PoB Siege Mechanics

[Laz]

People on Discord were poking me to explain how the PoB repair system actually works, so I'll quickly state that. From my experience most people think it works like this:

• Every 20 seconds the base will run a repair cycle.
• This repair cycle will do the following: 60000 (now 6000) * by the core level * the amount of different repair commodities it has

However, this is not how it works. This is how the code actually does stuff:

• Every 20 seconds do the following:
• Run the 1 repair cycle per core level
• For every repair cycle check if the base is above the max health - if it is, conduct no more repair cycles and set the base to max health.
• If the base is not above max health, take away one lot of materials and then continue to the next cycle, if applicable.
• If the base reaches the end of its cycles (let's pretend it's a core 4 for the sake of this example) and it's still not at full health, it will repeat this after another 20 seconds.
• This means it will have done four repair cycles, consuming four lots of a single material type (assuming that type did not run out.
