Another museum bug - stealing oil...

[kgaskell01]

I am able to determine the calculations for vault oil capacity:

Given:
Base: 2,400
University Bonus: Montezuma +70%
Artifact Bonus: +14%
Vault oil capacity = 2,400+2,400*.7+2,400*.14+6,000+2,000=12,416
This is consistent with what I see. I was able to deposit 12,416 oil.

What I could not determine is the calculation for vault interest.

The vault management post by TinSoldier - 6.2 Vault Changes 03-14-2018, 09:45 PM stated:
“After 24 hours, the 5% interest (from Savings, Chapter 1) is still added on top of the total deposited!”

I assume the same is true for the artifact interest, so
Given:
Oil deposit: 12,416
Standard Interest rate: +5%
Artifact bonus interest rate: +9% = (7% + 2%)
Oil withdrawal amount = 12,416+12,416*.05+12,416*.09=14,154
Which is NOT what is available for withdrawal. The amount available is: 13,963.

I then noticed that even though I deposited 12,416 into the vault, it was now showing only 12,248. Using this value as the amount in the vault is consistent with what I am seeing in the interest calculations:

12248+12248*.14=13963

I had removed my vault capacity artifacts from display. This removed the additional 9%. This does NOT warrant taking away 168 of my oil that I deposited.

Yet another bug in the Museum release.

Hm, when you remove the artifact increasing your vault capacity, don't be surprised, that your vault capacity has decreased... Are you sure that the 168 oil you had in the vault "above" your vault capacity when you have removed your artifact just simply didn't go back to your oil refinery?

 

[kgaskell01]

Not sure, but I personally doubt it. Currently, it’s not behaving that way. The amount deposited is still there even though I have different artifacts on display.

 

[pckrn]

remove capacity artifact, capacity is decreased. makes perfect sense to me

 

[kgaskell01]

Not happening currently. Put oil in with capacity artifacts on, then took them off and the a,punt stayed the same.

 

[sileepuppee]

What I do is deposit the oil and 24 hours later when it’s time to collect but right before I collect, I switch to vault interest pottery and that automatically adjusts the interest amount higher so I get that higher amount. With that being said, the fact that adding in oil and then removing the vault capacity pottery is causing a decrease doesn’t surprise me.

TinSoldier Museum vault conundrum:
So here is the kicker.
I can manipulate the oil to deposit the higher level, (in my case it was 12538) but then switched to a different jug to get better oil well production and saw only 12238 in my vault. My base oil stayed the same, so I didn’t get the 300 oil back. When I change it for the interest boost, it should boost the original deposit value, but it only recognizes the lower amount because that artifact is no longer showing.

Essentially you are removing the additional bonus vault capacity % but then taking it out of the game (and my greedy pockets) when the artifact is removed.
How can we build our equity if we are unable to increase our base investment and then the interest rate (unless they happen to be on the same artifact of course) - and where is our stolen oil?

 

[Snickers]

It does not reappear in my oil refinery account. It’s just lost in the game, showing back up when you put the jug in the slot again.
When you put money in a vault, it ALL should be there. Not dependent on the color of the shirt you’re wearing that day.
And without that base, the interest is calculated on a lower deposit amount - and your oil is still GONE.

I got this one too, wanted to complain but strangely it fixed itself the next day, could collect my vault interest. I didn't swap any artifacts atm. Magical

Still waiting for an acknowledgement of this bug. The game still takes the oil out of my inventory when putting into the vault. Why is the Vault value not remaining at the elevated level? Why are we not able to collect the interest on the deposited oil value at the time of maturity just like you only need the museum piece on display when clicking on the forest expansion to get the refund?
A bank doesn’t reduce your deposited funds because of the tie you are (or are not) wearing. I now estimate I’ve lost several thousand oil over the course of this museum bug.
At least comment on recognition of the error so we can know you’re trying to fix it.
