This is a followup to the D&D.Sci post I made ten days ago; if you haven’t already read it, you should do so now before spoiling yourself.

Here is the web interactive I built to let you evaluate your solution; below is an explanation of the rules used to generate the dataset (my full generation code is available here, in case you’re curious about details I omitted). You’ll probably want to test your answer before reading any further.

Ruleset

By default, a ZPPG will produce 100% of Standard Output; however, various phenomena will affect this, usually for the worse. Each phenomenon multiplies the expected output by a given quantity; these multipliers are applied cumulatively.

Actual output is expected output multiplied by N(1, 0.0057); a negligible randomness nudging guesses off by half a percentage point.

Coordinates

Longitude

ZPPG output is greatest when Longitude=52.46, and decreases as you move away from that angle.

Latitude

ZPPG output decreases by sharply when Latitude is within 36 degrees of the equator.

Shortitude

ZPPG output decreases slightly when Shortitude>45 degrees.

Deltitude

Deltitude has absolutely no effect on anything.

Smells

Somewhat weird smells greatly decrease expected output; extremely weird smells only decrease it by ~6%.

Tastes

Bizarre-tasting air is to be expected on the SuperHyperSphere: air with no taste suggests one of the cleverer native lifeforms is trying to lure you to build there so it can siphon power. (Conversely, burning air suggests the presence of a dimensional distortion which actually helps ZPPG performance.)

Feng Shui

ZPPGs work better in places with good Feng Shui.

Sounds

Sounds are always bad news: they mean native lifeforms are present and will impair a ZPPG built on that site.

(There is one apparent exception, Otherworldly Skittering; this is because the Multiversal Spiders who cause this noise reliably rid the area of the more damaging Time Flies and their Unnatural Buzzing; however, Silence is still preferable to every sound.)

Pi

ZPPGs function optimally when Pi=3.15; moving away from that optimum decreases ZPPG effectiveness linearly.

Murphy

ZPPGs function optimally when M=0; increasing from that optimum decreases ZPPG effectiveness cubically.

Strategy

There are 40 sites in cleared_sites_data.csv which have >100% of Standard Output, and the tiny amount of randomness between explanatory and dependent variables means that it’s poss...
