Warzone 2100 Forums

Warzone Guid lies about time of getting researches.
I've made more exact timings but my timings also lies...

Here is more exact time of research made by me: <see link in post below>
Accuracy of my data: plus/minus 30 secs
Also it assumes you research like robot and use infinite number of laboratories non-stop (but with pauses in 1-2 secs)

Start conditions: [no bases, 4-5 trucks], assuming all players started game from labs
Pause between each research: 2 sec (time to select next research)
Count of research facilities: infinite (is ok for team game)

Here is program which i used for calculations (windows!): my program also can be used if you want to calculate research in your own mod

Say me if you see error in my data (not tested algorythm too much)

I thought Satellite Uplink was closer to 30 min, but maybe I'm thinking of 2.3 randomness.

This is really cool, thanks (bookmarked).

I suspecting my data can contain some mistakes,
e.g. expected time of Scourge Missile is 24:37, but in real multiplayer game Scourge was researched at 27-28 minute (need test it more carefully)

I found typo in my data and now fixed it.
In previous version later researches was a bit incorrect.

See, here is real exact timings of research (no bases, infinite number of labs)

cross-platform version of ResCalc program (working with research.ini): https://github.com/crabster/warzone2100 ... er/ResCalc

Looks like the new guide is more accurate and in line with this...
