Thank you very much!

There is a BASETIME, which is 2400 seconds (40 minutes) for Silicon and 600 seconds (10 minutes) for Ore. Fab_size is 2 for M, and 5 for L.

Code: Select all

Basic_cycletime = rounddown( BASETIME / (Yield + 1) ) + 1 seconds
Multiplier = rounddown( 59.9 / Basic_cycletime ) + 1
Cycletime = Multiplier * Basic_cycletime
Products per cycle = Multiplier * Fab_size

Does anyone know if this applies to TC?
And where do I find the "rounddown"?

[jlehtone]

I'm relatively sure that it does apply to X3TC too, because the X3TC Complex Calculators seem to use the same formula, IIRC.

"rounddown()" is also known as "int()" or "floor()". You drop the decimal part and keep only the integer. So int(x.y) becomes x.


PS. Generally the Mods here do not like about resurrection of ancient threads. Lets see how they judge this one.

Ah cool, thanks!

Better then getting flamed for opening a new thread on an already existing topic.
