Number of ticks to finish a job or reaction?
« on: September 11, 2015, 09:40:04 am »
Is there any information, how many ticks it takes to move a square, cook food, craft something, smelt metals etc? As i understand, it somehow depends on a skill level (and maybe attribute too), and either number of reagents, or a number of products, but other than that, i can't seem to find anything specific.

Yep, the time needed to do everything depends on many factors.

- to move a tile it considers attributes and the weight of things worn or carried
- to build something again attributes, skills and the dimension of the building (a 10x10 road takes longer to build than a 3x3)
- to make a reaction it considers attributes, skill, number of reagents and IIRC some job has a multiplier to the time needed,  like strand extraction.

Sadly I don't know the exact equation, and I don't remember if actually anyone has ever calculated it.
