The Mill

The Mill helps improve the production of food in your Farms. This improvement is reflected in your Mill's window, and NOT in your Farm's window. The Formula for this improvement is as follows:
code
public function calculateIncome ()
{
$farms = $this->getVillage()->buildings->getBuildingLevelSum (10);
$mills = $this->getVillage()->buildings->getBuildingLevelSum (16);

$income = $this->INCOME * SPEED_FACTOR;

$x = 1.7 * $income * $farms * $this->getLevel ();
$y = $farms + $mills;

return floor ($x / $y);
}
/code

getBuildingLevelSum returns the sum of all levels of this building in your village.
So, if you have a level 1 and a level 2 farm, $farms will be 3.

$this->getLevel () returns the current level of the mill.

Optimal = 3 farms + 1 mill.

Re: help & guide mill

Whammy if you need a question.

Should the codes be showing this way?
And there's no back to buildings button like with the other buildings.

Btw there's an other one

Re: help & guide mill

Your buy essay village can hold a maximum amount of resources. This maximum depends on the amount of warehouses you have. When your warehouses are full, you will lose income, so always make sure you have some space left.

While raising your village, new buildings will appear in your list. Make sure you have at least a warehouse, a farm and a lumber camp and an iron mine before reading part 5 of the tutorial.


Is that buy essays suspose to be in there?

Re: help & guide mill

Mill has a complex equation for its food generation. but other buildings dont... farms, stone mines, lumber camps, iron mines, gem mines, all produce resources at a fixed rate. other buildings also dont have any equations in them
this whole help & guide was written by Daedeloth himself, not me.
Mills weren't always there, they were added to the game some time in spring 2009, you can review the changelog for that info. once Mills were added, gero3 (a player, no mod, not admin, not anything) volunteered to write the Mill page, and by popular demand, the equation of the Mill was released, and i volunteered to help gero3 and incorporate the equation in his text. unfortunately, help & guide does not recognize "code" tags like the rest of the game does, and i dont have any ability to fix that. again, i was NOT even a mod when i wrote that, i was a player, trying his best to help the game and the developer.

Re: help & guide mill

would that be buildings or levels?

newbies don't know that, nongeek newbies en dutch/german newbies have no idea what that thing says

Re: help & guide mill

it is runes invested. every 3 runes invested in farms, 1 rune invested in a mill.
a lvl 3 farm and lvl 1 mill = good
3 lvl 3 farms and lvl 3 mill = good
1 lvl 2 farm and 1 lvl 1 farm and 1 lvl 1 mill = good
3 lvl 3 farms and 1 lvl 1 mill = not optimal.
so on...

as for the equation.... how do you explain PHP to someone who doesnt know programming? :S
it can be transformed into math, but that too ain't simple, and the mathematical fomula itself isnt straighforward and will be more complex than PHP....

just that guy... remember him? didn't expect you to...

Re: help & guide mill

well... since conan likes to compare mods in other games... let's do it the other games' way...
make yourself useful.
submit a *good* mill descrption, that contains the simplified math formula, and i'll place it in the Help & Guide. and in case you never noticed... the help section in every other game is never written by developers, but rather the community.

Re: help & guide mill

isn't this close to what was asked for!
it is runes invested. every 3 runes invested in farms, 1 rune invested in a mill.
a lvl 3 farm and lvl 1 mill = good
3 lvl 3 farms and lvl 3 mill = good
1 lvl 2 farm and 1 lvl 1 farm and 1 lvl 1 mill = good
3 lvl 3 farms and 1 lvl 1 mill = not optimal.

Re: help & guide mill

Wham, there's just one problem with that.
No one, again NO ONE (newbies and experts) knows what's going on anymore, except the devs.
Mods should be close to devs.
We are asking YOU for help.
And have someone translate it, if you need to know why, go look at Nele's post.
