The duration of research on the still accelerating OGame has become a real problem. Whoever can afford it pays 216k dark mater termination, because there is no choice. An alternative is platinum newtons, but you can turn on a maximum of 8 so that the price halve & finish is equal to the first option. I think there is a cheaper solution to this problem, namely employing a technocrat under different contract terms:
Let the still active Technocrat, instead of reducing the research time by 25% once, shorten the remaining time every day, always when the research is started or hired, by a fixed percentage of p%.
Someone will say "tip" because how can you make something even worse? But none of these things! The fact is, we have something like compound interest here (not quite) about a daily charge. In this solution, the countdown for us continues normally, but every day at the set time (in the definition), the p% of the remaining time is additionally subtracted from the remaining time if and only if the technocrat is active.
You will have to think about what will pay off more - a technocrat for a week - several times, or for 90 days and carrying out several researches in a row? GF will not lose dark matter from accelerations because you will have to employ a science genius all the time, and when the brain works, it does not go dumb.
I did a little analysis and came to the conclusion that 4% -5% a day would be the best.
How to determine the duration of a research with a technocrat still active? The point is as follows:
Examples:
| Technocrat discount: 5%
Research time without technocrat: 8 days Research time with technocrat: 6 days 13h 16min 57sec Research time discount percentage: 18.082% Technocrat cost in DM: 10,000 |
Technocrat discount: 5%
Research period without technocrat: 30 days Research time with technocrat: 17 days 20h 39min 25sec Research time discount percentage: 40,464% Technocrat cost in DM: 30,000 |
| Technocrat discount: 5%
Research period without technocrat: 100 days Research time with technocrat: 34 days 22h 19min 12sec Research time discount percentage: 65.070% Technocrat cost in DM: 50,000 |
Technocrat discount: 5%
Research period without technocrat: 500 days Research time with technocrat: 63 days 12h 18min 4sec Research time discount percentage: 87,297% Technocrat cost in DM: 100,000 |
| Technocrat discount: 5%
Research time without technocrat: 3000 days Research time with technocrat: 97 days 19h 28min 45sec Research time discount percentage: 96.740% Technocrat cost in DM: 120,000 |
Technocrat discount: 5%
Research time without technocrat: 10000 days Research time with technocrat: 121 days 4h 38min 13sec Research time discount percentage: 98.788% Technocrat cost in DM: 150,000 |
So that everyone interested can test different variants of the research duration due to the non-obvious formula, but also the following strategies:
- Technocrat for a limited amount of time given amount 7d and 90d;
- Technocrat all the time;
- Possibility to use the "finish" option;
- Calculation of the expenditure of dark matter in relation to the selected options.
