[Solved] Found a serious bug

[Ovis]

Spark is minting for 28c per unit

a SS (900) = around 35,000 coin

I went from around 700,000 coin to 1,000,000 from 8-9 million spark

Surely this is an oversight?

[Soju-VB]

Guess we would need to figure out the time and materials per spark item to see if its in line with other “spark” producing things like coal.

Edit: normally how long does it take you to “produce” 8-9 million spark? Since I assume you already had that amount established before the patch.

[Ovis]

Yeh need to figure it out, but I made this with compact peaty soil from unpowered machines with very little time investment. Whether its worth the time or not, I think minting is meant to give a base value to something, not be there to make a ton of coin

[Gorillastomp]

prettys ure it is seems crazy.

[Soju-VB]

Yeah, it for sure seems high, I just have not done any calculations on it to know “how high” I guess.

[Gorillastomp]

i have 56 millions spark should i make money from this…

Spark value

I mean, it’s fine. I didn’t do much with the gleam situation until very late in that game, long after I published the math. I’m busy at the moment but I’ll do detailed math soon. And I’ll probably farm spark as one of my main activities until this is fixed. I suppose we can wait until the “there’s no forge ingredients because everyone is farming spark for the minter” crisis. After some of these posts I’m converting a little spark in a breakable generator to test with this.Some math while I…

Its been brought up in another thread already. Math is inc.

[Ovis]

about 2.2 million coin you have right there

[Gorillastomp]

says 25,200c for 900

[Ovis]

fully coiled minter I’m using

was minting 300 per repair for 11,760 each time

[Gorillastomp]

well singles says 28c as you stated, but 900 is 25,200

[Ovis]

Thats odd too lol

[Gorillastomp]

well coiled chryso doesnt show the right value… when i mint 100 spark item it says 2,800c but give me 3,920c

[Gorillastomp]

so it’s almost 40c per spark item…

@Ovis

Spark is minting for 28c per unit

180 peat can be compacted to 25 compact peat, which produces 12500 spark. Fully coiled and guild buffed you spend 419 spark for the compacting, which results in a net spark gain of 12081 spark for 180 peat.

12081 spark mint for 12081 / 1000 * 28 * 1.4 = 474c

1 peat, therefore, is worth 474 / 180 = 2.6c

While minting gleam doors, 1 gleam block was worth 2.7c.

But mining gleam results in much more XP then mining peat and XP is, in my opinion, worth more then coin.

Edit: On the other side it’s going to devalue all other forms of minting because the “wasted” spark now has a higher value. Maybe that was their goal, increase the cost of crafting XP.

[Gorillastomp]

it’s all nice value but not wasting my time with this. Can only mint 350 at a time.

@molav

Ugh would it be wrong to capitalize on this?

I don’t think so as it’s not really that much different then gleam doors minting which was available for a year or so.

[Peyago]

You could always toss it in a shop stand for slightly less and let others burn it. I’m sure there are people that would do it for a a few c each.

Edit: I also find it not worth it to mint them. Time > Money.

[molav]

So wait, is it 40c per 1 spark item, meaning 1000 spark?

So that means if people sell these it should be for no less than 40c right?

[FlyingAces]

Before the update, I was actually thinking of selling these starting around this price anyway, so maybe it’s not as broken as we thought? I might be in the minority though.
