Does anyone know?

…how many power coils it takes on a refinery to get the minimum time for refining rock? I assume its not all 24 but I am not sure exactly how those work yet. I hate the 25 minutes when 11 minutes is so much more efficient. lol.

There’s a place called “Lake” that’s located in showroom under the coils section where he has every coil for 1k ea. If you need any help buying any, let me know also, I think for the fastest time you need them to be fully coiled (7200 power)

24 is the max # you can have.

[Naeah]

Oh yes, I love the lake. Also I know it’s not the full 24 because I have one refinery that I ran out of room and it doesn’t have the max (it’s at 6600) but it still does the 11 minutes 42 seconds. I suppose I could play with my existing refineries but I was hoping not to have to tear down a wall to find out. Lol.

There is a chart somewhere with amount of coils and craft time reduction. I think 14 or 15 coils would be ideal as after that time reduction is minimal

Power - Time Reduction

I spent a bit of time doing science with the power coils on my workbench. I assume the other power coils work the same. The formula for how much the construction time is reduced by power is as follows: First 100 Power For the first 100 power over the recipe requirement, the construction time is reduced by 50% (in addition to below). Each 100 power above the recipe requirement For each 100 power above the recipe requirement, INCLUDING the first 100 power, an additional bonus applies accordin…

I am using myself usually setup from 9 to 11 advanced coils on machines. It is optimal for me to pile up more machines over each other and have enough coils. I think for rock operations something like 4 to 8 is enough and it keeps mesh limit under control and lowers fixing time

Thanks for finding it for me!! Good luck on the tan!! Lol.

Thanks!! I’ll give this a shot as it seems to be the most affordable option until my marble shop becomes a little more well known.

I was considering getting my own buzz, but I never thought about this dilemma :>

8 is kind of perfect. It takes the time to 12 min 6 seconds and 9 takes it to 11 min 55 seconds. So more than 8 really isn’t useful. Thanks so much for giving me a place to start!!

-Edit- I meant 9. Apparently I miscounted. 9 is 12 min 6 seconds and 10 is 11 min 55 seconds. Lol.

For refined rock I use 4 or 5 I can’t exactly remember. But more thant that was worthless

[boundmore]

Ok, so the number of coils you would want depends on power requirement of recipes.

No Power Recipes: you will be happy with 4 advanced power coils (1200 Power), it’s diminished return after that already, but going up to 8 is still worth your while I believe.
Power Recipes: count how many advanced coils you need to cover the requirement, and then add 4 more coils to get a significant reduction in time and spark; add up to 8 with satisfying enough results
(example: if your recipe needs 1200 Power that means you need 4 advanced power coils to cover it; add 4 more for way shorter time and smaller spark cost - that’s 8 coils to be happy enough; ad aup to 8 to get some more advantage, although not as satisfying - that’s up to 12 coils for that recipe)

Thanks everyone!!
