What? Basic maths, you say?
Working for a shift costs 25 energy.
Resting for a shift provides 25 energy.
Sleeping overnight provides 50 energy.
The Sleeping Beauty fully restores all energy for resting a shift - a 400% increase.
The Sleeping Woman adds an extra 25 energy for resting a shift - a 100% increase.
Work 1 shift + rest 1 shift = +25 energy, instead of 0.
The Sleeping Maiden adds an extra 10 energy for resting a shift - a 40% increase.
Work 1 shift + rest 1 shift = +10 energy, instead of 0.
That is "basic maths" & they are, quite obviously, not "pointless", or "fucking useless".
Limited use, I would agree with. I have never needed them, personally. But they clearly do serve a purpose.
I've also never needed or used a few of the other cards, such as The Adventurer, or The Immortal, but they all still have a functional purpose.
Start with the part I highlighted in
yellow.
You screwed up.
Shift rest is 50, not 25.
Minimum you can start a day with 50 energy.
Work 2 shifts = 0 energy, rest 1 shift = 50, night, 100 next day
Work 1 shift = 25, rest 1 shift = 75, work 1 shift = 50, night, 100 next day.
Rest 1 shit = 100, work 2 shifts = 50, night, 100 next day.
Lets run the same 3 patterns with Maiden's +10...
Still can't start the day with less then 50.
Work 2 shifts = 0 energy, rest 1 shift = 60, night, 100 next day (
10 energy lost to cap)
Work 1 shift = 25, rest 1 shift = 85, work 1 shift = 60, night, 100 next day. (
10 energy lost to cap)
Rest 1 shit = 100 (
10 energy lost to cap), work 2 shifts = 50, night, 100 next day.
Seeing as no matter which card you use, your still only get 2 shifts per day and any extra energy from the cards is always lost to the energy cap, I'd say it's rather obvious how
pointless they are.
As I pointed out in my first post;
The
only time the cards are at all useful is when a girl starts the day at 50 and then trains in the library in the AM. That'll put her at 0.
Shift rest in PM gets her to 50.
Work eve, 25.
Night... start next day with 75.
With Maiden she starts next day with 85, with Woman next day is 100. Because of 100 cap on energy, Rank 3 Beauty is no better then the Rank 2 Woman.
I'm comfortable with my maths.
Seems you need a refresher.
