Fusion Reactor Equation [SOLVED]
Posted: Wed Oct 19, 2011 11:53 pm
According to the in-game menu, the following equation is how you work out how much energy each Fusion Reactor will generate:
30 * [Level Fusion Plant] * (1,05 + [Level Energy Technology] * 0,01) ^ [Level Fusion Plant]
Okay so copy and paste that equation into notepad and save it to you desktop. Now right click the file you just saved and click delete. Empty your recycle bin just to be on the safe side. (Feel free to print it out first, then set fire to it - You should then urinate on the ashes just to be safe)
Now that you know what i think of the above gobbledy-gook, take a look at my equation below. It is about 99% accurate and will get you to +/- 1 of the actual answer.
Where a = Fusion Reactor Level
and b = Energy Tech Level
6 * 30 * a * (1.05 + b * 0.01) ^ a
Note:
* = Multiply
+ = Add
^ = To the power of (i.e 2 ^ 3 = 2 * 2 * 2 = 8)
Don't forget to equate the brackets before you proceed to a linear equation. For example lets say you want to work out the energy output of a level 10 Reactor with Energy Tech Level 8:
First replace the a's and b's so you have
6 * 30 * 10 * (1.05 + 8 * 0.01) ^ 10
Secondly equate the brackets
1.05 + 8 * 0.01 = 1.13
Now you have the following linear equation
6 * 30 * 10 * 1.13 ^ 10 = 6110.2
P.S I believe the reason i needed to multiply the formula by 6 is due to the game speed of the particular server you are in (i play in speed - which by my own calculations i assume is 6 x game speed, i'm unsure) so try adjusting the formula for your own universe/server. It would be appreciated if someone can confirm this for me.
