I have got two Glass furnances for several weeks, but my base did not get a single metallurgy expert. Are there experiences with that? I know, glass is not a metall, but the GF is listed under metallurgy. Thanks for your feedback in advance!
Using all consumables? 20x production orders?
Even 2 weeks with 1 GF seems like it would have gotten you the first expert. If you’re coming to the end of 2 long production runs i would just wait and see. If you’re doing shorter runs i’d be more concerned
Thx for the response. I do use all basic consumables, I do use PWO and REP. But I do not use COF and KOM. Is this a must to get the experts? I use two Glass furnances, but I have got only 60 out of 160 settlers atm. I use these two GFs for 5 weeks now.
@prophetar contact @molp, this is an interesting situation you are in, lack of COF/KOM shouldn’t lead to no expert generation…
Also nice, you can see other people typing on the forums 
Hmm, not sure exactly how to math that out. 10 days of 100% operation for the first expert, 5 days for 2 buildings, 12%(?) longer for no KOM, gaining settlers over 5 weeks. So assuming VH-241b, 4,9,16,25,37,54 settlers, so 2.5%,5.6%,10%,15%,23%,and now 37%. No COGC. Adding that gives 93% total output, minus some you would’ve got from KOM. So its taken 5 weeks to produce 85%ish what 2 full buildings could do in 5 days.
I think its simpler to say you’ll probably get the expert around the time you produce 200-240 GL. I’d say you’re on track to get the expert right away if you’re doing single orders, but if you’re doing 20x with 37% of your employees that might be a while, you won’t get the expert until completion
I’m on vacation right now, can have a look once I am back.
Update: Now I got an expert! Problem solved.
Experts only arrive at the completion of a production run and are based on how much production time was taken (based on 100% speed).
