I was confused on how Improving works.
And after some logic thinking and such.
I've made the following assumption.
Unlike upgrade, this does not have a end, using gold bars adds a value into a hidden value, basically it adds time to improving things.
If I have 10 hours from 10 bars, if I reach the end, with 10 workers, I would have produced the same result as 10 minutes of 10 bars from lots more workers.
Basically, I have 1 tick of 600 worker's work, or 60 ticks of 10 worker's work.
They will produce the same result from the same number of gold, it just takes longer or shorter based on the number of workers you have.
Because the worker's value of exponential decay, it would be more worth it to have it longer.
Think of stars as a hidden value, it decays over time when used, but they makes things more productive (Faster).
5000/max - Half stars
25000/max - 1 star
125000/max - 1 and half star.
Etc...etc...
There was never a decay, the decay comes from the workers using the facilities. When you improve something, it increases the speed at which the star value increases.
By putting workers into the facilities, it slows down the decay. Allowing you to maintain the stars.
Basically, the stars represents the number of stocks you have in the facilities.
From what I've read in this post and what I've tested, this theory of how this mechanic works, still stands.
But, there is a high chance it's wrong, in little places.
Tell me if anyone found anything I need to know.
"Got ya."
