Accurate Project Progress

Postby returner » Tue May 04, 2010 4:54 am

Please tell me if I am wrong, and this suggestion will be rendered pointless..
If I complete 30% of a project every tick, then when I get to 90% I've noticed the next tick brings me to 0% (on projects with repeat).

I'd like to see the excess 20% in said example passed on to the beginning of the next project, if possible, and for all projects of course.

Cheers

After one cycle next project isn't at 20%, but at 0%, which is displayed correctly. "Unused" %%'s doesn't carry to next cycle.

Hahahahaha, screw you Yugo!!


Okay, so it is a problem, can we fix it? Make another variable which carries it over to the next project?

Instead of spending time on programming this, why don't we go all the way and include a "work for xy hours" option? It shouldn't be too much of a problem to calculate how much xy you can gather in an hour and give it to you on tick. Since you are able to create 71g projects with 50 repetitions, having the program calculate the volume of the project would be merely aconvenience issue.
Pretty in pink.

Yep, this is better. Shall I change the topic title?
