Work Suitability Level 10, The New Condensation Math
The suitability cap jumped from Level 4 to Level 10, and the condenser cost to hit max rank dropped hard.
Raising the Work Suitability cap from Level 4 to Level 10 fundamentally changes factory scaling. The extra levels are where the biggest efficiency gains now live.
Scaling between levels 5 and 10
Efficiency output climbs steeply across the new upper band, so a Level 10 worker massively outproduces a Level 5 one on the same station. If you optimized for the old Level 4 cap, your existing lines are leaving large gains untapped.
The cheaper condenser
The condenser was also rebalanced: the total Pal sacrifice count to reach maximum star rank dropped from 116 down to just 48 duplicate Pals. Maxing a key worker is now far more attainable, which pairs perfectly with the higher suitability ceiling.
