Hello, i'm a returning player and was checking the new Citadels/Engineering complexes bonuses and noticed that the ME bonus (don't know for the TE now), is not calculated as i would expect.
Namely, if i have a 10% Material Consumption reduction from a fully researched BPO and also a 1% Material Consumption Modifier from the complex, shouldn't i have 11% Material Consumption reduction in total?
From my math and what the game asks it seems that the 1% reduction from the complex is not calculated on the 100% of the material required (as with the BPO ME), but on the already reduced value from the BPO ME.
So if i have the Antimatter Reactor Unit BPO ME 0, this requires 9 Tungsten Carbide, for 10k runs it would ask for 90k Tungsten.
With 10ME and 1% bonus from the complex i would expect:
90000 * 0.89 = 80100 units
Instead i get
90000 * 0.891 = 80190 units
The 0.891 comes from 0.9, which is the factor when accounting for 10% BPO ME reduction and then 1% of that, so 0.9 - ((0.9 * 1) / 100).
Is this really as intended? |

I have another doubt for the same setup, just a different BPO, namely Electrolytic Capacitor Unit, always ME 10.
This among other things requires 1 Nanotransistor per run (even at ME 0); if i do 1000 runs with the fully researched BPO and the Azbel bonus i get 1000 Nanotransistors required... am i missing something?
ME and the Azbel bonus here don't apply..., why? Given that the material reduction should be applied on the Job not a single run? |

I know but when introducing the new ME/TE bonuses i recall them saying that they would be applied per job (so accounting all the runs) not per run.
Otherwise you wouldn't get any material reduction in other cases (for instance when it requires 2 units) with many runs. |

however, it's not possible to reduce it to less than one per run of the job.
it's in order to make sure that you can't (for example) build 10 anathemas from 9 magnate hulls.
Ok but still doesn't make much sense... I mean i'm not saying you're not correct, but it would make more sense to differentiate by type of material. Oh well... |
