I'm kind of a nerd (OK, a major nerd), so as I was leveling my collectors, I wrote down how much elixir/gold a collector needs to be filled with for the collection icon to appear above it's head. Here's my data:
Level 1: 1.2% (6 out of 500) 108 seconds
Level 2: 1.5% (15 out of 1000) 135 seconds
Level 3: 1.666~% (25 out of 1500) 150 seconds
Level 4: 1.6% (40 out of 2500) 180 seconds
Level 5: 0.6% (60 out of 10000) 216 seconds
Level 6: 0.5% (100 out of 20000) 277 seconds
Level 7: 0.5333~% (160 out of 30000) 360 seconds
Level 8: 0.44% (220 out of 50000) 417 seconds
Level 9: 0.4% (300 out of 75000) 491 seconds
Level 10: 0.4% (400 out of 100000) 576 seconds
Level 11: 0.333~% (500 out of 150000) 600 seconds
Unfortunately, I've never been good at the part of math where you take raw data and come up with a formula to explain it, so I'm totally stumped as to why these numbers are the way they are.
Does anyone have a clue what the formula for "when the icon appears" could be? Or any other insight into why these particular amounts end up triggering the icon's appearance?
