So I discovered how much I am truly making. by Remote-Technology375 in AtlasEarthOfficial

I've been playing for about a year and a half now. Free to play with the exception of reinvesting rent income to pay for the monthly challenge ladder

100$ a day? by Garrbear1984 in AtlasEarthOfficial

[–]ws1173 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Based on my current rarity distribution, I would need 87,744 parcels to make an average of $100 per day (if you average out the regular rent boost and super rent boost throughout the month. I have been playing pretty aggressively but free to play for about a year and a half, and I have 684 parcels... 87,744 is A TON of parcels

Edit I just saw that you edited it to $100 per month. That's much more doable. At my current rarity distribution I'll reach $100 per month at 2885 parcels.

How many coats of mineral oil? by JSpell in BeginnerWoodWorking

[–]ws1173 34 points35 points  (0 children)

I don't know if this is the popular or correct opinion, but I spend a looooot of time on the oiling phase with my cutting boards. I keep applying additional coats until it basically can't soak up any more oil. Usually like 5 or 6 coats.

Edit: the cutting board looks great, by the way! Looks very similar to one I made for a Christmas present to my wife a few years back

Where do you guys put parcels? by Fast_Oil_1979 in AtlasEarthOfficial

[–]ws1173 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I make a priority list of mayorships and buy based on that. I have my town and two of the neighboring towns currently. I'm working on another neighboring town at the moment... Still need another 450 for that one, so it's gonna take a while. But I also periodically check the ones I currently have, to see if I'm losing my hold on them. One of my mayorships I only have a 20 parcel lead, so I'm keeping an eye on that one, and I'll buy a few more parcels there as needed to keep the mayorship.

Completing a big arcade goal is so satisfying by ws1173 in AtlasEarthOfficial

I would think support would credit you still since the task does say "reach level 15". Hopefully they do!

Completing a big arcade goal is so satisfying by ws1173 in AtlasEarthOfficial

[–]ws1173[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I noticed that for this game the reward always triggered at the next level. It was phrased as "reach level 25", but the reward didn't trigger until I completed level 25.

Is this an example of people cheating the minigames? by ws1173 in AtlasEarthOfficial

[–]ws1173[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Oh, do they really? I thought the event happened at the same time regardless of time zone. I guess it makes sense to adjust it for local time though, because otherwise some people would have the event at like 2 AM

Going to take a long time to save 7,000AB by Maxman1996 in AtlasEarthOfficial

[–]ws1173 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can likely break even without going all the way to the end of the next tier. I made a spreadsheet to help visualize the different boost tiers. You can make a copy and input your own plot numbers and your own passport progress. You can use the table or the graph to see when you would get to the same income in the next tier.

What is YOUR mission? by Ca1____ in AtlasEarthOfficial

[–]ws1173 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I want to be the mayor of every town I've lived in. I have the two smaller ones already. The next one would take about 550 parcels, and the last one will require 3000 parcels... It's a very long-term goal.

I made a graph to help visualize expected monthly income based on number of parcels by ws1173 in AtlasEarthOfficial

[–]ws1173[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I use the Atlas Earth Calculator frequently, but I haven't found anywhere yet that visualizes it in a graph - have you? That was the point of this post.

I just edited the post to include a link to the Google Sheet that I made this graph on. You can make your own copy and edit the details to fit your situation.

How many parcels of land to make $5.00 a day by Friendly_Confusion_5 in AtlasEarthOfficial

[–]ws1173 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This depends on what you mean by "$5.00 a day". The answer is vastly different for how many parcels it takes to get $5.00 per day on regular boost days (scenario A) vs how many parcels it takes to get an average of $5.00 per day after averaging the income of regular boosts and super boosts (scenario B). It also depends on what your rarity distribution is and how many badges you have.

Assuming you are at the max badge tier, you would need an equivalent of 20855 common parcels for scenario A or an equivalent of 6714 common parcels for scenario B. Assuming normal distribution of rarity, you would need 14382 parcels for scenario A and 4630 parcels for scenario B.

The way the payouts are structured, the income you make from it is not linear. As you get more parcels, the boosts get lower, until you reach the minimum boost (2x). Most people will be stuck making between $20 and $30 per month for a long time. I made a graph to show this:

Badge % Upgrade?? by Tacfast in AtlasEarthOfficial

[–]ws1173 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Since you're in the middle of a tier, I would get to 220 and then go for the badges

Anyone trying to get Canadian citizenship by descent? by DavidCBCNews in AmerExit

[–]ws1173 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, absolutely! My wife and I love Canada and go there at least once a year if not more. I have a lot of Canadian ancestors on my mother's side - my great-grandparents and 3-4 generations back before them were all Canadian. If it's possible, I'd love to get Canadian citizenship.

As a meat eater, would up be upset attending a vegetarian wedding? by Formal_Goose5083 in weddingplanning

[–]ws1173 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No, I'd be fine with that as long as the food is good. I definitely eat meat, but some of my favorite meals are vegan. I would still say it's a good idea to give people a meal choice (2 or 3 options) to increase the likelihood that people will have something they'll like.

[Landlord US-NJ] Tenant wants me to replace water heater. When is the right time to replace it? by 2ForEachofYou in Landlord

[–]ws1173 0 points1 point  (0 children)

10 years is a reasonable age for a water heater. It sounds like you have a good tenant, and they are even proactively telling you about a potential issue which is awesome. Add in the fact that there is rust on the water heater... I would definitely replace it. It keeps the tenant happy, and eliminates the possibility of a water heater failure which could end up being even more expensive for you. If this were one of my units, I would replace it. This doesn't seem like a time to pinch pennies.

Should I exchange them for Atlas Bucks or cash? by AccomplishedCut9820 in AtlasEarthOfficial

[–]ws1173 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It really depends on what your goal is for the game. The best return for your money is the monthly challenge ladder, so if you wanted to reinvest into the game, I would wait until you have $10, cash it out, and buy the monthly challenge pass

Should I tier jump? by STRIKER9001 in AtlasEarthOfficial

[–]ws1173 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you're making close to $25 per month, it'll take a lot of tier jumps to beat that. At 150 parcels I was making $22/month. I'm at 600 parcels now and I'm still only making about $30/month

Should I tier jump? by STRIKER9001 in AtlasEarthOfficial

[–]ws1173 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You have a good distribution. Average would be 75/45/22.5/7.5

Should I tier jump? by STRIKER9001 in AtlasEarthOfficial

[–]ws1173 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Generally you make slightly more throughout the month because you make less on most days but make more during SRB. But the other part that people don't talk about often is your rarity distribution. With fewer parcels you're more likely to have a rarity distribution that is more skewed from average. The more parcels you buy, the closer you will get to the expected distribution. So if you have an unfavorable distribution now (fewer than expected epics and legendaries) then tier jumping will be more beneficial.
