I got this from FAQ document and am I right that this is not correct.
Right so because I am new to this game and I am loving it but the Tycoon global ability is off and there's not one 100% accurate answer any where in this forum.

""Why does a Tycoon improve my production rate to 6 per 5.3 hours, instead of 4.0h?
Since the Tycoon improves your production rate by 50%, it means a factory should produce 27 drillers per day instead of 18. 6 per 4.0 hours would mean that your production was increased by 100%, and you need two tycoons in order to achieve that. ""

+6/8.0hr (8x3=24) so that's 6x3 = 18 driller per day

Now for 50% +6/4.0hr (4x6=24) so that's +6x6 = 36 driller per day.

Let's talk about that (100 %Percent) usually 100% is a whole of something. Tycoon global specification is given 50% increases of SPEED, and SPEED = TIME (60min/Hour). So how does +6/4.0 hour is 100%?

Unless Snappy Touch define 100% is HALF of WHOLE which is understandable you can not have player owning 2x Tycoon for +6/0 hour? so let's say 100% is Whole of HALF so 50% is 25.

So which one does this 50% coming off from? but let's try Tycoon increase production rate from 8 hour, so 8/2 = 4(100% of Half) Next 4/2 = 2(50% of Half) so you should get 2 hour deduction from 8 which is +6/6.0 hour.

But 5.30h Is what about 52.5% and 47.5% is 2.30h of whole 8h is a rough guess ok so no hater please I'm not a math head lol.

I'll see what I can do to help.

You are right by saying a 100% increase is basically doubling the rate, and 50% isn't.

Ok, let me restart. Let's say you have 100% of something. It means you have all of that something, no more, no less. Like $1. You've got $1. However, if you were to add 100% to that, you would have 100% (your original $1) plus 100% = 200%. $1 x 200% = $2. If you add 50% to it, you'd then have 150%, or x 1.5. 1 x 1.5 = 1.5.

So, in terms of drillers, 1 factory can produce 18 drillers a day. You then add 50% to it, or multiply it by 1.5, equaling 27. 5.3h is the rate at which the factory needs to produce to get 27 drillers a day. Having a second tycoon adds another 50%, making your total now x2. 18 x 2 = 36, or drillers every 4h.

I know, it's a bit confusing. But it's how the game works, so just roll with it
