Engineering Department Overview
- The Engineering Department is in charge of upgrade projects and assists Facilities with more advanced construction and planning technical designs. It's led by Jake.
- In addition, they are in charge of the Power and Water distribution in HQ, so the more Engineering staff HQ has, the more Power and Water can be used each day by HQ for various projects.
- The Engineering Department uses the combined Perception of its staff to determine how much work it can do each day. Engineering energy equals their combined Perception stat.
- As with other departments, Administration policies may help improve the Engineering productivity.
