As promised, here's my spreadsheet,

http://academic.algonquincollege.com/students/suth0056/ogame/ogame.xls

Basic instructions:

On the resources page of ogame, press ctrl+a, then ctrl+c to copy all the text.

Switch to the second sheet in the spreadsheet, put your cursor in cell B2 and press ctrl+v to paste the data in.

This automatically grabs your mineral stockpiles and income for the calculator on the first sheet.

To use the calculator, you need to plug in the resources required for whatever upgrade or tech you want next, it then spits out how long it will take (in h:mm format) as well as what your stockpiles will be after you start the project.

The 'next income' cells are left blank in case you're going to build an upgrade that changes your income. It'd be nice to have them automatically update based on the first cells, but still be changeable, and if no value is entered then use the value of the first cells, but I don't know how to do it.

Total time is how long it will take to aquire the resources to complete all the projects, not how long it will take to build.

ACK!

Damn, I was going to build a cruiser today.

At least it was not work blocked...which is alway a suspect.

I wonder if we'll lose interest and become a bunch of (iI)

Another stupid question: What exactly do Robotic Factories do? I'm thinking of building one after setting up a Research Lab, and the description says that they make construction more efficient, but how exactly do they do that? Are they any use other than being a prereq for Shipyards (and, later, Nanites)?

And hey, the site seems to be back up.

[Atragon]

They reduce build time for other buildings. Nanite factories do the same only moreso.

Not for me it isn't.

Factories make construction loads quicker, but they don't save you any resource expenditure. You definitely need a shipyard, so it'd be dumb if you didn't build a factory, if only to get ships!

[Spaced Cowboy]

confirmed still down, but sounds like they are tryingto get it back.

They've fixed the German version, and www.ogame.org, but not ogame.org, which is what we've been playing on. The www version only has 4 universes so far!

Yeah, I was going to build one eventually to build ships and whatnot, but I wanted to know if the description was in any way accurate. At any rate, it's been added to my build plans ahead of the Research Lab, once I get the necessary 200 deuterium in... 5 hours, give or take 30 minutes. (Yes, I have a deuterium mine already. I feel so proud, yet so pathetic at the same time. )

Bleh, time also didn't seem to pass either, at least my stockpiles seem to think so.

However, I did have enough to start 2 small cargo and a light fighter... say hello to a raid tonight!
