Wasted IC
Wasted Industrial Capacity represents the amount of IC you have allocated over the actual amounted needed for the Production Slider , Reinforcements Slider , and Upgrades Slider . For example, if your production queue requires 100 IC to run at full capacity, and you have allocated 103 IC with the Production Slider, you will have 3 Wasted IC.
Allocating amounts over that needed in the Consumer Goods Slider and Supplies Slider results in gaining extra money or supplies. These IC are not considered wasted.
You may always see the amount of wasted IC you have at the upper right corner of the screen.
