Help with Resource Cap Calculations Easimar Steel example

[Korda]

I'm trying to work out a crafting calculation and having some issues. Can someone tell me where I'm going wrong?

I don't understand where the Easimar Steel score of 792.30 comes from in a Deepwell Capacitor.

Steel used in a Deepwell Capacitor has this weighting: CD=66% OQ=33%

With steel, the max CD is 650, for OQ it is 1000.

Here's my (wrong) calculation based on the Stat*1000/Maximum Cap formula
OQ = 377 *1000 / 1000 = 377 * .33 = 124
CD = 915, which is over the cap of 650 so its 650, which is 100% for the CD box. 1000 * .66 = 660

124 + 660 = 784, which does not match the value shown in SWGAide of 792.30

Help me SWGAide, you're my only hope.

You need to use more digits to the right of the decimal place as 66% in decimal is pretty much .66666666  to infinity....  10 places would be enough to get the precision we need for swg.

Code Select Expand

66 / 100 = .6666666666 # adjusted CD weight snipped for brevity

normally the formula would do this if cap was 1000
(915 / 1000 * 1000) * .6666666666  = 609.9999999999 #

However this steel CD caps at 650 thus the value used should be 1000 since that is the ceiling e.g:
1000 * .6666666666 = 666.6666666

33 / 100 = .3333333333 # adjusted OQ weight snipped for brevity
377 / 1000 * 1000) * .3333333333 = 125.6666667 # this steel OQ caps at 1000

Next we simply add up the results to get rating:
666.6666666 + 125.6666667 = 792.3333327

Aha, thanks so much Mr-Miagi! I can't believe that accounted for so much disparity but it explains why the other formula I tested worked out fine.

Darned maths... I hate numbers.

Thanks again

No problem! Don't feel bad, it's happened to me as well when using my old casio calculator in a quick determination, many of these calculators when you divide 66 into 100 give a 0.66  instead of filling the display. It's misleading if one is needing more precision.
