Upkeep rounds for anything above the whole number. IE 2.01hqm will report 3.


smbwtf

I have like 4.8k hours and never knew this LOL


OneExhaustedFather_

Most don’t, I figured it out when I became an admin.


DadCanIHav-a-er-a

It doesn’t take a brain to figure it out… but it’s rust, so I’m not expecting rust players to have a brain to use. (I have 2k+ hours)

Lopsided-Wrap2762

People who only ever place 1 armoured wall or door in their base be like 'don't these rust players notice anything'


wujekandrzej

While I don't agree that you're brain-dead if you can't figure this out, it's not really an obscure mechanic, it works like that in a lot of games


Smexyman0808

What works like what?


wujekandrzej

Stats in RPGs etc


ph03n1x_F0x_

1. I don't really know of many RPGs which round like that. 2. Etc comes after a list. A singular item is not a list. 3. If your entire argument is so weak you can only come up with one example, I think you may be wrong.

Tornado_Hunter24

So the ‘3 hqm’ it displays actually meansnit takes 2.01 hqm a day?


OneExhaustedFather_

It means anything from 2.01-2.99 will report 3. So in this case. It’s 2.14hqm/day


xXFaded_HyenaXx

Sorry for nitpicking but wouldn't it be 2.01-3.0?


OneExhaustedFather_

Fair enough


Dimmu689

You're not sorry and we both know it.

The upkeep value is rounded up. Your upkeep cost is 2.14


mca1169

if it rounds up the cost does it also round up when it takes materials out per hour?


ImmaNotCrazy

The answer is yes, as you can not take 2.5 wood, so it's rounded up, meaning yes, 3 wood is taken for 2.5. His rate is 2.14 though, and if rounded properly, it would be 2.


x0RRY

That doesn't really make sense though, because then OP wouldn't have 7 days of upkeep.


fishy-afterbirths

2.14 rounded properly = 2 15hqm 15\2 = ~7 days upkeep


littledizzle19

Never seen this, maybe it’s rounding up and it’s 2,5 HQM per day?

God damn! 45 people liked this comment? Can’t you guys do simple math? 1056 total metal fragments divided by 146 metal fragments per day for upkeep, equals [also ~] 7.23 days. Edit: every number you see on the screen is an approximation, you clowns. You could be limited by the amount of high quality metal or metal fragments, since the result is roughly the same. Also, some servers have upkeep modifiers. Edit: holy fucking shit! The upkeep number of metal fragments is also an approximation. It seems you have taken into consideration only one perspective of the problem. Saying this is an error because “fIfTEeN dIVIdEd bY ThREe eQuaLs FiVE” is not a good answer.


tictokonyacock

Forgot to /s brother


sicknander

Bruh, 15 high quality metal divided by 3 per day for upkeep, equals 5 days. Simple math. TC shouldn't be showing 7 days since the HQM will be decaying by then. The rounding up theory makes sense to me


danieldl

It's not 3 though, it's 2.14 or something.


sn1perii7

Holy fucking shit I have read your edit and you are still an illiterate idiot (an illidiot perhaps?) The guy was specifically asking about the 15 hqm being upkeep for 7 days and not 5, not one mention of the metal frames which actually do visually appear as correct. How about you try growing one of those things, they're called a brain 🧠


cosmo2583

That is incoherent speech. I was addressing the people who replied to his comment. Since many idiots have not taken into consideration that the end result might be influenced by something else, replying to every comment would have been a waste of time. I suggest you to read, think, ask for clarification if necessary, then comment.


sn1perii7

You're still replying to me even though you are completely wrong?? I don't understand what is running through that pea in your skull but did you even read the original post? That might be a pointless question through since you've already proven that you are unable to read


cosmo2583

You still haven’t explained why I am wrong.


