Special recommendations for newspaper? Why? #71

Open ricardopetrere opened 8 years ago

ricardopetrere commented 8 years ago

As I was making pull #69 , I noticed that, at lines 414-420, inside 'calcRecommendations', there's a special treatment to newspaper, showing more than 1 unlock (3, I think). I wonder why this exists. Why specifically the newspaper investiment? PS: I think it would be nice if there was an option like "show next X unlocks", where you input a number, and it shows the next X unlocks of all investiments. I coded it locally, but didn't commit it until I understand this original behavior.

I'd guess that's because of how newspaper unlocks affect other investments. Maybe the next unlock affecting shrimp boats isn't worthwhile, but the one after that affecting hockey teams is.

Well, that indeed makes sense. It's a totally different kind of investment.

Still, was my idea a good one? I think it's good for planning ahead when to reset or (in cases such as Cashella's impossible lategame) to see if it's worthwhile to wait at the computer.
