Hi.
Can someone explain me something...
I have...
Production:
6 cooking plants level III
Consumption:
2 bronze weaponsmith level III
4 copper smelters level III
1 iron smelter level II
1 iron weaponsmith level I
Howcome my balance in coal is negative?
Because you're using more coal than you're producing.
Dude, stop with that.
If you want to help, thank you....if not, shut up.
His right, your producing 18 coal every 3 minutes (not including travel time). I believe the Iron weaponsmith alone uses 16 coal, go ahead and calculate your input/output.Quote:

And here is the info needed:

Look out for "Production chains", there you will find the information, how many producers you need for processing buildings.
Thanks but i already looked into the productions chains. That doesn't help me because i'm not using them (not in a linear way, at least).
I have done some math and it seems i should have a surplus. However, what happens is the opposite.
That's why i asked for help with this because i could be doing the math wrong.
Not all the building take the same time in producing or consuming resources. Thus, the calculation is not linear.
This is how i did it:
---> cooking plant (level 3) produces 3 coal in 3 minutes, which means 60 coal per hour.
As i have 6, it will produce 360 coal per hour.
---> bronze weaponsmith (level 3) consumes 6 coal in 6 minutes, which means 60 coal per hour.
As i have 2, it will consume 120 coal per hour.
---> copper smelter (level 3) consumes 3 coal in 6 minutes, which means 30 coal per hour.
As i have 4, it will consume 120 coal per hour.
---> iron smelter (level 2) consumes 12 coal in 12 minutes, which means 60 coal per hour.
As i have 1, it will consume 60 coal per hour.
---> iron weaponsmith (level 1) consumes 8 coal in 12 minutes, which means 40 coal per hour.
As i have 1, it will consume 40 coal per hour.
All added up, i should have a balance of: 360-120-120-60-40=20 per hour.
So, instead of keep talking rubbish, can someone please bother to check and help me?
wow you ask for help then slate the ppl who try get the chip off your shoulder or shut up and sort the problem urself but i notice you only include the build time you havent included the total time including tarvel time for each building which can add minutes to your tiotal times and push you into the negative

I know i havent included the travelling times, but it was on purpose. I know they can have a high influence in the total time, but for the example given, they are irrelevant.
Now PLEASE, for all the people that which to help FOR REAL, try to focus on the main issue, and not on secondary quarrels. Thank you.
Nobody has yet countered my calculations...so, are they wrong?
