Lab Science Pack usage rate

Post by Mr. Tact »

I have 60 labs, with 250% speed increase from efficiency research. Which by my calculations means during a 1 science pack per 60 second research I should use up 150 science packs per minute. Yet I had to up my science pack production to 200 per minute to keep up. What am I overlooking?

If that is a 250% speed increase, then the labs effective rate is 100 + 250 = 350% of base speed. So 60 x 3.5 = 210 flask per minute.
