All about the new collector level. Stats, ROI etc

[vekool]

As said by someone else earlier, your catch up point calculations are wrong though.

Time taken to upgrade = 5 days = 108 hours

Level 11 collector resource gathering rate = 3000/hr
Potential Resources lost = 3000 x 108 ...............................(1)

Level 12 collector resource gathering rate = 3500/hr

Difference = 3500 - 3000 = 500 resources extra per hour ...................(2)

Dividing (1) by (2)

3000 x 108
----------- = 6 x 108 hrs (catch up point in hours)
500

Dividing this by 24 (to get catch up point in days)

6 x 108
------- = 6 x 5 = 30 days - which is the catch up point.
24

Not sure how exactly you came to that number, here are my calculations:
Gold lost: 3000gold/hr*24hr/day*5 days= 360,000 gold lost
Re-acquisition:500 gold/hr*24hr/day*#days=360,000 gold regained
Solving gives a break-even point at 30 days, less than half of your original calculation. Not only did you neglect that you make up 500 gold per hour rather than gold per day which you used, you must have made another mistake as well because even if that quantity was used the result would be 72 days. Always check your work.

What about the 336k I'd to cough up?

That's your opinion, when you look at the big picture you're missing out on quite a lot of free loot that is effortlessly acquired when you don't have maxed collectors.

Lol I'm not missing out on free loot. I'm already upgrading all the mines that I can

What about the 336k upgrade cost?????

I'm honestly disappointed in the forumers complaining about the new mines and pumps...if you really thought the production rate was going up by 33% to 4000, then you're deluded...

You're all of the same people who were excited for these things 12 hours ago. I am astounded that there are at least two threads full of people complaining about it...

While my builders are still locked up from projects started prior to the update info, I will certainly be upgrading my mines and trying to have them done before Christmas so I can cut my "catch up time" significantly. I advise you all do the same

Ah! So you included that. Usually that is not included/

He was counting the cost of the upgrade (336000 elixir) as the equivalent lost gold. If you don't want to think of them as being equal, imagine upgrading a pump and a mine as a pair...

Who said complaining. I'm just a bit disappointed. Btw the first thing I did after the break was upgrade my mines to level 12.

i checked what you did and came up with exactly 58 days. why would you not want to iclude what the initial investment was. i would love all these guys to be my banker. cus when they get it wrong, and they will. i will run circles around then and come out with even more.
