What, no analysis of building MMF1's and upgrading to MMF3!?

Your numbers are off by so much, I can only assume that you do statistics for a living.

The calc for the upgrade path is off big time. Your problem starts when you hold off counting production for the upgrade stage - you're also not counting every other facility already built, it appears. Just plug some hard numbers in and take a look...

You don't appear to be multiplying the resources generated during and after the upgrade process at all, actually. I see the turns to upgrade part, but nothing taking that and multiplying 900.

I also don't see you multiplying 1000 by the turns remaining while waiting for the MMF IIIs to catch up.

Okay. Don't know if I did the attachment right. It's an Excel 95 spreadsheet.

Check the number and let me know what you think.

I probably made a mistake since the upgrade path generates 100,000 resources more than
building Miner III's first.

Edit-> Oh, the embarrassment. Really goofed up the loss statement. I wrote that Miner II cost 900 instead of 2000. So, subtract 15*1100 =16,500 off the bottom of the upgrade one. Many apologies!
