The formula used to compute the energy lost to Inefficiency by a base is:
Inefficiency = (Energy * Distance / (64 - ((4 - Efficiency)) * 8))
Energy | Amount of energy produced by base this turn.
Distsance | Distance from
Headquarters base (16 if no HQ).
Efficiency | Social Engineering EFFICIENCY (+2 if
Children's Creche.
* IF denominator reaches zero, ALL energy is lost to inefficiency.
