Highest Qualities

[Guest]

I made the calculation tool self:

You can simply test entering rc sizes and qualities

Helpfull but, it is for two RCs not three.

Nooo, you can add as much as you want.
for example: 20,20,20 or 1000,1500,2000,4000,9000

I see. I will have to study that a little later when I have more time.

Very nice tool. It's definitely a keeper for the Guide to Guides =)

You might want to add your example of "20,20,20 or 1000,1500,2000,4000,9000" directly on the webpage though. I first thought it was for "only" 2 RCs as well (which is still one more than Kapitools can manage).

Ok the main idea was to compare different strategies (2RC, 3RC, 4RC..9RC???)... different starting sizes, different starting qualities, having some creativity its possible to optimize research

REally impressive little tool. I don't currently use this system but after putting in a few numbers it's easy to see this is the way to get to the high Q levels.

Thats a nice little tool, must for stickys. And keep buying my steel

[Guest]

what a great tool. i was just playing with it and it told me it would take 9months to get my research to the desired level. and then it hit me i spend too much time on this game.

[Guest]

Yeah I was thinking the same.... Takes so long to get to the big goal of a 127 research lol.

[Guest]

wow nice calc it helps our lazy butts very much

[Guest]

here's a scary 1. i have q32 oil research with a 2800m rc and to get to 127 it will take 21 years without any further expansion.

[Guest]

At max,

A 20m2 Rc in green area takes 1376346 days, 15 hours OR 3770.8 years to get to 127.

Thats a hell lot of time...

very nice tool, very help full


only thing i find a little bit negative : costs seems misleading ^^

mayby you can add something for the stone/steel/wood prices box so we can get a really good view on the expanding costs each step


grtz & thx for sharing the tool

yes, costs is only for research (no materials and building expansion costs)... and only for RC in red. maybe later i improve it.

EDIT: by the way, 2RC means you need 96 sqm to expand per day, 3RC means 96*2 sqm to expand per day, etc. you can calculate building cost your self very easy

Agreed, its a great research tool. I also recently upgraded to 2 RCs for my primary product (plastic research q48) and it helps a lot.

For Azer: to understand how more RCs help, here's how I look at it. If you have 1 RC, it will spend half its time researching and half expanding. If you have 2 RCs, 1 will always be expanding and the other researching, but each RC will still spend 1/2 its life expanding and you have doubled your output. If you have 3 RCs, each RC will spend 2/3 its life expanding. 4 RC's and each will spend 3/4 of its life expanding. See the pattern? You will always only have 1 RC researching, but the more RCs you have, the more time each has to expand without having to stop and actually do research. As you can see though, the returns diminish quickly.

My guess is that you don't need 2 RCs until you hit at least entrepreneur and not 3 RCs until at least billionaire (and then only because you have the money to throw around).

while on the research topic could i ask to is it profitable to have research as your main bussines ?
