Research diminishing formulae for next round:
For each V 1 in version, decrease research efficiency by 0.0005 up to minimum of 0.001 increase / hour.
Examples:
Res a V 1.0 for 100 hours => V 1.55
Res a V 2.0 for 100 hours => V 2.5
Res a V 5.0 for 100 hours => V 5.35
Res a V 10.0 for 100 hours => V 10.1
This means the research gets diminishing returns for each hour until it reaches V10.
At V10 research only gets 0.001 version per hour.
Ok well I started doing some research on this update so I could provide HARD data on how broken it really is based on what you posted Titam.
I did 20 1 hour researches and I completed each one individually to allow me to track the version increase.
Base file was a Log Deleter V0.1
At the end of 20 hours of research said file is
Log Deleter V0.218435
This equates out to roughly a pattern thus far that follows this. (There is 1 point where the decreased amount was less than others)
1 hour
.005950 increase which is suppose to be a .006 increase
20 hour
.005894 increase which comes out to roughly .000003 decreased amount research per hour over the previous hour.
I still have to do the same work on .2-.5 Log Deleter's to see just how screwed up it is but I will do those once I take the current Log Deleter up to V11 to verify the rest of your info Titam.
I really wish I didn't have to use my own AP and HPD to beta test your "features" especially being as I am a 60gb Gold member. But such is the nature of
this game.
I will come up with a calculator later on once I do enough testing. It will be in Excel 2007 so those who are using older versions may not be able to use it depending on how large the equation ends up being.
