Mismanaged waste multiplier #5

Open DainialPadraig opened 4 years ago

DainialPadraig commented 4 years ago

Mismanaged waste percentage needs to be incorporated as a multiplier for the percentage of waste type in the Top 10 country data. This product will be the amount of a specific type of plastic recovered by the player in that country.

This data doesn't appear to be necessary as a multiplier for plastic waste recovery, since the Top 10 dataset includes the aggregate of all of the waste types recovered in a given nation. However, it might be useful to determine if follow-on scavenging missions are likely to succeed or not, since it could be used to estimate the rate of waste generation for follow-on cleanups.
