Oh son of a gun... I wish you didn't show me that :/

Makes you depressed huh?



Science System COST and Geologist



BEFORE you invest books into your GEO. Think again!!


Considering how the cost will be going up as you make more books. It will be VERY expensive to upgrade/talent your 2nd Geo.

You might want to think twice before you even decide to upgrade your first Geo. And especially your 2nd.
Why?

Since the Science System bookbinder will be used for upgrading your General, Explorer and Island later, you will be paying a very very expensive price later when they're introduced.




Notice the materials and gold cost going up every 10 books you make.
And considering the next tier of books uses the first tier. you can easily do the math and realize that you need to make 2x as many manuscripts for the codex (last tier book).

1m (x10)
1m->1t (x10)
1m->1t->1c (x10 or x11 if you plan to spend the codex on the last tier node)
You need about 31 manuscript for one geo.

Now if you keep upgrading your 2nd geo, that cost will go up significantly because you'll need to produce TWICE as many manuscript for the tome. since the tome consumes 2manuscript as part of the cost. (after 20).

If you upgrade more geo. and the explorers or general comes out needing a full upgrade. You're going to be paying a fat fat price.
The codex will end up needing 2 tomes to consume as cost, thus you're going to need 4 times as many manuscript just to use 1 codex at that point.
You do the math. It's exponential in cost. since the manuscript goes up in cost every 10 books, its going to be crazy expensive!!

I hope BB has a cap limit the cost. Otherwise those who use the books on geos now are going to get screwed majorly later.

Nope! ROFL! XD

Diminishing returns.

It's a good concept but giving us the geologist tree first is just mean-spirited.

Oh no you didn't! Where was this in the patch notes!? Did it say it would work like this!? I'm furious!

This is HOW BB/UBI OP. like putting up crisis events right before holiday events and such. Cause the player base to spend a lot fo resources and stuff for the out of the gate shiny new stuff. Then hits you with stuff that costs and takes longer so you will want to spend money to buy gems. How else are they going to make thier money?

Does BB have anyone who understands sales and marketing? They must be all gone to other games.

[Ashlinn]

Ya, I'm not impressed with this increasing mat cost at all. Another total waste of time and mats. Good job BB, /clap /clap
