Imaginary meth #141

Open rubytuesday13 opened 10 years ago

At a certain point in the game (not exactly sure what point exactly, but I'm currently grossing 6,406 batches/sec and earning $195,383/sec and having this problem), if your number of batches is at zero you will continue to earn money, thus making the batch/sec number arbitrary. Anything you can do about this?

I'm also getting this bug. I'm making $39,000 per second but my meth is at ZERO.

Hi guys, I'm not sure this is a bug, unless I'm misunderstanding.

There are two categories for generation: Gross and Net. 'Gross' are the total number of batches you are making per second. 'Net' are the number of batches you are making after your sales per second are calculated. Then there's 'stored' meth (Not labelled as 'Stored' but it's the big number).

'Net' can be a positive or negative number (Even 'zero'):

Therefore, it's entirely possible to have Zero stored batches and Zero net batches (or negative net batches) and still make money. This means you are selling the exact number of batches you are 'grossing.'

In the op's case, you are manufacturing 6,406 batches a second and selling all of them, which is why your meth STORED is zero.

If, however, you buy more distribution sites and you end up making MORE MONEY (when you shouldn't, because you're not manufacturing any more meth), THEN it's totally a bug. But that's not what I am reading from what you have described.

You're right, i finally realized how it worked. I make less when my meth making is at negative net. As soon as i cook more manually the amount i make goes way up since I'm filling all the possible orders.
