The map just makes it easier to know exactly which one is oven #4 as I noticed early on most people base their recipes on it and if you were to head HERE then knowing which is which becomes necessary.

IngisKhan's quicker recipe (using oven 4) from earlier in the thread -
Strong oven: 19.5; MAX; 19.5
Other ovens: 19,5; MAX; MAX

the best one I'v used is 30/30/30 give 900 to 940

Mathew, your settings must be slightly off. 30-30-30 should give you pellets scoring 950-1000. set the bottom of the red needles in the center of the black mark you are trying to set the control on. Theoretical value is 1000 for that setting. There is a 0 to -5% variance on the displayed score.

For all you pellet heads out there, here is some data I collected over several months of intensive pellet baking back in GT MOUL. I'm not sure it's very useful but it is interesting (to me al least ).

Code:

A similar chart for the offline PoTS version of Er'cana:

Code:

try this.....the goal is a high score --- you should note that the longer you leave your oven once the pellets are done...the lower the score you will get....think of it like your at home baking bread and you forgot about the loaf...its gonna turn into a brick.

Here is a good recipe - im not sure why the recipes you all post are low scores but .....here are 2 you may or may not want to try and im not sure of the whole Health thing.....but

ok...here it is...fireworks = BAD - white glow = OK ---- orange glow AWESOME ---- for a 4 hour bake set all ovens at 30-30-30 (its worth the wait, this will yield approx a score of 988 per pellet.) this gives an orange glow that fills the the water surface

for a shorter bake time and lower pellet score (who wants that?) this is a 2 hour bake time....set ovens 1,2,3 at 19.5/50/50
and oven 4 set at 19.5 / 19.9 / 50 ------this will yiels a score of 600-650 (i don care for this one due to the lower score and since the whole PELLET thing is over...the scores in the bevins are just meerly a compitition now. so the 4 hours is a better way to go
if the meeter ever gets returned to the ferry terminal the pellets will play a bigger role. but for now its just a rewardless thing to do

It would add a nice touch of realism, but... have you verified this rumor?

I'm not really good at math but 4 hours baking time to yield 5 pellets at 1000 each is 5000
2 hours baking to yield 5 pellets at 900 is 4500 times two = 9000

yes I verified it on several batches...just to be sure and its happened to me on each bach...I bake them for the 4 hours and Im right there when the oven is ready - NICE HIGH SCORES --- But if i go to bed and come back in the morning OR go to work - whatever the case might be, the pellets are considerably lower -- Ive seen them drop from 988 to 900 and that is generaly with a 3 to 4 hour extra wait time but I have left them for a few days as well and the score has dropped to 800

thats with the 30 30 30

The second recipe mentioned will actually score between 900-1000 which is considered the optimum score. If you get scores in the 600 range, then one of your settings is off by one tick either over or under where it should be. If one or more of the settings is off by even one tick, the entire batch's score will drop dramatically. Some very exhaustive tests were done during the GameTap era that proved this. If set correctly, this recipe will result in dramtically increased daily scores because of it's very low cook time, and optimum range.

If you hunt around, the same postings also proved pretty conclusively that there is absolutely no truth to the "degradation" theory. Once the batch is cooked, it remains in the the hopper until it is dropped. The score is set at the time it's cooked, and that score does not change. If a variable score is observed, this is normal, as the scores can, and will fluctuate as much as 100 points one way or the other, but the variance should be between 900 and 1000, with a mean somewhere around 966 or so (I averaged 972 when I ran a large number of batches over several days totally over 1,000,000 points). Also, the cook time is actually a few minutes less than two hours (I think i recall it being 1:57, but I might be off by a minute). Not that it matters, but if someone was to min/max a set of batches, they might eek out another batch within a given timeframe because of those few extra minutes.

You had better run some more tests then. << note wink smiley

Hi. Hope this is the right place to bring this up. I've been trying to produce pellets regularly since I got Er'cana facilities working. I have, however, taken a small break so my Bevin-mate and I can try out the Bahro recipe. By taking the markings on the control units as "recommended settings" and adjusting all the gauges as close to 50% as I could manage, I've been getting some very satisfactory pellet scores in the mid to high 800's. On the other hand, my Bevin-mate says she gets a stronger reaction from the algae with lower scoring pellets. For when I start steady production again, could anyone suggest settings that will give the best results, from the standpoint of helping the lighting project?
