Seems to me like Chinese silk production is mostly off in that the north china plain should have the majority of silk producing locations in china, while right now it has 1/13. TBH I wouldn't object to something like 40 silk RGOs being added to the north china plain. India and the middle east might remain ahistorically productive with regards to silk, but at least China would have the plurality, if not majority, of silk RGOs.
The maps show nothing about the quantity of said resources. Nor the dates of extraction or effort required.
Again, number of locations is not closely connected to actual output or even potential output.
How many are in the province in question? It's in one of the most densely populated areas in the entire world so presumably hundreds of thousands?
There is sufficient data and information here #2, which once again proves that you have not read any of the information presented in this post.
Why compare production with Europe? Do you think about the per capita demand when China has a large population? Are you saying that the silk produced throughout China is only enough for Europeans to use? Even if the number of Europeans is a fraction of that of Chinese people at this time?
well the game doesnt deal with that granularity. If the outcome is that persia produces more silk than china, surely you can see that's a significant issue. That shouldn't be the design and we should suggest they change it right?
There are no figures. Just symbols on unsourced maps with writing in a language i don't understand.
Europe is the baseline which i understand. Basic resources and goods are presumably produced at a comparable rate per worker, at least up to the industrial revolution. With a few exceptions like specific deposits like some silver mines in Bolivia, Falu copper mine and so on. Crops would be climate dependant but overall comparable.
Qing maps won't be very useful for guessing what production should look like in 1337
If vic2 rgos are anything to go off, then pops in provinces matter more than number of provinces with an rgo, at least until you can max out pop growth and immigration
Why would they have a monopoly on silk? Its long since diffused even if chinese silks retained a premium in the market
My friend (#2) posted it over there before.
India did not produce tea in 1337, but they still did so. And I also provided the situation during the Ming Dynasty.
Theyll have the pops to produce enough in the east. The west has locations with the goods, but might not be able to supply enough, meaning ships are sent east.

Vicky 2 RGOs scaled based on starting population, vs here where RGO caps seem to be flat, only altered by current population, development, and technologies. It’s not impossible that silk production outside of China could be harshly penalized, thus making those 13 locations the majority of the world’s silk production, but it seems unlikely. Just looking at how things are set up currently Europe will need to import from the near east to compensate for limited native silk RGOs, which is realistic, but the Balkans, Persia, and India will be, in increasing order, the biggest producers of silk, with China either merely self sufficient or a net importer from India. Now maybe Chinese silk RGOs start out at a much higher level than everyone else’s, but the scenario I described seems probable by the mid-game, once a Balkan/persian/Indian tag starts investing in silk production to cut out the Chinese, which historically didn’t happen.
I assume that’s a lot but could you convert those into units us westerners would be more familiar with?
In modern conversion, Jin = 500g = 0.5kg, but it has changed over time.
Looks like it was 590g under the Ming and Qing. At least according to wikipedia. Regardless we're looking at around 320-420 tons of annual salt production, which sounds significant for a pre-industrial locality.
