Thanks for the help. Call me dense but I still don't understand it fully, I thought you need control to reach 100 again for the drone conversion to complete? But, you said you would only start gaining control after the conversion is compelete. So how can drone conversion complete by it self. Do you mean if I use domiante again, then I could like kick start the conversion process if control isn't 0. Or is there a hidden state or something?
Edit: ah so would it calculate control growth until it reaches 100 to complete the conversion without effecting the actual control. And if I spend any control and leave control to 0, it wouldn't acturally grow as simulated? If so, can i kick start it again by using dominate?
Each applied mindcraft runs a tally. You don't see the tally. Think of the tally as "percent complete". The mindcraft completes when the tally hits 100 or more. Every night, the current Control amount is ADDED to the tally.
You can see the target's current Control amount in the Mind Control dialog.
Control is increased by Billy using Dominate, and nightly by active Self Control, Drone, and/or Worker mindcrafts.
Control is reduced by issuing mind control orders, applying a mindcraft, and nightly by an active Free Will mindcraft. Applying a "Basic" mindcraft reduces Control by 40; applying an "Advanced" mindcraft reduces Control by 80.
A mindcraft can complete even with a Control amount of 1 so long as the tally was already at 99 the night before. Having a Control amount of 100 AFTER applying a mindcraft (by issuing a bunch of dominates later in the day, for example) would allow the mindcraft to complete the first night.
Here's another example:
Billy applies 100 Control by using 4 Dominates. Billy then applies the Drone reprogramming. The target's Control amount is now (100 - 80 = ) 20.
Assuming no other interactions with Billy and no other mindcrafts already in place on the target, Drone will become active in (100 tally needed / 20 tally accrued each night = ) 5 nights.
If instead, 3 days later Billy issues the "Command: Give me cash" mind control order, the control amount will drop to (20 - 10 = ) 10. At that point, 3 nights have already passed so the tally is 60. The tally will grow by 10 each night until it hits 100 4 nights later.
