Question about portals

cagian · 2019-04-23T18:50:07.350Z

If the distance is 21 blink secs between planets, how many conduits are required, please?

I’ve tried looking, but there’s a ton of outdated info and it’s hurting my head!

Is the conduit requirement for both? so if I do a 2x2 on one planet and a 2x2 on another that’s 8? Or is the requirement only for one side?

I can’t check myself, but I think this link may help you.

Is it right that I could open a 5x5 on the same world and it would still drain as much as a 1x2?

thats false, the size of the portal determintes the fuelcost
So if you open a 5x5 portal, no matter where it leads too, it still cost the 5x5 fuel and fuelupkeep

Damn, that’s lame.

Thanks for the info!

We have the blinksec spreadsheet pinned in the discord info channel, I think we need the conduit conversion though

Anyone know if there is there a formula for the blink sec to conduit requirement conversion?

Simoyd posted it above already

Simoyd FTW. I was just curious to the underlying formula plotted in that chart.

That spreadsheet is missing several newer planets. There’s a newer one pinned in the [PS] Discord (though it, too, is still missing Trung and Dzassak.)

Might I interest you with an updated chart?

Or maybe even a chart with the conduit counts between planets?

edit: I see a graphical bug in the bottom one, will have to fix it
edit2: fixed

edit3: oort shards between planets

Thought the new one was in rotation

Hazzah! Thank you

@Trickyy90 there’s also the version on this post. Guess you missed it before asking your question

I didn’t see this thread at all, thanks!

TameJames:

I was just curious to the underlying formula

It’s not a formula. The values are pulled from various arrays in the game config files. Each value is explicitly defined, not calculated from other values.
