IBID.

Mark we just come in here and read the results. When you state your done your testing that is when we will talk about it.

Sorry if I offended you there.

Take care

OK sorry if I sounded grouchy, just wanted to make sure I wasn't just wasting my life (well, that part of it, anyway!)
I'll do a bit more testing later.

Solving equations with more than one variable is never easy. You are entitled to a little grouchiness.

I admit I didn't read the whole thread, but I am curious about this. Wouldn't it make sense though to mod the shrines so they have a high value, before running the test?

PvK



Exactly, Mark has run the tests with modded shrines, +100 and -100 instead of the existing -30?

The odd thing about it is this:

Results ; not detailed but,
the new "good" world was receiving just as many events as before! The previous "good" shrine was reveiving none!!

any ideas?

Edit:
Tried again, and this time I built the shrines the other way round from the start.
My previous good, now bad world... no events. None.



It seems that, once you have built a shrine, the rules are set, even if you scrap the facility later on and build the counterpart, +100 instead of -100. And the value -100 does not mean it would avoid 100% of the events.

Edit: This seems to be the interesting part of it:

This does appear significant. I will test further, but it seems that a -10,000 value has stopped all events.
As a quick thought, perhaps this is 100ths of a percent - possibly the code turns the value into a percent by dividing by 100, but accidentally does this twice?
