USS Henrico -> Breakthrough expansion of Level 0 Port (2/8/2011 2:57:37 AM)
In my PBEM game with Chickenboy, there was a sudden expansion of the level 0 port at the battleground base of Terapo to Level 1. After increasing at 1-2% for several turns with the same number of engineers working and the same level of emphasis on port expansion, there was a 91% increase in 1 day. Port Expansion by day: 12/6/42 0/0, Expanding 5% 12/7/42 0/0, Expanding 7% 12/8/42 0/0, Expanding 9% 12/9/42 1/0, Expanding 0% Is having a sudden expansion like this a bug or a feature? It looks like going over 10% might have caused the jump to the Level 1 port. The SeaBees are good, but are they this good? Thanks.

That's pretty typical going from 0 to 1. Sometimes takes a little bit longer, maybe as high as 20% or so, but they do tend to jump.

I've been peripherally involved in wooden-piling pier construction, and most of the work--maybe 80+%--is siting and installing the pilings. Adding the deck planking is pretty easy and fast. A pier can go from completely unusable to fully functional in a very non-linear time.

Thanks for the response, CaptDave. Do you see this same jump from 1-2 or is there something unique about 0-1? I tend to keep pretty extensive records (adding considerably to the time it takes to play the game!), but I don't have them with me here at the office. If memory serves, though, there is sometimes a jump in the 1-2 expansion, but not nearly as big. Usually it's not until the fort is at least 60% expanded, if it's going to happen, but usually they go through the full process. Of course, going from 1 to 2 is a lot faster than going from 2 to 3, which is faster than going from 3 to 4, and so on.

Okay, I have to correct myself. I've seen the following jumps just in my current game: 1.23 to 2.01 1.11 to 2.00 1.16 to 2.01 1.14 to 2.00 1.13 to 2.01 1.12 to 2.00 You get the idea. No such jumps going from 2 to 3, and none for ports or airfields (I haven't expanded any from 0, so this doesn't mean it won't happen -- but there are none from 1 to 2).
