[edit] Description
If our citizens help out a little underground instead of tanning themselves on the beach or slaving in a cool office, we’ll get more raw materials and they’ll get less sunburn. There’s always a need for help down the mines, sawmills and vineyards.

- This research allows you to overload the amount of citizens in your island buildings
[edit] Details
Allows overloading of Saw Mill, Crystal Mine, Sulphur Pit, Quarry, and Vineyard. You can put up to 50% more people there than the place can normally hold. However, they only produce at 1/4 the rate of a skilled (regular) worker. E.G. 4 people in a Saw Mill to produce 1 more 
per hour, and 8 more people in the Vineyard to produce 1 more 
per hour.
From a financial perspective, this means that each additional piece of timber costs you 16 gold per hour, and each additional piece of Luxury Goods (

/ ) costs you 32 gold per hour as opposed to the usual trade-off of 4 gold per hour for timber and 8 gold per hour for luxury goods.
The slider bar will now include a red section to the right of the point where the "max" button takes you. The "max" is the standard maximum. To employ the extra workers, you must move the slider bar or type the desired number.
