/* career.science.sandbox */

Overall Multiplier: 1.05
/* The "Master Switch" for nearly ever time formula. Generally, doubling this doubles how long everything takes,
and halving it makes everything take half as long. */

Build Effect: 1.075
/* Defines how much using the same parts across builds should reduce build times (encourages using similar designs).
In "Default" this multiplied by the number of times a part is used is in the denominator of the BP formula (the formula
that determines how many Build Points, aka BP, a vessel costs. Essentially the number of Kerbal-hours required to build the vessel)*/

Inventory Effect : 10
/* Defines how much of an effect using parts from the Inventory should have on build times. In "Default" this is in
the denominator of the BP formula. It is 0 if the part is not being used from the Inventory. */

Reconditioning Effect : 1.05
/* Defines how the Build Point cost of reconditioning and rollout is affected by mass. */

Max Reconditioning : 200
/* Defines a maximum Build Point value for reconditioning and rollout. */

EffectivePartFormula = "min([C]/([I] + ([B]*([U]+1))), [C])"
    Purpose: Controls the “effective cost” of a part for determining build point values.
    Variables: C=cost, c=dry cost, M=wet mass, m=dry mass, U=part tracker, O=overall multiplier, I=inventory effect (0 if not in inv), B=build effect

BPFormula = "([E]^(1/2))*2000*[O]"
    Purpose: Determines the actual BP value of a craft from the total effective cost.
    Variables: E=total effective cost, O=overall multiplier

    Variables: N=num upgrades, I=rate index (0 based), L=VAB/SPH upgrade level, R=R&D level, S=Number of unlocked tech nodes, All "Crew Variables"
    Note: This uses some tricks to achieve various goals. First, the max() section sets the first build rate to start at 0.1 and all the others to start at 0. Second, the *sign() section limits the number of rates you can have based on the VAB upgrade level (2 rates at level 0, 4 rates at 1, 6 at 2). It works because a negative rate is considered "disabled"
