Astrology GUI

[draavell]

Some of the astrology windows are confusing and some seem obvious, can someone help with explaining them. Before the GUI was added there was a description of how the numbers worked, now its just a positive or negative, can we get that description back. I have'nt been able to find a definitive guide on forums.

Theses are only a few of the astrology stones in game that I had on me

 

The one that really got me is the degrade, not sure if its a good or bad number even though its negative.

Look at the colors: as usual, green is 'good', red/orange is 'danger/bad'. So, your degrade in the examples is orange -> bad. Make rare is a bit green -> slightly positive. I'm not sure about harvest, cause positive/negative depends on what you want

hmm thats strange before it said that -degrade is good.. ? before the picture was on here

[molime]

No it didn't. Result of using an indicator before:

[01:01:24] Harvest Events Increase: -9 (the higher, the more events)

Degrade: 240 (the higher, the less chance to break)

I understand it like this :

An item has normal breakrate at let's say 1/1000

If the indicator say -330 is the breakrate 1/1000-330 = 1/670

So higher chance to break.

I might be wrong.

I think you need to base calculations of event in 10k instead of 1k, e.g. if your breakrate was 1 in 1k, it's 10 in 10k (as 1/1000=10/10000) so the modified rate in the above example is 10 in 9670 or 1 in 976 which is a bit better than 1 in 670 (since we're taking about a break rate).

but before failure, when it was in minus, was actually a positive thing. So now when it's in minus is negative?

No, not everything is green when plus . Failure (just like Make Rare, see the pic above) is 'green -> positive/good' at a negative number. Hm, confusion might be caused by different uses of positive/negative I realize.

So can someone conclude? I'm confused about harvest im -63 does that mean more events or less? Thanks.

[Cycloonx]

-63 is less events

[Atlantis]

molime showed log earlier:

[01:01:24] Harvest Events Increase: -9 (the higher, the more events)

 

Higher, more events. So -63 is less events.

If the progress is red then the effect is negative and if the progress is green - positive. Simple aint it
