RE: LPE and ROI - UNITE!
You are viewing a single comment's thread:
There is a reason I stay away from cost and therefore ROI.
Cost is personal. Also it is highly variable when a card is concerned. I have know way of knowing how much you have spend on a particular card in the past. Especially more many that would be years in the past. Also they would have combined the cards during various times...........so I stay away from cost of cards.
However, for an individual, like you, you can surely calculate this, as you know exactly how much you paid.
ROI is a personal item. You can calculate your own ROI.
My goal is to calculate metric NOT for me but for others. So I must come up with a metric that is public knowledge and can be easily shared for everyone.

I got that, hence I opened the Sheet for everyone to use for their personal decision making. Many things can happen over time as well, Black Swan events and such, that make it very difficult. But a calculation like this can at least help to make a decision in the present. Of course, everyone has to be aware that things can go to the moon, or just become worthless - that is also referred to in-game. What if tomorrow the price for stone and other resources plummets? Suddenly, the LPE numbers would plummet, too, as they're bound to the DEC earned with the plots. If that DEC goes down, so does the LPE.
Hence, I like the PP/E ratio better to determine the efficiency of a plot. It's stable, it won't change. Like the LCE I think? But the PPE is easier to understand for me, and easier to read as it's lower than the LCE.
The CPC is just a little helper to determine what a card bought now can do for the PP/E ratio.
That's a good idea to visualize. I still have to start thinking in diagrams... I'm more thinking in tables at the moment.
That looks somewhat like mine! But it's Cost/Productivity Coefficient, not cost per card.
IF DEC loses peg in a big way, then you are TOAST :)
So is your LPE if resources crash :-D And even if DEC crashes, I'll still have gotten the best deal at the time. Can't predict the market anyway. And if I have to bet, I bet on the Flywheel starting sooner or later.
LPE is just a metric. It will still generate a number
Land Plot Efficiency (LPE) = (Total DEC Equivalent generated/hr) / (Number of active Plots)
It is priced in DEC. It doesn't care what happens to DEC. It does care about price of resources, if their value drops drastically, which can happen if people stop producing all resources, and keep selling them (I don't know why they would do that) then LPE goes up.
Anyways, I think a bubble chart could be better visually
Exactly my point. While my calculations are tied to DEC/$ Ratio, your's are tied to DEC/Resource ratio. I just hope that neither gets down :-D
And the LPE would go up? Doesn't it mean that less DEC is produced per plot, and it goes down?
