So far admins have given out 125 workers so far.
The boost bar thing may be a good suggestion
But accounting that 125 workers have been given out over 4 occasions
Tick 28 (50 workers), 72 (25 workers) 113 (25 workers) 123 (25 workers)
But mass boosts have happened at each of the following ticks
1 2 4 15 25 27 28 34 49 52 58 71 72 76 84 96 101 109 122
And after the 7th mass boost the remaining 11 have all been 6k metal and oil to everyone.
Over all to make up for it maybe a frequent worker give out for 100 ticks then do the mass boost bar set off for like 15-25 workers everytime it goes off. Maybe give out workers depending on how quickly it goes off.
