Production Time

Post by Guest » 18.03.2007, 07:36

I think this is the best place to post this query/suggestion, and if I am not mistaken this had been brought up before (could not find the previous post) hence this new one. If there is do delete this one :)

The production time in seconds is off about 5~7% (at my size of 50m2) compare to the calculation (which i recently figure out) of production completed per hr. Since all this while i have an excel sheet to estimate how long I take, I guess I have to re-evaluate it. I am certain the % will run off even more when the production capability grows, and hardly affects the smaller ones, BUT

Suggestion: Since calculation of production time is based on the figure given of X unit/hr why not just erase/delete all the production of Y unit/sec? I don't think there is people out there will look at how much they can pull out for 15 seconds right?

well, im pretty sure that when increasing a buildings size, it loses JUST a little bit of production value ... for instance, if u can produce 10 units of something with 20m, in theory u should be producing 20 units with 40m ... but u produce around 38 or so. also, if u leveled up in between the time it was expanding; when u level up, ur production rates go down slightly.

Yes correct it will, by a lot actually. But none the least, my point was, the variation in % if calculation done by unit/seconds when the quantity of production is high (~5000) it already has an impact of ~ an hr (calculation vs. reality).

So my suggestion was, since the calculation of production time is based on the production/hr and not by production/second, those figures might as well be omitted.

what are you talking about?

Items are calculated in seconds too, like power.

I usually just use the units per hour figure that is displayed to figure how many I want to make.

Klasanov, in the production time, there are two sets of time indication.

One is production unit/sec the other unit/hr.

I (after so long) had just notice that the production rate is calculated by unit/hr. So if one were to follow the unit/sec it will be off (~7% for 24 hrs production in a 5E:50m2 area) in determining the total production time. So since this is the case, i was suggesting that the production in terms of unit/sec is taken off.

Oh.

I see.

Yeah dunno.
