Increase of piles
Some of the above does not seem accurate, could be based on older versions so I logged into the game and did some basic observations. One thing, right off the bat, is that the author states that gathering posts are 75% increased, but yet in the charts the coal value doubles, shrug. I verified that the numbers in the charts are correct, the 75% thing, thus, is wrong. For some, reason coal benefits disproportionately from posts. You can also derive from the data that steel extraction increases by 87.5%. I would conjecture that there is no universally defined benefit to the posts, rather it seems like the devs saw what the rate on the piles was and just like added 1 to it i.e. max employed wood pile is 6.0 wood/hour and the post is 7.0. Simularily, max steel pile is 4.0 and the post is 5.0. Hope this helps, I've been very frustrated by the lack of actual math discussed about the game.

Another, minor observation is that 85% of 7 is 5.95. In the chart the amount of wood extraction from medium to hard goes 7 to 6. Is this rounding or is this accurate in the game?

To be clear, in my testing I built a gathering post that could only reach one pile of the specified resource, if that turns out to be relevant. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 173.64.127.210 (talk • contribs) at 20:25, 31 October 2018 (UTC). Please sign your posts with ‎
