Because I'm a nerd who has no social life, I figured out the maths to contraband, to help people get a rough estimation as to how long it will take to gain X amount with their contraband.
Notes:
Here's the example.
Steph wants to make $72,000 from contraband. She has 2 money printers and 5 drug labs.
[1250 x 2] + [700 x 5] = 6000 <- Amount gained each refill
72,000 ÷ 6000 = 12 <- Number of 'refills' needed
12 x 25 = 300 <- Number of minutes
300 ÷ 60 = 5 <- Number of hours (conversion of minutes)
Therefore, it takes Steph 5 hours to gain $72,000.
KEY:
DL - Drug Labs
MP - Money Printers
H - Hours
M - Minutes
R - Refills
$ - Total Cash
X - Amount
Notes:
- Contraband takes approximately 25 minutes to become fully drained of energy (0/5 energy)
- The maximum drug labs can produce is $700 per refill
- The maximum money printers can produce is $1250 per refill
- The total of money gained with the maximum amount of printers and labs in $6000 per refill
Here's the example.
Steph wants to make $72,000 from contraband. She has 2 money printers and 5 drug labs.
[1250 x 2] + [700 x 5] = 6000 <- Amount gained each refill
72,000 ÷ 6000 = 12 <- Number of 'refills' needed
12 x 25 = 300 <- Number of minutes
300 ÷ 60 = 5 <- Number of hours (conversion of minutes)
Therefore, it takes Steph 5 hours to gain $72,000.
AND THE FORMULA:
[MP x X ] + [DL x X] = Money per refill (MpR)
$ ÷ MPR = Number of refills (NoR)
NoR x 25 = M
M ÷ 6 = H
KEY:
DL - Drug Labs
MP - Money Printers
H - Hours
M - Minutes
R - Refills
$ - Total Cash
X - Amount
