Does stats help in Mouse wheel generator?

[Jack]

Hi some question on mouse wheel generator please.
It produce 400W power, but if I got duplicant with higher athlete and machinery to run will this increase the Wattage I got?
What if I added light bulb above it will this help raise wattage too, if do how many mouse wheele under 1 light is needed to cover the cost of electric use in light bulb.

The wheel produces the same power no matter what. You can put your most useless debuffed dupe on a wheel and they will generate the same power as your best dupe.

It is always 400W.

..... So sad. I thought I should always put my best runner for the wheel.

Thx

How is that sad? Why wouldn't you want your fastest runner running around doing stuff faster when any loser can use the wheel when you can produce power with stuff instead of dupes?

Even if the stats helped, its still very silly to put your fastest dupe on a stationary building when he can be finishing lots of errands for a what? a minimal improvement on power with a power source that is only meant for early game and priming a circuit?

i would assume too that a faster dupe and/or lightbulb would increase efficiency it would be the only logic thing considering how most other mechanics in this game work.

That's just sad counter argument or white knighting.

I would always get more immersion to the game rather than more min/max potential over immersion.

Thats not how it used to be tho. Some time ago, athletic dupes used to generate more power. It seems that nice feature is also gone.

I dislike 1.0 ONI. I liked it more a year ago.

Because it never existed?

I got ONI 12 Nov, 2017 and hamster wheels were making stable 400W at that point

Eli is correct, it never existed.

Why do people just lie about how "great" the old ONI was? I've been playing since alpha and it's only gotten better.

Old ONI was constant stutters, lagg and crashes while the FPS decreased exponentially with every cycle. The current one still has creeping performance issues, but it's a LOT better.

Not to mention that we have nearly triple the content then we had back then, the only real complaint anyone can make is that germs are no longer fatal. Oh and the people who complain the game is too easy even tho they are playing on the starter astroid with default settings.

With 300hrs of experience...

Technically I believe you can improve the manual generator's efficiency twofold:

• Illuminate the place: dupes generate the same amount of power in "less time". (<- Is this true? Is the running in the wheel a timed job that is helped by light?)
  
• Operate a **Power Control Station** ("PCS") in the same room which increases the power output directly to 600W. To be honest though: the manual one should be the worst generator for a PCS since +200W is the smallest bonus to power you can generate with the PCS using the same amount of resources.

Easy enough to test. Side by side have gens hooked up to small batteries. Have a low athletics and high athletics dupes compete to see which will fill their battery first.
