[02:41:34] Sognec El'Kendan > It looks like someone with 4/4 learning and +3 implants (arguably an 'average' learning setup) will have a reasonable starting skillset in about 1.5 days. Remote Sensing 3, Upgrades 3, Consolidation 2. From there the Planetology skill is available.

Factory World Formulae

Is the formula for the factory world profit-per-unit correct? The one given is:

 P2bid - ((P1aAsk + p1bAsk)*8) - 15.08 = profit-per-unit

I would have expected that 8 would be a 4 because you need 20 units of each P1 to make 5 units of your P2. So, I get:

 5*P2bid - (20*P1aAsk + 20*P1bAsk) - 5*15.08 = profit-per-five-units

Or, factoring out the 5:

 P2bid - ((P1aAsk + P1bAsk)*4) - 15.08 = profit-per-unit

Then again, perhaps I made a mistake?
