Professor Onestone's Theory of Subterranean Tiers and Dino Productivity Boosts

Why do some habitats give dinos a greater productivity boost than others? Until now, no theory has ever been advanced to explain this great mystery. Professor Onestone of the DinoFusion Research Center has just completed his first paper on this topic entitled:

"Subterranean Habitat Tiers and Dino Productivity Boosts"

Unseen to most villagers, is a vast subterranean world of saurian industry and commerce.

The only exception is Tier 0 habitats, which as the zero indicates have no subterranean workshops or hidden work chambers. If a desert dino, works in a tier0 desert habitat it gets the standard 10% boost, because this is its natural environment. It is comfortable and works at optimum efficiency.

Tier1 habitats have a single subsurface layer or tier hidden and unseen beneath the habitat. Here extra rations of high nutrition food are stored, boosting the dinos' productivity by an extra 10%, for a total boost of 20%.

Tier2 habitats have two subteranean layers or tiers. In addition to the subterranean reserves of high nutritution food, a second layer contains repair shops and replacement tools, further boosting the dinos' productivity by another 10%, leading to a total boost of 30%.

Finally Tier3 habitats have three unseen subterranean layers or tiers. In addition to the subterranean reserves of high nutritution food, and the repair shops, there is a third basement stratum housing a gym, medical office and dino daycare center. The healthy, happy dinos in these progressive habitats are the best workers of all, producing 40% more efficiently than in a mismatched habitat.

Professor Onestone is confident his theory of subterranen tiers, hidden and unseen beneath each habitat,  can explain all the mysterious data relating to dino productivity boosts.
