Redhills can expect 225 units of iron ore per month, which 56 smelters could turn into 22 units of iron, except for 5 of the ore units.

Grayhills can expect 45 units of coal per month, enough that with 11 smelters smelting it would produce 225 units of coke per month. It can also expect around 19 units of uncut diamonds per month, minimum of seven. Side note, I added an extra 0 to the diamond rarity.

Blackhills can expect 20 units of native silver per month, which a single smelter could turn into 2 units of silver.

Yellowhills can expect 2 units of native gold per month, which the same smelter could turn into 1/5 of a unit of gold...well, gold IS rare...

Assuming you allocate 68 smelters to turning ore and coal into metal and coke, that's 200 units of fuel left over for smelting alloys and forging gear. Or export.
I could crunch the numbers on how much steel you could smelt, if you let me know how much iron and how many smelters you can and will allocate to the task.

70 miners in the copper mine, 20 miners in the coal mine

[GreatWyrmGold]

Mine Alpha will get 21 units of native copper and 3 units of coal. A single smelter could turn that into 2 units of copper and 13 of coke every month. You might want to export fuel, or maybe import tin from House Bloodraven and make bronze.

[GreatWyrmGold]

Mesor pointed out that he could make enough armor and such to equip about 3 soldiers per month. Therefore, I am increasing mining yields. Fixed numbers coming soon.

[Kedly]

So I'm assuming each turn will be about a month?

2,700 iron ore, 600 coal, ~185 uncut diamonds, 200 native silver, 20 native gold

Readjusting the coal reaction from 1->5 every week to 5->15 every week, 30 smelters would be able to turn the coal into 1,800 units of coke per month.
Smelting the iron ores into iron will require 68 smelters and 270 of the coke, and will produce 270 iron.
Smelting the silver will take 5 smelters and 20 coke, and produce 20 silver.
Smelting the gold will be doable by the spare half-smelter on iron and produce two units of gold, each month.
Total coke left over: 1,508 coke, for forging, smelting iron, export, etc. Smelters needed: 103

400 malachite, 20 coal
With the new coal formula, one smelter would produce 60 coke. Ten smelters would turn the malachite into 40 copper every month, leaving 20 coke for smelting, forging, and export. Probably mostly forging?

So I'm assuming each turn will be about a month?

I haven't said that? No, I haven't. Yeah, that struck me as a good number.

[Kedly]

Yeah that sounds like a good number to me...

edit: nevermind, I'll probably need all that coke (eheheh)

[GreatWyrmGold]

Sure. Let me change it...

[Kedly]

lol I'm not making things easy xD

[mesor]

I have 170 smelters.
So that leaves 67 to turn iron into steel.

You said 3 iron to between 1-2 steel so If I say 3 Iron makes 1.5 units of steel?
I can work out how much steel I'll make each month myself if that ratio works for you.

[GreatWyrmGold]

You are, however, participating. Which reminds me, I need to change some fiefs to NPC...

That could work. Remember, you also need a unit of charcoal for the steel...so I need to finalize the logging rules...

10 units of wood per tree and 10 trees per woodcutter per month sound okay?

[mesor]

Yup sounds about right.
I can always set them to work on something else once I've got plenty of wood stored up.

[GreatWyrmGold]

Excellent. That's about half of the woodcutting mechanics. How about tree regrowth rate? I was thinking of abstracting the size of forests as two numbers, current number of trees and maximum number of trees, and have regrowth rate be the average of those numbers, divided by 10, per year. Does this number, or at least the mathematical concept behind it, sound okay?

And does anyone know how long it takes a tree to reach maturity in, say, Canada?

[Kedly]

100 years?

edit: At LEAST 40

[mesor]

40 if it's realistic.
So maybe 20 in the game since we're likely to use a lot?
