Talk:Ore Mine
Is level 40 the maximum level? or can you go higher? Either way I think this should be explicitly noted.
- Does it really matter? by my calculations, with no miners for bonus, it would take 995 days to pay for itself, and even with a full complement of 4% miners it still would take 642 days to pay for itself so I can't see it being too popular. And that's not including the cost of crystal or the cost of power.
Could someone explain the production value equation?
It is given as " floor(30∙X∙1.1X) "
First of all, WHAT is "floor" and secondly, when I punch in a level I get numbers that are way higher than the values in the chart. For example level 20 is:
floor(30∙20∙(1.1*20))
equals "floor(13,200)"
the chart gives a value of 4036. So, "Floor" would have to be < .32 something, to bring it down to the value in the chart. All of the values given other than level 1 are WAY OFF from what I am actually seeing in the game.
The ACTUAL production values I am getting are FAR FAR Lower than the equation *or* the chart. Here is one example of my Ore mines
Colony A, Level 22 Mine with 8 mine droids, my production is 934. Chart says I should have 5,372 and the formula says 13,200 (times 'floor' whatever that is)
- Do you have sufficient energy to power your mine? You should be over 5k production, as you said. As for the equation, no idea what "floor" means, but here is a Wikipedia article if you feel like figuring it out: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Floor_and_ceiling_functions -- jessejericho 17:18, 3 March 2010 (UTC)
