When to research
The 10% package touches many economies, including Hacienda automatic Food and Coin, but the 175 Wood and 175 Coin cost is most useful when several of the named sources are active. It does not improve other output from those buildings beyond the listed gathering effects. Research through the Zapotec settlement connection and prioritize it when it will benefit current workers or passive Hacienda production.
