Production Times

i was just looking at the production times and lets take seeds for example my production time is 4 secs per unit however it says that i can produce 742.57 per hour however in one hour their is 3600 seconds which when you do the math works out to 900 per hour i wonder if their is a reason for that.

I think it is just an issue of precision. The time to make 1 unit is truncated (not rounded apparently) to the nearest second. So the units per hour actually has a higher level of precision. In your case, if you take 3600 / 742.57 = 4.848 seconds per unit; this was just truncated to 4 seconds. So in the future, if the exact number is important to you, the units/hour gives a much higher precision, especially for fast production times.

ah ok cool it was just i am making a few spread sheets to help streamline my production and i entered that i wanted to make 1000 units and the time was less the what was given when i actually produced 1000 lol ill have to edit my formulas
