I have not searched the forums for an answer to my question to avoid spoilers so please forgive me.
I am playing in WotR and our group is about to start book 3 which includes some part that focuses on building and organization rules from Ultimate Campaign. That's cool. I like to read. So I read the stuff over in my Ultimate Campaign book. My GM told us that we are to use the rule that says we take 10 on all of the roles to generate labor/magic/goods/influence. (I will from here forth use the term funds to talk about these.)
A few other details that are important. My character is a ranger with the leadership feat and my score is in the high teens. I am going to assume that I will have over 20 followers when we get to the part of the AP that has the build Drezen back up bit. My GM also told me that there is some goal of 60 Drezen Recovery points that will result in I don't know. My GM also gave a handout to us that discusses how many Drezen Recovery Points are earned from a few different downtime activities. We will have 60 days of downtime to complete this goal.
I looked over the skills and what not to ascertain that my character will be able to generate 2 funds per day regardless of which one I choose. Easy enough. Planning will be easy.
I plan on having my ranger build a farm during downtime. To my understanding, I will generate 1 Drezen RP (DRP) per 500 gold the building is worth. That means a farm worth 2090 gold will earn me 4 DRP. Also, I can only generate 2 funds a day. A farm will need 53 Goods, 1 Influence, & 50 Labor to be built. My ranger will need 53 days to generate the required funds for the farm at the rate of 2 per day. That will leave me a week to try and generate more.
Now for the question: With 5 players, if all of the others do twice as well as me, which I don't think is the case, that would mean that in 53 days or so we would generate roughly 36 (my 4 plus 4 x 8) DRP in those 60 days. How in the world is the goal of 60 DRP even achievable by building structures and organizations? For disclosure purposes the handout we got did say that healing people would generate 1 DRP per day. So if our cleric is willing to not participate in making anything at all (which is unfair) then the goal can be reached...
What am I misunderstanding? It seems that I must be confused on something as Paizo would not put forth a goal that is unobtainable.
I actually just finished running this section for my players. The way I did it was the city building was separate from the PC's downtime. They relayed instructions (to Irabeth or even other NPCs) on what to build freeing them to pursue other goals such as retraining or the healing you mentioned above.
