I had Noctuaa lock the page for me because unfortunatly people who didn't understand math, or take the time to understand what was written on the page would often simply change things.

Usually they would change the numbers on the table, so that they would be off by one (they would do their own tests, and not take rounding into account). Or they would run math where they reduced costs by 30%, never tested it in game, and then make the table reflect those numbers.

I also would have problems with people editing the forumal so that it no longer worked. Such as "Cost = (X / (1 + (Y / 100))) Where X is the Base Cost, and Y is the numerical value Streamline displays." Where it creates a grey area as it seems to be telling you to not follow globally acceptefd mathametic processes, and instead do something different. But realistically it was usually far worse:

"Cost = (Base Energy Cost / 100) * (100 - X), where X is the percent power efficiency, and the result is always rounded up."

I'm pretty sure that they were literally just adding in 100s here and there because they thought that they might or might not be applicable to change a percentage into a whole number. Maybe.

Any way, that is why Noctuaa locked my page for me so that only... Certain people, can edit it. And now I don't have to RAGE as much.
