Electronic circuit ratio problem for purple potion #225

Open GeneralBouLi opened 3 years ago

GeneralBouLi commented 3 years ago

Hi,

The electronic circuit ratio with copper cable is 2 electronic circuit for 3 copper cable assembling machine. With my friend we want produce 150 purple potions/minute and we see we need 8 + 1/3 electronic circuit assembling machine but only 19 + 1/6 copper cable assembling machine.

We the ratio 2/3 we need 25 copper cable assembling machine and not 19+1/6.

I don't know how it's calculate and I don't see settings to modify the result but I think the calculator made a mistake.

Bye.

The calculator is correct.

For the 8 + 1/3 electronic circuit machines you need 3/2*(8 + 1/3) = 12 + 1/2 copper cable assembling machines (not 25 as you suggest)

For the 40 advanced circuit machines, you need ANOTHER 6 + 2/3 copper cable assembling machines

12 + 1/2 + 6 + 2/3 = 19 + 1/6 (as calculated)
