I just wasted about 750k HPD getting a log deleter to...v15
It was something like 30 tasks for 168 hours which according to the estimator should v30 at least...

I know there's a diminshing return on multiple tasks, but a 50% drop is plain wrong D:

So...make it right plz  2

Was your original file below level 10?

If so, the estimator fails if below level 10 and the version after is after level 10...


Otherwise it works pretty well...

So, so far today you killed your own robber baron and researched another level 15 log deleter...

Time to go to bed.

Yeah i started on a  0.1 because the increments are higher, bot nowhere near high enough D:

Why can't he change the code a bit to make it right, its silly really, less of an estimator and more of a "shot-in-the-dark-inator"

And yes Brok, epic fail day.  10

If you start at 0.1 V then the estimator will only give a right V based on increments blow V 10, so up to V 10 will be estimated ok.

If you want to estimate further, then use a V 10+ software so that it uses the > V 10 variables.

Thank you.

Note: Estimated version may be lower then estimated if software is below V 10.0,

Didn't see that before  13
I guess I learned the hard way...


Thanks I guess  19

based on researching a v0.1 for 168 hours x 32 processes - can you see where the old formula is going wrong ?

1: v1.0996
2: v2.015234
3: v2.853954
4: v3.622222
5: v4.325955
6: v4.970575
7: v5.561047
8: v6.101919
9: v6.597358
10: v7.05118
11: v7.466881
12: v7.847663
13: v8.196459
14: v8.515956
15: v8.808616
16: v9.076692
17: v9.32225
18: v9.547181
19: v9.753218
20: v9.941948
21: v10.114824
22: v10.282824
23: v10.450824

25: v10.786824
26: v10.954824
27: v11.122824

29: v11.458824
30: v11.626824
31: v11.794824
32: v11.962824

first set of testing completed

steps 1 - 9 all completed exactly as predicted ( didnt have hardware for all 32 to be processed singularly )

doing second test to see if all 32x168 = v11 or v15
