:::Actually, ALL of the variables follow the base+mult archetype, (as can be seen in the way I set up the [[User:Quetzilla/Spread_Formula_Test|mockup for which the new formatting is somewhat based on]]) it's just that BGS took some leeway with what kind of related value affects the Mult. | :::Actually, ALL of the variables follow the base+mult archetype, (as can be seen in the way I set up the [[User:Quetzilla/Spread_Formula_Test|mockup for which the new formatting is somewhat based on]]) it's just that BGS took some leeway with what kind of related value affects the Mult. | ||
:::The Base+Mult set up is very simple, and the purpose is to allow the devs to influence the affect of any particular variable on a result by changing the values of the base vs the mult. It's no mistake that in every factor/penalty in the formula, there is a set of values which results in the base+(mult*value) equaling 0 or 1 (depending on how the value is meant to affect the formula). | :::The Base+Mult set up is very simple, and the purpose is to allow the devs to influence the affect of any particular variable on a result by changing the values of the base vs the mult.

:::edit: more specifically in response to Haama's suggestion, this is a result of not using the names I had originally suggested, as 'Bonus' can lead to thinking of the variable as additive, when in fact it's multiplicative, and this would be clear if the variables had retained the original names with the word Factor in them. | |||
