Monorail: Projects Board Daily Caps (Update: Muscular Marge)

LPN for president!

Thanks for this!

Basically if you're "caught up" then you'll be allowed 4,500 additional blue prints form the board every day. Seems kind of weird but I am at 26,000 without really grinding so I guess there's no need to worry.
No matter what numbers we have to hit, these events always seem to find a way of working themselves out.

This must be glitching on me, then...because I had about 18K blueprints last night (after it capped out), and only have 23K now, and it's capped. I don't know why they're restricting it so much.

Edit: Never mind, didn't realize this was cumulative. That's.....awful. Awful.

More confirmation that the last 4 days of act one sees the cap double from 4.5K to 9K. I feel a lot better about being able to complete act one now. Still don't like that I'm spending large portions of my day with nothing to do for the vent but to wait for possums to reset but oh well.

Yeah but sucks for anyone taking a vacation or otherwise being indisposed during that period. I preferred past events where if you missed a day, regardless of which day, could make it up. With the new structure, missing a day toward the very end could be critical.

As always...thanks for you work on this stuff.

BUT......... we are getting TONS of people (including myself) who capped today at 4,500... day 3... same as day 2...

GLITCH? Is there something in the code that is keeping the logic from rolling over each day at midnight?

The cap includes what you earned yesterday, its not a new cap its just what the old one has been increased to.

The numbers above are totals. So by day 3 you will be able to do a total of 13,500 (4,500 x 3 days)

EDIT: Damn you aidx1054 , always one step ahead!

it's a cumulative total (so if you started playing today your cap would be 3*4500 today and then 4500 tomorrow once you were caught up)

what we've noted in the strategy thread is that if you get 6000 today (by picking a big task right at the end) the next day you are capped at 4500-the excess earned the prior day (or 3000)

I'm stuck at 21000. There's no way I got 13.5k bps today.
