Adjusting WA etic/wfc reduction parameters / variable code

Variable to amend: reduction rate

Parameter to amend: reduction rate

yuantian0204 commented 1 week ago

We need to adjust the variable code to remove the out-dated hard-coded reduction rate; we can create new parameters for the production rate. Here is a summary of the WA wfc reduction rules https://docs.google.com/document/d/1lzz46uR-Atcj3oPWC870D6QfC9Hf_O96SeuDHPmkpSo/edit

We also need to update the parameters code to include more child count situations.
