FG: Galactic Overlord 8, Part 1

[:) Smiley]

Hmm, I guess the simple "Delete rows and shift cells up" method wasn't working properly.

Here's the data for now, I'll take a look at the GUI again tomorrow.

Orders sent, again by our crack team of ninja pirate robots... in space, backed up by sharks with freaking lasers attached to their heads... in space, and cross-checked by bureaucrats... in space, and some holdover monkeys with typewriters... in space. In fact, we're working on a new technology that will allow us to make half-monkeys-with-typewriters, half-sharks-with-freaking-lasers-attached-to-their-heads... in space.

We've got a mistake in the cost of the sixth base, should be 24, looks like they are being charged 16.

[:) Smiley]

No mistake, the surcharge starts with #7.

[Self-built bases 1 through 6 cost 16BP each.
Self-built bases 7 through 12 cost 24BP each.
Self-built bases 13 through 18 cost 32BP each and so on.

No I think they 've got it right.

base 7 starts the 24 BP charge

'Till when do we have to issue orders, Smiley?

Correct.

Bases 1-6 cost 16bp
bases 7-12 cost 24bp
etc.

[snoopy369]

Hmm, dunno what's wrong smiley , i just tested your theory on deleting rows and it should work ...

[:) Smiley]

Probably messed up the spreadsheet when deleting the first two rows moved the fill and delete buttons. I've sent you the data table.

[snoopy369]

Ohh, lol. That could be a problem.

[Spaced Cowboy]

oh, my bad....must have been from games gone by.

[Skanky Burns]

Speaking of databases, the spreadsheet would be extremely w00tly if Production was listed in the bases section. Make a column next to H and C labelled P which lists pure production (5*H + 2*C). That would be very good indeed.

Orders in.

[:) Smiley]

Is the math that hard?

[Skanky Burns]

Its just 5 times H(ome bases) + 2 times C(aptured bases). Easy as. The actual formula should look something like:

=(C3*5+D3*2)

Where C is the Homebases row, D is the Captured bases row and 3 is the line number. Next row down is 4, etc.
