catsRjerks Posted March 21, 2018 Share Posted March 21, 2018 I had an Oil fissure in my current game (running 260388) and I wanted to see what the average output per second was. Here are the details: Output: 394.4 g/s Eruption: 600s every 600s Active: 0.3 cycles every 0.7 cycles. I thought the average rate would be 394.4 x (0.3/0.7) = 169.02 g/s. Waited for about 7 cycles thinking I'd be getting about 169.02 x 7 x 600 = 709.89 kg oil or somewhere close to that. what I got was a total of 1315 kg oil (173.5+ 226+ 174+ 179+ 225+ 164+ 174). which is almost double the amount i expected. Am I doing something obvious, wrong? I'd also be very interested in knowing any other ways to calculate the average outputs.

FIXBUGFIXBUGFIX Posted March 21, 2018 Share Posted March 21, 2018 Since the eruption cycle of oil leak is even longer than the active cycle, I guess the eruption time might be determined by some other rules. I think the best way to deduce the rules is observing the length of eruption time and non-eruption time.

I think the best way to deduce the rules is observing the length of eruption time and non-eruption time. quite possibly, honestly didn't even think about it. but makes sense. I checked a couple other oil leaks in different maps and there were no expected results. Guess it has to be done the hard way.

Kiros Posted March 22, 2018 Share Posted March 22, 2018 Ah nevermind, it's early, didn't read the whole post. Must be a bug. Link to comment https://forums.kleientertainment.com/forums/topic/88941-help-me-check-my-math/#findComment-1018145 Share on other sites More sharing options...
FIXBUGFIXBUGFIX Posted March 22, 2018 Share Posted March 22, 2018 I did a roughly test just now. I created a oil leak with specific parameters Quote Eruption: 60s every 60s Active: 24s every 48s The only thing I can conclude is the length of break between every two eruptions is 24 seconds, matching the showing length. But the length of eruption seems randomly. If anyone would like to do a more accurate time record, here is my save file. oil leak fissure.sav 11 hours ago, catsRjerks said: Loved your gold factory btw Thank you. Though I really hope devs could fix these old bugs one day, but it seems they are always fight with new bugs.
