+ ++ +++ Percentage?
So we all know about these guides right ? https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=216784744

But if you use a percentage mod where you can see exactly how much you're investing in each category, how much is that percentage wise ?

Because right now i'm going by this:

+ 60%
++ 80%
+++ 100%
--- 0%
-- 20%
- 40%

But i do not know if this is accurate or not

That makes no sense... why would - -- and --- all be 0% ?

Because it takes away effort from things that are important. If there are three things, which are +++, ++ and ~, you could put some effort into the ~ but you're better off spending everything on the +++ and ++.

In a vacuum you would add it, but since you can also spend that work on other things it's not worth it.

What exactly are you basing this on?
I usually do what others said in this thread, but for the sake of minus(es?)

- = 15%
-- = 10
--- = 5 or 0.

I usually kind of just eyeball it, I try to almost never leave something on 0 unless I feel like that extra bit of percent would really help with something else. Even then, I do try to put someone slightly talented on that part, if it's not a small game. But I'm also no expert, it's just what I do.

If it's worth anything, I beat the game on pirate mode with my way of making games, so who knows. I personally don't use a mod for percentages, so consider my words to be 'approximate' rather than exact.

This i can agree on, makes more sense than all of them being 0%

why do you make a post asking stuff if you just cry about the answers xdd
What are you 13? "cry" ?

If i ask you what color is the sun and if someone tells me it's pink obviously i'm going to debate it and not believe it. Same with - -- --- all being 0% since it's nonsensical and has no basis in any game mechanics.

You coming here instead of giving proper information come with your uninformed clueless and idiotic opinion like a highschooler commenting people are " crying " proves that you are incapable of understanding a properly formulate argument that is not based around your clueless little corner of the world where you sit all day watching anime.

;) Now... yes, you can go cry.

Unless you have something usefull to add to the conversation, be so kind as to piss off :)

Putting everything that's ~ - -- --- at 0 unless making it just a bit more lets you add another feature, makes all my games get 8/9/10 out of 10. It's simply the way it works

This is first post on steam so please don't give me hate. It is advisable to put zero on everything that is - and --. Even with 0% on the slider, the game is putting 10% on time allocation. With ~ we have a lot of flexibility. My range for ~ is 0% to 80% depending upon how this helps with the T/D ratios.
