Jose i again increased population and acres and redistributed acres but i still have 1 star on utilities. Maybe there is a "bug" because i am still increasing utilities with bar golds. Is it possible ?

Stars are reflective of the number of workers, the amount of acres assigned, and the level of development. Getting 5 stars takes a lot of GBs. I've spent at least 25M on plantation development, and I don't have 5 stars.

Not a bug.

but what they say is that when you increase number of workers in one building, stars decrease. but in my case it didn't happen.
i increased population, i increased acres, i increased number of workers per building, but my stars never decreased.

[DezNutz]

Who is they? And where does it say it has to decrease. If you have sufficient acres for say Kitchens, and you increase both workers and acres adequately, you may not see a change in stars.

Summary - not verified but looks reasonable - your mileage will vary
Some information is old - changes may have been applied
Plantations need to be well developed to make a profit and need constant tweaking

Acres are rented for 30 days or use Fertile Lands - don't forget to renew

Start by upgrading the Utilities first - at least 2 stars and keep it there - above 4 reduced returns.
Housing and Recreation next.
Kitchen and Baths last
Guards don't do anything - unless some has seen a fire

Field Acres: default

Gold bars to keep upgrading gc to speed up
Your plantation population will affect your buildings level - stars will reduce as you add workers

Expertise - Captain Jack
There are 6 levels of expertise in terms of "broad categorization". In reality, it is a very in-depth index that is counted on experience points.

I have made a very in-depth investigation of the issue and I found the following:
-All plantation workers are currently around Novice expertise.
-Some are more experienced than others but the differences are not big.
-The key issue to this was the learning process was too steep for them: It would take TOO long of a time for any worker to become a Guru, which is the highest possible expertise.

As a result, I issued an update to the code. Learning process is now a lot faster. Around 25 times faster. So, if someone was to reach his full experise at 25 days, now he will reach it in 1. This means, you will start seeing results but do not hold your breath as the process is still needs time.

i quoted Jose gasparilla, who i think quoted another person. it is why i wrote that even changing values, i have never seen my stars decreasing.

Did you ask the Advisor?

Many factors influence the number of stars -

>When you increase number of workers in one building
The maximum number of workers per facility acre is fixed - over allocating facility acres will not achieve anything

So if you increase the number of field workers by reallocating acres or by importing you can add workers to a particular facility

If you allocate more staffed acres to a facility the stars may increase

If you allocate less acres to a facility the stars may decrease

If you add more total workers the stars are likely to decrease

If you don't have sufficient resources for the facility the stars will decrease

There is a random calculation for stars that probably occurs at reset and the number of stars may increase or decrease even though nothing has changed

[Whitcomb The Feared]

the higher the number of worker is and the faster the workers increase stars but also the higher the amount of gold bars is needed.
And if you don't invest more gold bars, stars decrease.
