Gamblers not working?

[Mirodin333]

I have 4 workers. I put them all into 1 production chain and then clicked the upgrade. My production went down afterwards?? It went from 56 to 48.

It says it reduced by 20% but 3 workers gain 60%. So I should have -20% across the board (each worker doing 120 instead of 140). But 3 of those should be at 180.

So total productivity should be up from 560 to 660. Which imo isnt that big of a boost that diminishes over time.

But still, short term it should have increased my output, but it made it smaller instead... Have to restart this gimped run now, since I spent 20 starting gold to make myself weaker.

Gamblers can be good very much in the early game or if you focus alot on outposts, but where it really shines is the later Ascension Modes in the Game! :)

Okay, but are they bugged or not? Did I misunderstand how they are supposed to work?

Point of my post is that with increased total productivity percentage from 560 to 660, my production should have increased. Instead it decreased (my wheat went down from 56 to 48).

You do not see the bonus in the management panel, it is distributed randomly to the workers. That's why you can't see it in the management panel, because we can't tell at the point which worker will produce more. you only see the result for the lucky workers after the defense phase is over

Im sorry, but i cant see the differense with resourses. 3 workers with +2 wood bonus gathering wood,they produse 36 wood, and 1 on food with +2 food bonus. produse 12 food. Its obvious every worker produse 12. But with 60% some of them must produse 19, no?

they will collect more then the panel says on the right, because it is random workers getting the bonus so you can not plan around which workers get the gambler bonus :) Check your current ressources + what it says you get, and you will see after the wave end you got more then it said in the panel. Hope this is understandable :D

yep because we can not show you where the bonus is applied, then the "gamble" in the gamblers would be very predictable :D
But very nice eyes and thoughts from you that you even realized that, i have a feeling someone is going to crush the leaderboards soon! :)

Yeah I was confused about that too when I was first playing then I decided to just check the recourse gain after the wave and it all made sense lol
