GB Investment overview

The GB Investment overview is structured as follows:

Settings & Inputs (Top Section)

  • Friendly Invest (90%): This is used for calculating self-investment value. 90% return from supporters assuming a 1.9 thread is used.

  • Hide GBs Not Built: If unchecked displays all GBs regardless of whether you’ve constructed them.

  • New Buildings: Daily FP/tile of replaced buildings Value (5): Estimates FP loss due to replacing buildings that generated 5 FP/tile/day.

  • Arc FP Rewards/day from other players (500): Your current assumed income from investing, used for calculating the profitability of investing in Arc.

  • Consider goods production: If enabled, evaluates GBs that produce goods as contributing to ROI by converting goods into Forge Points for comparison:

    • Titan goods (0.5): Rate for conversion of SAT goods to FP's.

    • Jupiter Moon goods (0.25): Rate for conversion of SAJM goods to FP's.

    • Asteroid Belt goods (0.05): Rate for conversion of SAAB goods to FP's.

  • Consider attack bonus: If enabled, ROI also values attack boosts.

    • Attack bonus: Rate for converting attack boosts to FP's.

By inputting a value, conversion in parentheses will update eg. 0.5 FP per good (2 goods = 1 FP).

Main GB ROI Table (Bottom Section)

  • Great Building: Name of the GB being analyzed

  • Level: Displays current and target level for profitable ROI

  • Costs: Total Forge Points needed to reach the targeted level

  • Daily FP: Net daily FP return (negative = FP cost eg. loss from replaced buildings)

  • Daily Goods: Daily goods generated

  • % Attack: Total % attack bonus provided by the GB

  • Break even in: Time required to break even on FP investment

  • FP Costs for goods: Manual input: total FP value of goods needed to level the GB

  • Chevron: Displays a detailed breakdown of levels above the targeted level.

Usage

The GB Investment Overview tool is designed to compare the ROI of GBs and helps prioritize which GBs to level first, based on efficiency. The GBs are ranked by break-even time, with the best value ones at the top. GBs that produce goods or increase attack are evaluated in FP terms for ROI.
