Talk:Shielded Metal Den

Capacity Regression

After a few regressions, the best match, the exact match, is capacity = -26.428*level^2 + 1509.48*level + 581.05. Of course the change in capacity would be the derivative: -52.856*(level-1) + 1502.48

Useless Dens
These Dens really are useless. They should be torn down as you gain rank. If you don't plan to defend your new colony well you should build them at least to level 3 which stores 10,000 or 5. But those deuterium tanks...need nearly four times as much resources and twice the level for the same amount of storage capacity.

calculating capacities
I was raiding somebody that had the 50

I was raiding somebody that had a half metal to be taken (last wave) of about 13k and the esp probe sent to arrive seconds after the last raid showed 222k metal left. i was trying to figure out how big the protected space was. it's obviously 209k but how many levels would that take?

Capacity Formula
I found a capacity formula today, after using some graphs to get the feel and then numberfits to get the rounding right..

$$Int(\frac{BaseValue*Level^{1,8}}{Level})$$

This formula works for all the storage dens, though the base values themselves seem to be rounded. 2089,3125 gives correct numbers for Metal Den. Crystal Den is $$\frac{37}{48}$$ of Metal Den (Base Value: 1610,5117...) and Deuterium Den is $$\frac{2}{3}$$ of the Metal Den (Base Value: 1392,875).

This formula can be written as

$$Int(BaseValue*Level^{0,8})$$

which shows that only the first few levels, if at all, of this building are worth it.

Vote Keep
I think information about historical versions of the game is useful. And it's not like the wiki is going to run out of space. Keep. Scarbrowtalk 20:23, 13 November 2020 (UTC)
