problem with compost quality
Hi,
I put material for composting (quality 46) into my quality 53 composter—I should get quality 49.5 compost. Instead I received quality 46
. I don't know what the error is, as production is proceeding correctly in other compost bins; the problem affects the bins built today using black pine.

There is no error, you put in 46, you get 46.
Now if you put 55, you get 54, composter q acts as a softcap, it does not average with the input.

Re: problem with compost quality
Where are you getting that formula from? The update that added compost bins has no mention of how the quality is calculated, and the wiki simply states that the quality of the bin soft caps the quality of the mulch. Based on the information you provided the mulch quality in the other bin does not appear to be correct either using your presumed formula.

True ... because until now all those compost bin's you used where of lower quality than the added compost.Ymma wrote:Nope, it always q material for composting +q compost bin/2
But ... with your new, and for you first, quality compost bin that has a higher quality than the compost inside it ... the rule has changed.
You can read all about it on RoB-wiki - Softcap.
