I'm using time I would be playing to create a Project Management Tool.
It calculates:
Minimum building costs
Minimum Human labor hours (Or bot hours, if you're into that...)
Minimum time spent waiting on processes (like smelting, burning bricks, etc.)
& other things
All in all, construction should be faster and more efficient than ever.
For instance, one of our walls demands 176.6 logs.
This means people must collectively chop trees for 1 Hrs 16 Mins 32 Secs.
It also shows the necessary time for Chopping Blocks, Digging Stones, and Paving, and more.
All in all, for the project described above,
Doing those actions cost a minimum of:
6 Hrs 02 Mins 16 Secs / ppl doing those actions
Unfortunately, I can't reliably calculate the cost of terraforming and the cost of moving materials around...
(I guess I could go around terraforming stretches of land to get an average... Material movement must involve some weird calculus I have no idea how to work with.)
I'd love some help or feedback as I'm pretty bad at math, so feel free to message me.
