Making Steel

[Thijssnl]

do you have anything to back this up because you're fucking wrong, shitface

So, sabinati, had a bad weekend? :/

EVERY tick matters. People who can't keep it up tend to last tick only. I'm not sure if last tick counts for more but if you do it every tick versus doing it only last tick, you WILL notice a difference.

Didn't Loftar himself say that only the last tick matters?

yea

Oh wow, that's not hostile at all. u mad?

Yes, ingame testing proves this.

You should really test something before shooting it down Mr.Derpus.

I made steel recently. I filled the crucibles full, and only refilled them when they were almost out, but I did time it right so they were at 100% temp q on the last tick. The steel turned out as good as could be expected, taking into account wrought, crucible and branch quality (I tested if branch and coal q matter while I was at it, and only branch q does).

[DatOneGuy]

Yes, loftar stated that coal q doesn't matter, and it was tested as well.

Crucible quality is fucked up, he mentioned that.

Anyways, you'd have to test it by trying to keep it close to 100% or at least making sure it doesn't go under/over a certain point, and then comparing it to one that you keep full and only finish last tick at 100%.

[Potjeh]

Are you suggesting that it's possible to push the steel *beyond* the quality of wrought, crucible and branches? Because the steel I got was roughly the average of those. I didn't bother to do proper math, but it looks like it's around that value. Since my crucible was at really crappy temp q most of the time, I should've gotten crap steel, right? Oh, and one of my crucibles ended the process with two extra branches in it, and the steel was like 20q points worse, so if all ticks do matter the last one matters a LOT more, since that crucible was at the same temp q as the others throughout the process (I accidentally added two branches too many at the end).

you honestly think i haven't tested this shit? we tested crap like this before you even heard of this game.

[Oddity]

Blacktooth told me that jorb said only the last tick matters, but I haven't found the post where jorb said this.

After a little searching

It has been a pet peeve of loftar's, yes. I haven't bothered enough to challenge him on it, but good gameplay it is not.

Also, IIRC, it's only the last tick of the oven that matters anyway (Though I could be wrong on that)

By ovens he means steel crucibles, I think.

From this thread

[loftar]

To clear up the confusion about whether only the last tick counts or not: Due to a bug in the steel crucibles, only those ticks that have occurred after the map they were on was last unloaded count.

Now my crucibles have n temp at all, is this due to the server crash? I didn't think this warranted its own thread.
