Field upkeep

Postby Jakov » Wed Dec 14, 2016 1:44 pm

Hello!

Recently I made few new fields. I managed to down upkeep to 50%, but it consume me 3 humus to start planting. Also, it takes 25 seeds to plant, but when I have only 25 in stock, I can't use it and need to have at least 26. Something changed, or my new fields are just bugged?

Best regards!

Its just how its calculated. The field needs a little over 25 seeds but not quite 26, so you just need to have that extra one. Just one of those things. Quite normal.

But I also have some old fields. And those can use exactly 25 seeds and also only 2 humus to prepare.

Yup, again its just how its cauculated. You could have used an extra wood coppings on the '26' field and it would get used up showing '0%' to the upkeep - its just knocking off those hidden 0.?? off the end of the calculation.

Yeah, the game uses the absolute value (chops off whatever is after the '.') in some cases and the complete decimal in others. I can ask John if having it always use the absolute value for calculations like that is worth looking in to right now. There's limited time for developing Salem atm so we try to keep it to stuff that we can get the best value for time out of.

This should be corrected now by the system rounding up on the % display.
