Topic: Industry bug

nt sure if this has been reported

but I was recently running a 3 cycle production line.

And I mined and placed Enough materials into my hold (as instructed by the factory)

but I noticed that the factory only told me the cost for 1 cycle. So I multiplied it by 3.

I then logged off and this morning I discovered that only 2 cycles ran.

The factory needs to calculate the total required to build all 3 cycles not just the first one because the ct degrades after each cycle but i dont have the stats for each cycle only the first.

so the bug is - the factory is not accurately calculating the cost in materials of building multiple cycles.

Re: Industry bug

The factory calculates it based on current material efficiency which declines each production run by a few percent. If you only have the exact minerals in you will always do one less programmed run than you planned for.

Re: Industry bug

so why tell us the materials needed? ... or why allow us to make multiple cycles ...

If your gonna give the functionality of running multiple cycles then also calculate the required materials.

Re: Industry bug

it cant, because the CT damage has a random factor built in, and is not linear at all.

the more cycle feature is very usefull if you consider those factors.
