1 Maybe it is important to note that @Skasi's M is neither base metal rate nor total metal rate, but only OD metal rate, which depends on E itself. If n is the number of mexes, ( m_1, . . . , m_n) their base metal rate vector and ( e_1, . . . , e_n) the OD energy vector, Skasi's M=sum_( k=1) ^( n) ( sqrt( e_k/4) *m_k) . So @Skasi's payback time of metal cost ( not energy cost) is time = cost/M = cost/E * E/M, where cost/E describes the energy production inefficiency and E/M the OD inefficiency. For Caretaker it is time = cost/( M+. 3) = cost/( E/( E/M) +. 3) . 1 Maybe it is important to note that @Skasi's M is neither base metal rate nor total metal rate, but only OD metal rate, which depends on E itself.

3 This is only as usefull as E/M is displayed ingame. If you want to calculate something for any specific situation however, you need to start from base metal rates. 3 This is only as usefull as E/M is displayed ingame.
