Woot Power Calculations And Configuration

Tracing

To enable the power calculation debug:

/woot dev debug powercalc

To disable the power calculation debug:

/woot dev debug !powercalc

Configuration

There are various configuration values that can be changed. These can be set on a global basis or configuration on a per-mob basis.

Global values are set in woot.cfg.

Per-mob values are set in factory_config.json.

Calculation

There are three parts that go into the power calculation:

• The power cost of running the factory
• The power cost of running the upgrades
• The power cost of spawning the mobs

How fast you are spawning the mobs will determing the power cost per tick. The faster you want to spawn, the higher the power cost per tick.

Spawn ticks is the base number of ticks that it will take to spawn the mob. For example this default to 320 ticks, but the Ender Dragon value is set to 12000. This is used for the power cost calculation. The rate upgrade is only applied after the power costs calculation is finished.

Factory Power Cost (factoryCost)

factoryCost = power per tick for the tier * spawn ticks

Upgrade Power Cost (upgradeCost)

for each upgrade upgradeCost += power per tick for the upgrade * spawn ticks

The efficiency upgrade has no power cost.

Mob Power Cost (mobCost)

Each extra mob that is generated by the mass upgrade increases the power cost of the factory. This scales in various ways depending on that mob configuration.

• linear - each extra mob costs the same as the last
• base2 - each extra mob costs two times that of the last
• base3 - each extra mob costs three times that of the last

Example 1: Blaze 6400RF for each mob (Rate 0-320 ticks, 3-80 ticks)

f(x)	Mass	RF/tick	@Rate III RF/tick
linear	1	260	2000
linear	2	360	3000
linear	4	400	3200
linear	6	440	3400

Example 2: Wither 600000RF for each mob (Rate 0-1200 ticks, 3-300 ticks)

f(x)	Mass	RF/tick	@Rate III RF/tick
base2	1	820	4200
base2	2	1900	9200
base2	3	3900	17200
base2	4	7900	33200

As the mob cost gets larger, applying a mass upgrade can get very expensive on a per tick basis. It can get disgustingly expensive when you combine it with a rate upgrade.

Final Calculation

TotalPower = factoryCost + upgradeCost

TotalPower -= efficiency upgrade saving percentage

FinalSpawnTick = spawn ticks - rate upgrade

Power Per Tick = TotalPower/FinalSpawnTick
