some games ago. player had 8 singus 1600 energy income and all other players from team around 40...
same with metal: 70 metal for the singu player and ~ 22 for other players.

Wasn't it changed?

well seems like I wasn't wrong. since other people build singus and whole team got more..
but when one person builds singus it seems like only him gets the overdrive :p

quote: Being the sole energy contributor now gives you x0.33 of all OD metal, previously x0.5.

Sprung, so in a 2v2 being the sole energy contributor gives me 33% and my ally 67% of OD metal? Conspiracy! :P

Chesti, note that this effect is much larger in large team games. 50% and 33% of all OD metal can be much more in 20v20s than in a 2v2. Provided my expectations for how OD works are correct, here are some examples:

20v20, I have a singu, teammates have 0 energy
I get 33% of overdrive metal, everyone each gets 67%/20 = 3.5%
Thus I get 36.5%, while others each get 3.5%, difference ~10x

2v2, I have a singu, teammate has 0 energy
I get 33%, everyone each gets 67%/2 = 33.5%
Thus I get 66.5%, ally gets 33.5%, difference ~2x

Wait. So if i eco i get less metal?

Bu...where that 1% goes...

Given that this is the size teamgames often take, eco is still mad skewed to reward just sitting at the back making singu, before you even consider the 50% payback.

taxes

The "being the sole energy contributor" was somewhat misleading (but that's what the commit log said). The 0.33 privatized OD share is the theoretical max, but in practice it is almost never reached.

Each energy structure is assigned its OD contribution. This is proportionate to its E income. For example, if all the team's energy is a fusion (+35) and a geo (+25), and the OD is +12m, then the fusion is "responsible" for +7m and the geo for +5m. When freshly made, they claim 0.33 of that income. This goes down to 0.1 when they're almost fully but not yet repaid, and after that it jumps to 0. The reduction is not linear either. It depends on how much was already repaid: 0.35 - 0.25*repaid (capped at 0.33).

For example let's say the Fusion has just been made and the geo was already 80% repaid. The fusion owner gets 0.33*7

2.33 and the geo owner gets (0.35 - 0.25*0.8)*5

0.75. The total private share is 3.08 metal (and not 0.33*12 = 4). As energy gets repaid, the actual private share decreases because many generators start having 0 payback.

[Spoiler]

The variable that counts the total incomes does not use pure income. It uses income minus "lastTeamNe" and lastTeamNe is, among others, the energy that goes into OD (the other uses are legit because they are to cancel fake income from the forced tax).

The gadget is super messy so it might be the case that this cancels out somehow. When I get some free time I might investigate more.

quote: lastTeamNe is not relevant for payback

L932: incTakeNE = te.eInc - lastTeamNe[teamID]
This means incTakeNe takes it into account.

L933: allyTeamEnergyIncome = allyTeamEnergyIncome + incTakeNE
This means allyTeamEnergyIncome is just a sum of the allyteam's incTakeNE's so it does take it into account too.

L1208: local repayMetal = inc/allyTeamEnergyIncome * summedOverdrive * paybackFactorFunction(repayRatio)
Here is the payback amount: allyTeamEnergyIncome is used here as the total so lastTeamNe is relevant.
