I think the energy recharge numbers were miscalculated over the last 7 1/2 hours.

Here's my reasoning: I spent almost all of my energy before going to bed at midnight, 7 1/2 hours ago. My minerals and artifacts show the expected growth (7 "ticks"), but my energy shows less than 5 hours of growth.

Here's my charge modules:
Total Reduction (Name, Reduction x Quantity)
72 seconds (Transconduits, 18 x 4)
5 seconds (Chron-Transistor, 5 x 1)
10 seconds (Omicron Injector, 10 x 1)
10 seconds (F.A.T.H.E.R., 5 x 2)
Total Reduction: 97 seconds
Base Rate: 180 seconds
Actual Charge Rate: 83 (but shows up as 82 seconds on the timer)

That means I get 43.373 energy per hour, rounded to 43. So in 7 1/2 hours I should have received at least 325 energy. Instead, I had about 205 when I woke up, which is what I would accumulate in 4.72 hours, there's a missing ~2.77 hours of energy that I can't account for.

The only actions I took before noticing the problem were to finish my research and sell my transconduits, neither of which should have taken 120 energy.

First. your calculations take into account using transconduits. Then at the end you say this

Did you sell them before or after you sleep?? (I assume your maximum energy is above 205. If it is 205, then that's where the problem is)

EDIT: ALSO check that none of your energy items are OFFLINE

what does your energy timer start at?

1:22 with transconduits


I most definitely sold them when I got up, here's the order of events:

1. Woke up
2. Finished my research (new relays)
3. Sold my transconduits in anticipation of ranking up and replacing them with the new relays
4. Noticed that my energy was 205, rather than somewhere in the low-mid 300's (as it is every morning).

All of my energy items were online when I got up and none were broken.

My max energy with relays is 920, without relays is 1200.

I follow the same pattern every day, in the morning I have between 300 and 400 energy, which is more than enough to bring me to the next rank. So I take my relays offline, rank, spend my energy, then bring the relays back online.

I followed the same pattern today except that I sold my relays instead of taking them offline. I just double checked that buying/selling a transconduit does not affect your existing energy, so that small deviation from my usual pattern should have had no effect.

I suspect something went wrong with the energy calculations last night.

I have experienced similar issues in the past, not just with energy, but occasionally with artifact, research, and mineral production. I've never gotten around to asking about it, but just yesterday, all of my productions were spot on except for research, which had only grown by two hours worth instead of the 7 it should have.

IDK about what happend to Jarsyl

But this could just be that you hit your research cap.

As for the energy issue, I have a hunch as to why this might happen in certain circumstances in the exact steps that were mentioned. I'll work with Jarsyl 1 on 1 to see if it can be reproduced based on these assumptions.

Nah, I used all my research before bed...then in the morning I had 819 research. I produce 409 per hour. No biggie though. I figure it has something to do with switching web browsers constantly. I've had issues with other web games as well, where timing is screwed up when I go from safari on my home compy to FF on my work (windows server, bleh) machine.

Case in point; I left for 48 hours (fun weekend, btw!), and only had 5215 research when I returned home. I generate over 400 research per hour. And my research cap is 7950.
