questions

So, do we have to wait hours for people to gain energy or do we start with a certain amount of energy?

20 e/h

And i suppose we'll start with 20. Or 0. Up to Wiggin :)

What happens to the energy we collected last month? I.E does it record somewhere on our profile so say in 12 months time we'd be able to see how much we've collected ever. (Hypothetically speaking as I know beta will end during that time)

It won't keep track of monthly energy. Only your 'total energy' won't be reset (unless you leave your clan)

Lot of players keep track of their own achievements manually in their profile.

So we have to wait hours before it's 'possible' to obtain decent amounts of energy and that's providing there isn't 50 other people trying to do the same thing? will be a verrry slow start to every month if that's the case.

Well I think it should!

That's correct. A month has about 720 hours though. It'll be alright ;)

As more and more bots are made there should eventually be an abudance of energy to be harvested.

Gay.

>As more and more bots are made there should eventually be an abudance of energy to be harvested.

The whole idea is to make energy >not< abundant. So by that time, i think the amount of 20/h should be lowered, but we'll see what happens.

Still doesn't change the fact that more bots, the more energy that will be getting harvested so no matter what you do (if starting with a decent amount of energy every month isn't an option) will always be a very very slow start to every month

I haven't been keeping up to date with the new clan mechanics, but I thought that bots started with 1000 energy at the start of the month? Or was that idea scrapped somewhere along the line?

You'll start with 20.

It only gets "saved" in the sense that it's now a part of your total energy. The way I'm saving clan results though would actually allow me to display historical monthly energy values, so maybe I will add that.

That was scrapped in favor of the hourly regen setup.

Personally I kind of like the idea of it being slow to start out with. Artificially inflating the amount of energy in the game at the start of the month is an option, but I'd like to see how it plays out first with the current setup. I think it will be more cutthroat/exciting. We'll see.
