More Information on the Engine Test Results

[eecer]

So, for the first time since I purchased this game I have decided to go through all the scenarios. Doing this had made me realize that I have not learned anything about which components control what in the results. For Example, I have been having a horrible time figuring out "Reliability", I can't find anything that increases reliability either. It seems that my reliability either holds at a specific peak or drops bellow that, but I can't find a way to improve it. So I'll build an engine and run a test and then get 55 reliability. I'll go through and try changing different components but I can never get it above 55.

Anyone know of a general breakdown for what results relate to different components in the engine? I've tried looking at the manual for an idea but haven't been able to find any information.

RPM and bore/stroke ratio have an effect on reliability as well as component quality.
Those are the main ones I think.

In the Engine Designer Guide, on page 30, there is a master list of what components affect which stats. That helps a ton!

Thank you! I will definitely dig in there and take a look to get a better idea of what I need to focus on for specific designs!

Very easy to understand Like this.
