Does that work for anyone else, cuz if I switch my house it holds, but maybe its just a coincidence w/ my end and energy lvls.

Anyone else got any formulas for trains?

so.. 1250/100 = 12.5 * 120 energy = 1200+ in trains? It's not even close.

I had a much better formula now. But, it's not for disclose. My beta version formula is in the Tips forum.

I think that it's probably divided by 1000, at least in my experience. That fits for my full trains (beachhouse, 94 ep, 13 endu), and fits for what I recall of midlan villa. Unfortunately, this fails to account for the diminishing returns of smaller trains. :/

to the best of my knowledge trains run off your % happiness, not the actual number. so say you have 100/100 happ in a box, you will get a higher return than say 100/700 in a ranch.

Also, 100 points increase in happiness is not equivalent to about 3700 dev point in endurance.

You'll notice that I didn't say 100 points is equivalent to 3700 dev points, but 3700 credits worth of dev points in endurance. I have my equation fit pretty well for all the data given to me by players with low endurance up to about mid 20s. Independent variables are only energy, happiness and endurance so I'm sure the actual equation is a little more complicated.

From what I've seen though it is linear with energy spent.

I can tell you that that's untrue. Next time you have full ep, do a train of like 5 or 6. It's well known that you get more training each refresh (if you can get the happi refresh) than clumping trains.

doing the preceding netted me 7.5% more dev points per EP than my best full train.
