Can somebody help me?



I failed Math 101.

I'm dying for someone to explain this. When I add power I see things like 0:3 and 0:7


What does that mean?!

From what I have found it will take about 500-600 power to keep a harvester powered for a day. 0:3 is roughly about 3 hours and so on.

I'm pretty sure it's exactly 600 units per day. If you notice, 600/24=25. This is the exact amount listed for power consumption. So I'm assuming power consumption is in units/hour.

Note that this doesn't work for maintenance for some reason...

Also, it seems that for harvesting 1 KG/hour=64 units/hour. So an 80% spot with a personal harvester will give you (2.0 KG/H)*(80%)*(64 units/KG)*(24 hours/day)=2457.6 units/day

Hope this helps...

That helps tremendously.


I'm trying to put together a harvester tracking spreadsheet that can tell me when I'll run out of power and maintenance on all my harvesters, and what the cost per resource is.


Eventually, I'm hoping to have this as a component of a spreadsheet that'll use resource costs to calculate my production cost on items, and allow me to set a profit margin to determine my pricing.


This is all in the early stages, but when I get something useful, I'll post it here.