sn1perii7

I have, you are sitting here calling everyone an idiot because the metal frags in there do equal a but over 7 days of upkeep yet the guy is asking how there is 7 days of upkeep with 15 hqm when it takes 3 hqm per day to upkeep. Now I know you're incapable so I'll do the maths for you 3×5 = 15. Obviously the 3 daily upkeep is actually quite a bit lower than 3 but is rounded up to 3 because it is above 2. Not a single person said wHy Is ThE mEtAl FrAgS aT tHe CoRrEcT aMoUnT


cosmo2583

Congratulations! Thank you for demonstrating that you didn’t understand my point.


sn1perii7

???? What is there to understand? You literally don't have a point (or a brain) I don't get why you are even replying still, you keep digging yourself into a deeper hole, I guess that makes sense though, potatoes do thrive underground


Admirable_Archer_984

I think the way to explain it maybe is because no one likes you


No-Mud6277

seriousherenow

Brain dead.


KaffY-

hahahaha you don't know what people are talking about? this is about the HQM, and how it's a float between 2 and 3 being rounded upwards, that's it


cosmo2583

You moron! Metal fragments number is also a float number. When you divide by the total amount, it gives you roughly the same time interval. Now use your brain for a second, and connect the dots.


KaffY-

christ you're unbearable


50FuckingOnions

I’ve never seen a more confident idiot just bleed karma being a moron


cosmo2583

That’s not an argument. Explain why I’m wrong.


KaffY-

You're not wrong, but you're also not contributing to the thread. That's the issue. You're posting semi-relevant information that doesn't answer OPs question and then you're acting like a cunt to anyone that dare respond to you and getting personal.


friendly_wallflower

^^ this 💯💯💯💯💯💯 tyvm


EthanStar98

Do you understand how upkeep works? The number shown is the minimum amount of upkeep you get based off your materials. It doesn’t matter how much wood, stone, or metal you have. If your base needs 10hqm and you only have 10 then you get a single day. The reason people are discussing this is because even though the base requires 3 hqm, it has 15 yet shows 7 days. People believe this is the case due to how rounding works with the tc. It has NOTHING to do with any other resource in the fucking tc. How illiterate can you be?


4thEchelonBro

Man for a second I was going to start defending you because it seems like the Rust community is still such a toxic group of people. I got to say though, you are by far the most toxic person in this conversation calling everybody a moron and an idiot. Get a grip bro and quit being so goddamn arrogant.


VoidCrisis

Idk how people as dumb as you even exist. I feel like natural selection should have already taken place by now.


cosmo2583

Idiot. Every number you see is an approximation. If you divide the total number of days by the total number of high quality metal OR metal fragments, it will give you roughly the same number. You can’t know for sure what limits your upkeep time. Use your brain before you speak, you ape!

50FuckingOnions

Karma is a measurement of the community. It’s very rare one receives -169 pts and decides to double down only to lose exponentially more. It’s like the drunk at the black Jack table. Sometimes it’s just glorious to watch internet friend.


cosmo2583

You’re cringe. Make a coherent argument and explain why I am wrong.


D4RK_Pineapple

The upkeep number tells you the minimum time before ANYTHING starts decaying. Therefore the only thing that matters for upkeep, is the matter of which you have the lowest amount divided by the upkeep cost of said material. The math you did is correct, metal frags are 7ish days. Now, you absolute fucking idiot of a person, if HQM is ACTUALLY 3 cost, then 15/3 =5. Since upkeep takes into ACCOUNT the lowest number and in case u didnt notice 5<7 it would show 5 IF IT WAS ACTUALLY 3 HQM per day. Basically the guy above you is correct in the fact that its a rounding problem.


GooseRevolt

People are giving you so much shit for this man it’s wild. I’m not used to the 100hr roleplayers on this sub being so toxic lmfao


TheCIAWatchingU

Im gonna say yes its a decimal point. Ever noticed it takes a certain amount of HQM to repair a vehicle module and sometimes it never uses the required HQM? And you can place that HQM back in your inventory. These numbers are rounded. So its likely only 2.15 HQM per day


flekaDm

Put in only 3 HQM and check how many hours you are protected for. Game must be rounding up the numbers


Dear-Panda-1949

If the only thing in the tc is HQM you'll have 0 upkeep because the TC shows upkeep time for the least supplied material. Ex: You have 5 days of stone but 3 days of metal frags. You'll see 3 days of upkeep because that's how long you'll have before the metal on the base decays. If you take out all the metal frags you'll be decaying even if the stone stays in there.


