Title: Worker Growth Rate on Gold Accounts
Post by: DeltaSector on October 10, 2007, 02:48:52 AM
Hey Emi,

The worker growth rate for gold accounts is only half of the value listed. I have also confirmed this with other commanders, so I am fairly sure it is not just my account:

DeltaSector #77277
Phantoms #59806
(actual values left out for the safety of the commanders)

This has been mentioned in an earlier thread ...

Nothing came of it however. If it effects everyone equally I figure its just a problem with the documentation.

I think I figured it out. If Workers cost 1 credit on the main server, and 2 credits on the War server, and if worker growth rate nets you x credits worth of workers then that is why everyone is seeing only half the listed growth rate for Workers. If this is the case then the in game documentation (Growth%) needs to be reduced to reflect this. IF workers cost 2 credits ont he main server, then I have no idea what is going on ...

That very well could be right Tzarkoth. Hopefully Emi will respond quickly.

My other question about worker growth is what is the exact formula and cap? It lists the values for credits in the secret base but not for workers.  :12:

Worker Growth is completely screwed now.

Growth is still half what is listed, and now its also rounded. Not sure if it's just the Integer Value or actual rounding now though.

Will confirm, then post more info.

Thank you for following up Tzarkoth,  L:) now hopefully Sir Emi will as well. Just ran another test and it was exactly 1/2 of the listed amount. I am not sure what you mean by rounding their was no rounding on my account, the only thing I noticed is that the percentage only updates every 100 billion workers instead of when it actually should based on the number of workers.  :confused:

I did a test as well and I can also confirm that worker growth for gold account is about half of what it says it is.

Forget the rounding error I mentioned earlier, Emi was fixing a design bug around that time and I guess I was online during the update and it screwed with my readings.

I just had a thought however. Is Gold account double worker growth as opposed to non-gold account.

I'd be disappointed if my workers weren't growing twice as fast as someone without a Gold Account.

Interest and Growth rate are suppossed to be double with gold

We've already proven beyond doubt that worker growth is not working as stated

Growth is half of what is listed. For people without a Gold account, is a quarter of whats listed ?

I don't think so .............

I've checked it out following the feedback from this topic.

It seems that when the secret base value for the growth was showing 0.01% for a non-Gold and 0.02% for Gold, each on a 2 bil workers value, it was in fact giving 0.005% for non-Gold and 0.01% for the Gold accounts. I have now fixed the bug, resulting in a doubled growth for the workers.

Thank you,

Sir Emi

perhaps i should have capitalized the word suppossed but after reading your post a second time I see you meant was the bug halving the non gold accounts like it was the gold

Yeah, that is what I was driving at. But it wasn't the case, and now the percentages have been fixed also.

All is good with the world.
