I don't understand

[Xantanash]

I don't understand the mechanics of the game. The basics are simple like any other idle game, you place things and upgrades that give you more $ per second.

Where it gets weird is sometimes I place a gear and I lose $$/s ?
My load is not over the limit. Don't know why I lose money per second when connecting a machine that's not overloading the network.

I'm not sure I understand the speed and torque relation too.
Is Torque only to put a limit on machines connected to network or does it do something else? How is speed affecting money? Does speed affect anything? I have so many questions that are not explained in the game.

The cash wheels you want to spin faster to generate money faster, but the majority of other things it seems you want more torque for.

Torque affects how fast your golden gear spins under load as well. The closer you art to your limit the slower your gears turn. As the gear spins slower you get less cash per second. So if you have 1 spin per second with zero load at say 90% you would be only be getting 1 spin every ten seconds, thus you get less cash. A big part of the game is managing your torque.

I removed all the cash gears so speed should not be a variable now, right?

When I connect to a machine, I make less money.
I'm at 2 / 4.5 of load and I make 372.32$ / s

If I connect the machine at bottom left from golden gear,
I fall to 2.89 / 4.5 load and 334.24 / s

I have 0 cash gear so speed shouldn't be an issue.

EDIT: If I close the first ever machine and let only the second one running, I'm at
0.89 / 4.5 load and I now make 1.32K / s

I need help :/

Ok maybe I wasn't clear before so I'll try again. In the top middle of the screen is your total money amount with your money per second and under that is your load with 2 numbers next to it looking like 2/4. (yes I know you already know this just bear with me.) If you hover over your cash per second you will see something like 0.5 t/s x 100 $/t. This means that your golden gear (the gear that turns everything) makes 1 full turn every 2 seconds (half a turn every second) and you make 100 dollars every turn, so in this example you make 50 dollars every second (.5 x 100).

Now all that is fairly obvious, I know, but here is were thing get tricky your load also affects you GG turn speed. Lets use your numbers, at first you have a 2/4.5 load so your using just under half your load. I don't know the exact numbers but it shouldn't matter o illustrate an example so lets say that your Turns per second is .44 with that load ( 0.44 t/s x 1000 $/T or 440 $ per second). Then you connect another machine and increase the load to 2.89 / 4.5. This slows your main gear to .35 Turns per second. ( 0.35 t/s x 1000 $/T or 350 $ per second.) Finally you turned off the first machine bringing your load down to .89 / 4.5 witch brings your TPS to .80 ( 0.80 t/s x 1000 $/T or 800 $ per second.)

TL;DR
The closer your load is to your torque the slower your golden gear rotates. The slower your Golden gear rotates the less money you make.
