Is there a maximum for coils, craft time redution?

[Ulfric]

Or to better construct a question: Will i get lower crafting time for items infinitely if i get more coils?

[Soju-VB]

Max coils per machine is 24, but I am not 100% sure on the threshold for lowering crafting times.

[Ulfric]

Ye i knew about amount, but i think you can maybe, idk i was too lazy to check that out and test it

[Soju-VB]

It may also depend on whats being crafted, I am sure someone has done the tests

After 12 or 13 of them the decrease in everything is insignificant iirc. But someone did do a table of sorts on it. Think it was @Simoyd or @Vansten. Tho I could be wrong on who did it.

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…

Pretty sure after 12-16 coils it lowers the time by 1 minute then to seconds once you get close to 24ish.

Yup that’s the one. Thanks for doing the digging.

Power vs Spark Question (for a Boundless Pro to answer)

I only own advanced coils, so I can’t confirm how much per 100 power, only per 300 power. I have a table (percentage in relation to the 0 coil cost) for the refined titanium mass craft example: Adv. Coils % of Total Time (seconds) Spark 0 100.00% 3000 20000 1 76.62% 2298 15323 2 69.69% 2090 13938 3 64.05% 1921 12809 4 59.51% 1785 11902 5 55.94% 1678 11187 6 53.17% 1595 10633 7 51.08% 1532 10216 8 49.55% 1486 9909 9 48.47% 1453 9693 10 47.73% 1431 9546 11 47.26% 14…

Thanks a lot

Huh. So after 12 it doesn’t really do much then. Maybe I’ll split some of my coils up now. I have them stacked 15-16 per machine currently which is definitely a waste.

[Ulfric]

Just did that too hahahah

[Mayumichi]

Keep in mind the time reduction only counts extra coils after the power requirement is met. So high power recipes require more coils to get the same time reduction as lower power recipes.

[Cuetzpalomitl]

I only use 14 coils per machine

[Krollbar]

Maybe do one fully powered machine for things with high requirements, and the rest do 12-14 coils. Think I may do that.

I just feel compelled to use 24 coils even though there’s no benefit lol.

@Krollbar

I just feel compelled to use 24 coils even though there’s no benefit lol.

I have this mental condition too

However, if you craft something power-hungry, time and spark reduction starts after 8-10 coils, so having 24 is really nice then.

Over the period of adding coils to my machines, I did use the rule of less coils per machine (based on diminished return).
First I made sure all machines reach 8 coils; than I was adding coils up to 12 per machine and then 16 and eventually up to 24. Idea was to always have kinda evenly powered machines in a process of acquiring coils over time.
