    You can easily get 3 hours for every hour of charging, even over extended periods of time. Although you might experience some issues with your CPU and RAM. And it can negatively impact the device lifespan.

    Over short periods you can get away with even less charging. Although the CPU and RAM issues will get even worse.

      There are also some fuel adjuvants that will increase your duty cycle in the short and mid term, but be careful because they can damage your filters and fuel lines and those are very expensive to replace if you can even find compatible hardware, which is a longshot.

      EDIT: forgot to mention your fuel pump; people tend to overlook it until it gives out or gets clogged. That’s an expensive repair.

        They do improve the issues some, but don’t solve them fully.

        They also delay your human’s internal clock, which can make it more difficult to charge them during the next cycle.

          oh yeah if your engine timing is off it can make the whole system run really rough, even if it’s in otherwise superb condition. That throws a lot of newbies who don’t understand why none of their performance tuning seems to have any effect.

      Ah yes, the uberman charging block. More trouble than it’s worth when you factor in the software and hardware issues it causes.

        The problem for me is that humans all come with a pre-set charging start time. Charging them before that time is damn near impossible. They just won’t start charging, unless they are already dangerously drained.

        But I still need my human operational at 8 am.

        I’m trying to change their internal clock forward every day. They synchronize to how much light they receive.

        But that’s a lot of work. And I don’t really experience CPU and RAM issues unless I try to go over that 3/1 ratio
