What is wrong with Insane Time Warp?: 4/23/2024 12:05:47

After long digging I own now an insane Time Warp.
Now I made the following observation:
I tried to get Hardened Europe Huge again, I had the first 14 Hospitals at level 2 and Bronnoy at level 1.
I switched auto upgrade Hospitals (100%) on and played my time warp 2 minutes later.

I have enough money (right now still 1.7T left). I expected to see my first hospitals either at max or at beginning of level 7, but the top 3 hospitals have only reached level 5 with 88% finished! All others are maxed, as expected.

insane Time Warp is 8 hours. hospital is 2 hours per level.
lv2>3(done),lv3>4(done),lv4>5(done),lv5>6(88%)
it is around 8 hours.

every auto mechanism work once every 6 minutes while idle time or TW so some minutes are missed here.<=not sure about it

This is only true for the the default idle time of 2 hours, or for a 2 hour timewarp.

What actually happens is that the total time to warp* is divided up into 20 equal sections. For each section it first adds resources (current income per seconds * duration of section), then it runs all the auto advancements.

So if you warp 8 hours, your auto advancements only run once every 24 minutes.


* = Duration of your total timewarp (superpower counts as a single 10h warp) / however long you were afk for (limited by your max idle time).

Max idle time (42 hours) is also not the problem.
So it must be caused by the mechanism, JK_3 describes above.

Thanks for the explanation.

I need to write that down for myself to get it:

* start of hops upgrade 1->2
* 2 minutes pass until 8h TW is triggered, basically doing 20 auto actions every 24 minutes:
* trigger #00: hosps are at 2 minutes // nothing happens
* trigger #01: hops are at 26 minutes // nothing happens
* trigger #02: hosps are at 50 minutes
* trigger #03: hosps are at 74 minutes
* trigger #04: hosps are at 98 minutes
* trigger #05: hosps are at 122 minutes, so level 2 is reached and upgrade 2->3 is triggered, upgrade starts with 0 minutes
* trigger #06-#09: nothing happens
* trigger #10: 120 minutes have passed since trigger, so level 3 is reached and upgrade 3->4 is triggered
* trigger #11-#14: nothing happens
* trigger #15: 120 minutes have passed since trigger, so level 4 is reached and upgrade 4->5 is triggered
* trigger #16-#19: nothing happens, except that 96 minutes have passed, which is 80% of the current hospital upgrade to level 5

Yep, that perfectly matches with your observations. Nice!

thanks otto for your detailed writeup. The small difference in your writeup to my observation is perhaps caused by the startpoint.
I expect, that the start for the first trigger may happen much earlier, depending how far the game was in one of the 6min slots.

With regards to the Time Warp, you must remember to do it right.
It's just a jump to the left
And then a step to the right
Put your hands on your hips
You bring your knees in tight
But it's the pelvic thrust
That really drives you insane
