Could you elaborate a bit further on No.2 please.

Consumption products... so quality of infrastructure will not affect welfare? or do hosps and such count as consumables. Do all products have an equal influence? weighted by amount used? and other things, it would be great to have an idea of what's what here because I am foreseeing that experimenting to work it out is going to be a very long, costly process. And if further tweaks are going to be made then we cant really use this feature without a bit of insight.
Thanks for your help, Crafty.

The consumption quality index is computed as a weighted average of all products that are consumed by the country excluding ammunition.

these are products that are used on monthly bases. you can see the consumption numbers on the trading pages.

this weighted average will not change any more.

the influence of the index on the welfare index is described in the game news.

the influence will increase in the coming weeks and will probably end up at 5%.
very low quality index may reduce the welfare index by 5% and a very high quality, 300 or higher, may increase the index by up to 5%.

It will be done in several steps.

The only issue here andy is that from what we see you need 200Q goods to remain broken even "a point where welfare doesnt go up for down".

Q of goods in a nation effect the cost of health, trans, government. ECT.

Your really wanting use higher Q(go from 100Q-->200Q) Doubling the Q also double are costs to make the same income.

As stated the GM needs to use a test country and give the nation 100Q roads/rails/water maintance then after awhile use 300Q. You will notice a MASSIVE increase is cost. Well the income benift remains low. It makes at the moment no sence to buy high Q goods. The GM should look into a couple of things that might help this run much more smoothly. Either using less materials when you have higher Q goods or higher Q goods reducing the costs of the effected area of the game.

A... Higher Quility means less needed. This is true in the real world. You use better grade gasoline for a car/
