What is the formula to determine the total amount oil extractable from a single node

[Glockshna]

I would like to know the formula used to determine how much oil I'll get from a node of a given yield before it reaches 10%

I've tried several different formulas based on the wiki's information but they all come out to (the same) ludicrous number that doesnt materialize in game.

Code: Select all

richness = 1000
cycles = richness * 75
output = 0
print("Cycles = " + "{:,}".format(cycles))

while cycles > 750:
    i = 75
    while i > 0:
        output += 1*richness
        i -= 1
        cycles -= 1
    richness -= 1
print("{:,}".format(output))

That is the latest script I made to calculate the total output of a node with 1000% richness. This returned 37,553,375 oil. I know for a fact this is not how much ends up coming out of the node, yet based on the numbers provided by the wiki that's how much I should be getting.

Any insight?

1. Richness is measured in %, you get 37,553,375% or 375,534 oil. This matches previous calculations.
2. In 0.13 the decay delay was increased from 75 to 150. This means twice as much oil!

derp. I knew it was something stupid.

(richness / 100) * 150

You get slightly more than twice, because the amount provided each cycle decreases by 1/150 of a % (that is, it doesn't give 150 cycles at k% and then 150 at (k-1)%, etc.) But it's close to exactly double.
