Problem

The original harvester recipes:

• Discourage upgrading parcels beyond levels 3 & 4.
• Are too expensive in cost and punishing in yields at the higher levels.
• Easily allow for the Low Leveloor to extract insanely high yields with very little investment.
• Are too inexpensive from a time-to-build perspective. This diminishes the effectiveness of makers and the utility of GLTR.

After a month and a half of theorising, simulating, and refining MikeyJay, coderdan, letsgobankless, and myself have arrived at a final recipe which we believe best solves the above problem.

The proposed recipe changes to the harvester:

• Promote dynamic gameplay with a multitude of winning strategies
• Make high level harvesters not only viable, but desirable
• Reduces inflation of alchemica
• Handicap the Low Leveloor strategy
• Significantly increase build time for each installation which promote a healthy GLTR economy. This increase drives more utility to the maaker. This topic has been discussed at length. For a full understanding, I highly encourage you to read through the forum thread, simulation results, and recipe changes found in the links above. The Bot Strategy link provides insight into how the simulation bots operated.

This heat map gives a general overview of the expected ROIs. Please bear in mind bots are not intuitive. They follow a very specific set of commands (see link above for those rules)

Associated Risks

Given the amount of time invested in recreating this recipe, there are few contingencies.

The reduction in alchemica inflation also means a reduced ROI (in terms of alchemica, not necessarily $$$)
