selling workers ?
It was stated workers do get old and die and should that metric be made available to the "market"?

[DezNutz]

Interesting thought.

I would lean to say no for the primary reason that you aren't buying individual workers. You are buying in bulk. Sales would have to be individualized to include age of worker as a consideration.

I suspect that there could be a general mechanic that utilizes percentages to roughly estimate populations age, birth, and death rates, but nothing that would meaningfully quantify age in worker sales

What do you mean they age? How do you know they age? Where does it say they age? why are they still working if they are elderly!!! Shouldn’t they be in a retirement community in Boca Raton Fl with all the other aging peoples? I’m so lost..

Your plant workers are at maximum 6 years older than when you bought them if they have somehow managed to survive since implementation.

Well, we can’t factor in age if we don’t know how it is calculated (if it is even calculated). I have had the same set of workers on two of my plants for years now - experience has maxed out but no deterioration is noticeable unless I leave them without food for a week or two.

I now notice on one plant, an original start port when made available so prolly 6 urs old approx.
Recently, I have to reduce work hrs to maintain good health and no apparent reason observed with same parameters as always was adequate.
I think they are getting old and no longer can do a full days work without health repercussions
Is that possible?

True. what exactly are we looking at? Child Labor? if so 6 years in a field won't do much damage. what is the starting point? were they teenage runaways like the sailors? were they adults stolen from a country? are they mixed ages?

they don't reproduce either and that is maybe because they haven't reached puberty because Mel did some infertility ritual that went haywire.

Also how fast do they age? like humans or like dogs.

I have the same results as you Pitt probably because I don't find glee in killing off workers like Deznuts would.

While it is definitely quicker to have an active plantation to kill your workers, it isn't required.

I sent my workers on the Liechtenstein March for Freedom when I took a hiatus. Of the half million workers that sought freedom, only 35 survived to this day. Starvation is a powerful motivator to die

Well as we discovered they only live to be 6 years old because the only thing they eat is one chicken nugget per day
