Unit Production Cost
Posted: Tue Apr 01, 2014 10:33 am
Sorry.. found another maths bug...
Cost of UP seems to be broken..
Curent raw - 203,584
Cost of next - 342,760,553
ok.. I get that its adjusted by top UP.. so the difference in each subsequent cost will increase by a bigger margin each time I upgrade (until I'm top UP anyway)..
Here's the costs when I buy 1 level at a time;
next level
Unit Production: 203594
Cost of next lvl: 342,794,226
Unit Production: 203604
Cost of next lvl: 342,827,901
Unit Production: 203614
Cost of next lvl: 342,861,577
so the difference in each cost is;
33,673
33,675
33,676
so the next one would be approx 33,678 (lets be safe and say 33,700)
next cost = 342,861,577
cost after that = 342,861,577 + 33,700 = 342,895,277
total = 685,756,854
but when i try to upgrade up at a multiple of 2.. it tells me this is not enough resources.
so i withdraw excess naq.. and when I upgrade 2 at once.. it takes
actual = 685,765,250
thats a difference of over 8k naq.. which again.. doesnt seem like a lot.. but thats with a multple of 2 attempted.. This would multiply if you were attempting to purchase larger bulks..
I estimated the costs of the next 3 would be;
1,028,887,905
but it was actually
1,028,943,105
- difference of 55k
Making it appear as if the cost is going to be significantly higher the more you increase your UP in one go..
I have been buying UP in batches of 1.. (which takes some time.. let me tell you)
And I know others have been doing this as well.
There seems to be a problem with the price and the link to Top UP.. so the problem probably wouldn't occur for the player with Top UP. But everyone else is affected.
Hopefuly, the link between the Top UP and UP cost will be removed (see suggestions board).. but if its not, this will need to be addressed.
Personally - I liked it when there was a discount for buying UP in bulk (although I believe that was also a bug) because saving naq for a big 999 upgrade made the first half of the game more exciting ^^
