What's the equation for figuring out how many 3X3 squares you can build with walls? Im using builder but im sure theres an easier way.
I have no idea what you mean, can you clarify?
well count how many walls there is in a 3x3 square, take the total amount of walls and divide it with the amount of walls it takes to make the square (what th lvl are you?) a th8 can build 18.75 if no walls are shared between the squares
If you make a box of 3X3 compartments (4 corners share 2 walls, sides share 3 walls, middle shares 4 walls) how many can you make.Quote:

Assuming that you are making multiple compartments that are side by side the equation would be 11n +16 where n represents the number of compartments you are making, if this isn't what you're looking for please specify in greater detail what you mean
Ah finally, thanks. So:Quote:

I'm thinking 9 compartments, 16 compartments, or somewhere in-between.
Actually the revised equation is 11n + 16 = #of walls BUTQuote:

11n + 16
=11(15) + 16 - 16 compartments minus the one, so 15
=165 + 16
=181 walls for 16 square compartments (ASSUMING THEY ARE IN A STRAIGHT LINE)
If the box compartments form a box its an all new equation I must make.
How the????? Are you all so good at maths I look at these and my head explodedQuote:

The answer depends on the overall shape of your base so it's impossible to answer as you've phrased it.
So the base will be like 69 compartments making a 3x3 square? 3 compartments by 3 compartments? I can make a formula for that.
And the math isn't that hard :P I learned it in grade 9
