Neither of the rates changed.


Maintence rate had it's read time fixed to a standard clock.


Power consumption had its timing changed to a standard clock as well, the bug is not that it's doubled (it's not) the bug is that the clock reads double the actual consumption amount.


Repeat there has been no change to either the maintence or the power useage just changes to how they are reported.

So what does that mean for power? If I put 10k in power into a medium and it tells me it is going to run out in 4 days does that mean it actually has 8 days?


You said "the bug is that the clock reads double the actual consumption amount."


To me that sounds like it is showing that it is consuming twice the actual amount it really is. But when I have a 100 power consumption harvester and put in 2500 power it says 1 day and 1 hour. That seems to be correct.


Previously it was 50 per half hour so in theory it is using the same but it seems like I am getting much less power than I was before.

I wish I could answer with more confdence, but I beleive they are correct.


I think it is lasting twice as long as it says it is.

I haven't personally tested it by watching it and doing the math only by seeing the amount of power I have each day and noting that I'm not using nearly as much power as the timer would indicate that I should be using. If power was actually doubled all of my harvesters would currently be running on vapors and yet they all have enough power to continue for at least one more day at the original rate


Others have tested it and come to the same conclusion that I have that the clock is reading incorrectly.

Sad, but true. The Devs have forced me to take down all of my harvesters, I am not able to continue paying over 3k a day in maintenance for one heavy harvester and close to 4k daily in power usage. I am a new master who started 3 days after launch, I basically only sell furniture and houses.


Recently sales have been VERY VERY slow, so my bank account is shrinking very fast, and the only other option is running delivery missions for HOURS at a time which to me is TOTALY boring, not fun...would rather watch a movie than play than run delivery missions.


In closing, DEVS PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE return our harvester maintenance and power usage to it's previous code. All you are doing with this is running us all out of business, and resource prices into the ceiling.
