speed limit

[wessew]

it seems to me that no matter how many speed packets i have that at a certain point you cant get faster (and its far from being instantly to the destination taking 3-4 secs)

[Karsten75]

There is a small, but constant delay at every node while the next node in the path is calculated. This is not reduced by the speed of paclets between nodes. At some point in time, that delay becomes larger than the actual traversal time.

I once built so many speeds that I got hypnotized by watching them blink around everywhere.
Almost fell asleep....
Then I kept building speed, and realized that it won't get any faster then that.
Try it with two paths, One with collectors and the other with relays and see witch is fastest.

See here for Virgil's explanation.

[wessew]

so the way that he put it is that the speeds are most affective if you have them along the path? ???

[Echo51]

Nonono, read it again, placement of them doesent matter at all

[UpperKEES]

No, their location doesn't matter, as long as they are connected to the network.

[wessew]

so in order to get faster odin city needs to produce the packets faster? right?
and so once you get to the point where it doesn't seem to help to build packets, the only way to speed up the process is to build more energy? Right? (:-/

[UpperKEES]

Speed nodes only transport packets faster. The only way to let Odin City disperse them faster is choosing the 'build 20% faster' upgrade. Of course packets are dispersed slower than they are requested when you have a deficit. In that case generating more energy will help.

ok thanks still a little confused but ill figure it out and deal with it
