Buff Procs

[Jewann]

Hello I ran 1 proc and 2 printers for 1 hour and realized that printers are much better currently (yes).

 

The printer made $268,520 darkrp in one hour.

 

The Processor made $74,043 in the same hour.

 

You might say "haha jewann unlucky"

 

processors produce shipments every 300 seconds, which is five minutes. an hour has 3600 seconds in it, 3600/300 = 12

 

$268,520/12 = $22,376.667 per 5 minutes, or proc shipment.

 

This means the average processor shipment would have to be $22,376.667 just to be equal with printers. Only about 5 items possible to get from processors out of the entire pool ever give this value or greater.

 

My 1 hour processor, as an example, I know there will be some variance with processors, produced an average of $74,043/12 = $6170.25 per shipment. 22376.667/6170.25 = 3.6265 so my processor was generating money 3.6265 times slower than printers. 

 

Testing method was buying and instantly turning off printers, buying all upgrades on printers, and a rack, putting both in the rack, buying all upgrades on processor, using proc once and disregarding shipment, and turning on printers at same time to have an equal starting point, constantly collecting from "give me choice" perk processor (always picking higher value item), also shutting printers off at 70C to avoid generating money at depleted rate, and turning back on at 0C. Doing this in any more efficient manner would only create a bigger gap between printers and processors. I started at 7:40, and ended at 8:40.

 

Funny note, printers state that they generate $2,660 per 50 seconds, but they were consistently containing $26,660 per processor shipment which suggests they make $2,660 per 60 seconds, and are making money slower than intended =D.

 

I know ents making money at different rates is fine, but I don't think processors should be this bad.

 

Please ask me any questions you may have

 

Buff processors please. (printers are about 4 times better, processors would need an average shipment price of $22,376.667 to keep up)

Processors have been bad for a very very long time, only way I can see them ever being better is either putting processor tokens back into tier 2s or making them easily more accessible (they'd still be just as bad though because you can buy a ton of processors now anyways and theyre still way worse than if you spent the same amount of money/time on printers), or by buffing their odds for a rarer item/higher quantity. One way I see this buff happening is well, a literal buff to the processors in general. Another way is a gang talent - a rework of the processor dominance gang talent (which no gang uses btw because there is no point wasting a gang talent on a near useless entity saving battery that can be recharged with 1 chem barrel costing you 8k) that would allow the players with the talent to have a higher chance of either receiving a larger quantity of items than 4 (capping at double, but would be rarer and you'd more commonly be receiving stacks of 6), or a significantly increased chance of receiving rarer/higher value items from the processors that you have claimed. Or both.. i really don't mind.

+1 processors are terrible I could probably make more money bitmining than I do with processors

Make it to where you can stack procs inside of each other again and make give me choice be functional while doing so (or just remove it entirely it kinda sucks for its price) and add tokens back to t2s. This lets people use different bases than the big ones, makes procs useful, and is just a lot more enjoyable.
