Potential inaccuracy with energy NGU priority #74

Open zga opened 3 years ago

zga commented 3 years ago

When comparing Ring of Way Too Much Energy and Ring of Utility, the optimizer predicted that the latter resulted in a higher energy NGU speed. I was able to falsify this prediction by manually comparing the time to completion on an NGU.

I have two theories on why this could be.

The energy NGU Gold digger provides a speed bonus, so with that active maybe something changes with the weighting. Seems unlikely as it's a single, linear factor.

Energy Power/Cap falls off as a specific NGU's difficulty increases, whereas Raw NGU speed holds its value better over time. Maybe Ring of Way Too Much Energy is faster for the first few levels, then Ring of Utility outperforms it in higher levels. Not a big deal because they're close, or maybe I'm missing something.

Did you input the correct item levels into the optimizer (right-click on the item)?

Yes, I did.
