Description: The chart helps you calculate the exact amount of energy to spend for a partial rush build so that the unit is completed on the next turn. If you use the amount that the game suggests you can waste a lot of energy.
The file is in .pdf format (you can use this to open it).

Here is the rush build formula:
Quote
Cost = (M*M)/20 + 2*M
(where M is the number of mins you need to complete the build - doubled if you don't already have the first 10 mins). The game rounds this down to the nearest integer if you buy the full amount; if you buy a partial amount you have to round up the fractional ec's.

If you are looking for things you can conceiveably remember or maybe do in your head, there is a simpler approach which waste a little, but not too much and is easy to remember:

If you need 10 mins (1 standard row), it costs 25 or 2.5 each;
if you need 20 mins (2 standard rows), it costs 60 or 3.0 each;
if you need 30 mins (3 standard rows), it costs 105 or 3.5 each;
if you need 40 mins (4 standard rows), it costs 160 or 4.0 each;
in other words, for each extra row, the unit cost goes up by 0.5 ecs.
If you just pay that amount, you will always have enough (unless you don't have the 1st ten yet) and will only waste a few ecs.

I would like to express  aprcipiateon to this writer just for bailing me out of such a setting. After surfing around throughout the the web and meeting concepts which were not powerful, I thought my life was done. Existing without the answers to the issues you have sorted out by means of the short article is a serious case, as well as the ones which may have in a negative way damaged my entire career if I had not come across your web page. Your own expertise and kindness in maneuvering every aspect was priceless. I am not sure what I would have done if I hadn't discovered such a thing like this. It's possible to at this time look forward to my future. Thanks for your time very much for the specialized and sensible guide. I will not be reluctant to recommend your web blog to anyone who should have care about this matter.

In the borehole pressure mines 100km beneath Planetsurface, at the Mohorovicic Discontinuity where crust gives way to mantle, temperatures often reach levels well in excess of 1000 degrees Celsius. Exploitation of Planet's resources under such brutal conditions has require quantum advances in robotic and teleoperational technology.
