How to convert the value of the effect in the corresponding time??
Code: Select all
[ 'construction-robotics' ] = {
[ 'type' ] = 'technology',
[ 'name' ] = 'construction-robotics',
[ 'icon_size' ] = 256,
[ 'icon_mipmaps' ] = 4,
[ 'icon' ] = '__base__/graphics/technology/construction-robotics.png',
[ 'effects' ] = {
[ 5 ] = {
[ 'type' ] = 'ghost-time-to-live',
[ 'modifier' ] = 36288000,
},
},
[ 'prerequisites' ] = {
[ 1 ] = 'robotics',
},
[ 'unit' ] = {
[ 'count' ] = 100,
[ 'ingredients' ] = {
[ 1 ] = {
[ 1 ] = 'automation-science-pack',
[ 2 ] = 1,
},
[ 2 ] = {
[ 1 ] = 'logistic-science-pack',
[ 2 ] = 1,
},
[ 3 ] = {
[ 1 ] = 'chemical-science-pack',
[ 2 ] = 1,
},
},
[ 'time' ] = 30,
},
[ 'order' ] = 'c-k-a',
},
The time in the prototype is
Code: Select all
[ 5 ] = {
[ 'type' ] = 'ghost-time-to-live',
[ 'modifier' ] = 36288000,
},
But in the game the value is 168h
The question is: What equation is used to calculate this time?

60 updates per second * 60 seconds per minute * 60 minutes per hour * 168 hours = 36288000

(36288000/60)/3600=168
60 tick in 1 second, 3600 second in 1 hour
tick = game update
60 ups = 60 tick per second.

You might want to run that through a calculator again. 36288000 / ( 60 ^ 3 ) is 168.

I think you should check your calculation
But, this equation is fine.

Use a calculator and you will see who is right, after all it is mathematics.

You are seeing the result of the intermediate calculation (60^3 is 216000). Pressing "=" will show 168, or you need a better calculator.

The meaning of the ^ operator varies from platform to platform. Yours applies xor; you just calculated 36288000/63.

you're right
I was seeing an intermediate value.
