Add option to build Time Impedance as needed #108

Open hickeys opened 2 years ago

hickeys commented 2 years ago

For example, build first copy at year 40,000. build Nth copy at year 40000 + (N-1 * temporal penalty delay)

New features are unlikely to be implemented any time soon. I don't even know what Time Impedance is :D

In Dark Future, the cost to combust a time crystal increases by 1% for each 1,000 years. That is, skipping a year costs 1TC in year 40,000, 1.01 TC in Year 41,000, 1.02 TC in year 42,000, etc (might be off by one)

Time Impedance delays the cost increase by 1,000 years per Impedance. That is, with 5 TIs, skipping a year costs 1TC in year 45,000, 1.01 TC in year 46,000, etc.

It would be nice to turn on TI and have it only buy as many as needed based on the current year.

I would have to investigate this in an appropriate savegame to understand the situation better. Now that I read your description, I feel like I was dealing with this in another lategame savegame, which I haven't played in a while.

This sounds like it could be simple enough to be added, but not in the near future.
