To Change Game Speed Or Take A Placebo Where The Sun Doesn't

Is the question you should have ask but you were probably just being polite - I don't have that particular gift.

In earlier version of the game by pressing Ctrl and the + key together would increase game play, supposedly - but the increment changes from 1.0 to 1.3 to 1.5 - I frequently noticed that these numbers don't actually mean what I would naturally assumed they meant: that all aspects of the game would increase in behavior - but my trucks and factories didn't build faster.

So in Beta 9 using that key combination the increments have changed: 1.0 to 1.3 to 1.5 to 2.0 to 2.5 to 3.0 to 10.0 to 20.0 - So Game Developers, perhaps you could tell us what these numbers represent, since it isn't obviously game speed incrementation.

Well, it is obvious.
If you increase speed to 20.00, it is actually (maybe) 3.0x faster...

The increments are still capped at 1.5x. It is impossible to get up to 20x except in cheat mode, and we do not guarantee that anything in cheat mode will function correctly.

The numbers represent game speed incrementation. If build speed does not increase along with it, that is a bug and should be reported.

Please tell us what those numbers mean ---> how much they increase game speed.

Erm, well...

1.3x increases game speed to 1.3x
1.5x increases game speed to 1.5x
2.0x increases game speed to 2.0x

...do I really need to go on? o_O

It doesn't feel like that...

anything above 1.3 (or was it 1.5) and below 1.0 isn't really supported at all. The faster speeds are meant for testing.
