Efficiency

[Private Tickles]

Has anyone made a spreadsheet and calculated what level of efficiency is worth upgrading to? I wish the game told us the "value" of our components that we are spending for the improved efficiency, and the "value" of the upgrade itself in terms of how many less sysadmins I will need to hire if I do the upgrade, so I can see if spending the components on the increased efficiency is actually worth it or not.

It seems to be a very difficult thing to make depending on what you would like to take in consideration ...

A) CU value only
B) Running cost per CU
C) Running cost including the component creation cost

If we go for option (C) which cost should we take ?
- The "market" standard purchase price given as reference cost.
- The "real" purchase cost of the component if you bought it.
- Your "real" production cost based on the employees cost.
If so : Average cost, or the cost of the one who made it.

What if, the components are made by different employees with different speed and salaries.
What if, the components are not made by you but purchased at a different price.
What if, the components comes from a mix of different origins.
