Generator Costs

[Magpieman]

As some of you may have noticed generator costs have changed slightly due to them previously not being calculated correctly. With this now being fixed larger towns will find the daily cost may have increased slightly, so to compensate we have turned on nether protection for everyone permanently at no extra cost.

Generator costs increase exponentially with the size of protection. This means the bigger your town gets the more expensive each 10 radius expansion becomes. Here is a breakdown of how your generator cost is calculated.

Every 10r (radius) you expand from your generator between 0r and 100r will cost 1e (emerald) per rl (real life) day. Therefore a generator protecting 100r (which is the equivalent of a 200 by 200 block area) will cost 10e per rl day.

For every 10r you expand between 100r and 200r will cost 2e per rl day. Therefore if you have a 200r town it will cost 30e per rl day. (10e for the first 100r and 20e for the next 100r)

Radius : Cost per 10r : Total gen cost
0 - 100r = 1e per 10r = 10e for 100r gen
100-200r = 2e per 10r = 30e for 200r gen
200-300r = 3e per 10r = 60e for 300r gen
300-400r = 4e per 10r = 100e for 400r gen
400-500r = 5e per 10r = 150e for 500r gen

Key:
r = radius
e = emerald
rl day = real life day (24 hours)

Has there been a change to the generator costs? I wanted to power up my generator for my new town. I wanted a radius of 30 blocks from the generator. From the info in this thread, I thought the daily cost would be 3e but the generator is asking for 14e a day?

What gives bruh ;-;

You are correct, the math is wrong. It costs exactly as much to run a 115r gen as a 30r gen... Whoops.