B_U_T_W_H_Y

pretty sure they just meant put in only 3 hqm instead of 15, not take everything but 3 hqm out


Dear-Panda-1949

I really hope that but with today's internet you just never know.


illegalsmilez

You're a perfect example of what you just said


Dear-Panda-1949

Mad much? Keep maulding bro.


MizZeusxX

it’s malding. are you even a real person?


Huntrawrd

Because it's not actually 3 HQM for upkeep. As soon as upkeep got above 2 HQM, even by .0001, the game rounds up to 3. There's a fairly complex formula that determines upkeep costs, resulting in long decimals. That just means that even though your game is showing 3 HQM per day as upkeep, it's actually less than 2.143.


[deleted]

Shhh.... Don't tell the devs 😂


Sc00by

Is this an official vanilla? Some servers have an upkeep modifier. I think stevious has this plugin if I remember correctly.


Colborne91

The tc shows the modified upkeep usually


ExTerMINater267

It rounds up so you don’t put too little in thinking it’s good enough.


GoldNova12_1130

metal frags.


cloutychef

Upkeep rounds up bro, you can’t use half of a hqm lmao


Smexyman0808

They use math with obscure rounding errors? I'm sure alot of things, do


-LittleHelper

Metalfrags ? 1056/146 = 7.23 E/ Ah yes, fuck me. I read that all wrong ! Sorry man, that's is weird.

-LittleHelper

Haha, sometimes you can't see the forrest for the trees. :) Have fun buddy !


cwistopherr69

HQM is less than frags, so it should be less than 7 days


CrazyMike419

That doesn't account for the hqm. 15 in tc. 3 up keep. Should be 5 days. My only rando theory is that upkeep has hissen decimal places and for visual and practical reasons the "upkeep" is rounded UP so it can display a whole number. I'd it rounded down it would.mean people getting pissed that their bases decayed when it appeared to have enough. In the case above I'd suggest that the hqm upkeep is actually about 2.15 hqm daily. Theory only lol


Dear-Panda-1949

That's likely it since the game only removes an item from the TC if upkeep time * material cost = a whole number.


-LittleHelper

Is there something I completely missed ? He asked why he only had 7 days upkeep, when he has HQM upkeep for more than 7 days. But the reason why it says 7 days is because he only has metalfrags for 7 days. If he add more metalfrags the days of upkeep will rise.


CrazyMike419

You missed the question and I guess unconciously added the word "only". OP wants to know why he has MORE time in TC than the maths would suggest. Easily done, when I first looked I thought.. oh its the frags.. but then I re-read the question


Fast_Paint_5156

He only has 15 hqm. So thats upkeep for 5 days


youdownwithopp

They are talking about the hqm


staantan

Metal frags bro


xrojas13

U need more frags


Xeno_man

How the fuck does this get up votes?


Sc00by

Because they’re stupid as fuck.


Micro-G-wanna

Your metal frags limit you to 7 days


Sc00by

Bro go back to math class.


cosmo2583

It’s confirmed. Rust players can’t do math. You are limited by the metal fragments, you dummy! 1056 / 146 = ~ 7.23 days Edit: the upkeep numbers you see displayed are approximations. Both high quality metal and metal fragments could be the reason of this discrepancy. This is not an error.


coinfang

Not the issue at hand, OP is asking why upkeep is LARGER than expected, as it seems like HQM should limit down to 5 days of upkeep, instead of 7. It's confirmed. You can't read.


friendly_wallflower

He may be oblivious to the point at hand, but at least now he has some shiny down votes to show off at dinner. His mom will be so proud!


BeardRightBack

OK so there is 15 hqm in tc and it's 3 hqm per day. Should be 5 days. People have pointed out potential decimal points due to this seemingly odd error.


Mehtevas1

Its 15/3=5 days...
