The Bobwo calculator is down, antisback plug-in has died and the no-breakspace plugin doesn't install in the updated firefox.

Is there anything I can use for my harv calcs at the start of the new round ?

Re: Any calculators or plug-ins around for next round ?

hm,, let's try; 1 harvester can harvest 250 seeds. If I have 1 full acre of trees I will need .........

hell I hate this school math; anyways, how many seeds does an acre of trees produce anyways in the different seasons. Is it anywhere in the manual ??

Antisback DOES work on FF3 if you apply both the 'tweaks' as I've already mentioned on the antisback thread...

the nobreakspace plugin DOES work if you set your computer date back a few months (make it a year for arguements sake)...

Failing that, use info from the wiki, and make your own in Excel spreadsheet :)

I still have the BobwoCalc application, I do not know how accurate it is though.

Not very.

Working on new site... Kinda.. Need hosting and a new domain name... But should be sorting it...

Watch this space.

Oh and Bobwo will always be free.

1 full acre of trees = 90 harvesters
1 full acre of bush =~139 harversters
1 full acre of flowers = ~538 harvesters
1 full acre of grass =~1383 harvesters

1 harvester = 250 seeds
1 gardeners = 100 seeds/plants

1 acre of tree = 180 plants
1 acre of bush = 360 plants
1 acre of flowers = 800 plants
1 acre of grass = 1600 plants

With the above information, your brain and the windows calculator you'll do just as well than as with any of the calcs made by anyone (thats assuming my figures are correct)

Wouldn't count on those figures F0xx, they don't look correct...

Doesn't yield per acre decrease the more you get?

I think I read that in the manual somewhere, so doesnt that mean you will need a different number of harvesters per acre for different amounts of land?

I think yield increases less and less with the more land you get, maybe like a logarithmic function...and then linear?

i remeber hearing something similar as well, however we can assume that the yield per acre is not geting bigger the more acres you got, thus with the harvester figures per acre i gave few posts up should work with the higher amounts of acres as well ( it'd only mean that you end up having more harvesters than you need but better that way than the alternative)

They're not.

kinda closish... but not really there.

the numbers are observations made in this PW im partaking, not completely pulled out ot my ass, but not the absolute truth either. Unless stuff has changed in the last 8 rounds, as far as the subject at hand is considered, i should have proper numbers hauled up somewhere in some excel spreadsheet as well.

I found it! :D

http://www.bushtarion.com/manual/faq.php#116
1.16: What is exponential seed growth?
Every new acre you get produces *slightly* fewer seeds than the previous acre, meaning that as you get more acres, each acre you get produces less than the previous. It gets worse the more acres you have and slows down the growth of the highest rank holding players. There is a cut-off point where exponential seed reduction stops decreasing any more so that no matter how much land you have - extra land will always give you more seeds.

hehe its called exponential when really its inversely exponential, or logarithmic :D i think ;)

Yeah...

Later version of Bobwo take account for it.. But only website onwards, and even then it's only an educated guess.

tree im pretty sure is way off, bush sounds about right, doesnt matter about the other two really becasue you dont use them at the start.

Decaying exponential isn't a big deal because you should only really need to think too much about harvesters the first day of the round, after that having an excess really isnt that big of a deal and you dont really need to calulate it? :p

Besides, the decay is not that much at the start.
