Manufactory 50 percent faster?

I upgraded my factory to top level and it says I should get a 50% bonus to manufacturing speed. However if it is a 50% bonus why does it take 40 minutes to do the 500 gears. Shouldn't it take only 30 minutes? Since 30 minutes is 50% of an hour right? I may go submit a bug report and watch plarium change it and say a different kind of bonus. At the current time and rate it is at around 33.3%. Not 50% as it is listed.

Hi. You might not: you are getting a 50% increase in production rate, not in production time. If it takes 1h to produce 500gears, rate is 500/60=8.4gear/min. Now with 50% rate becomes 12.6gear/min. The new production time for 500gears is then 500/12.6~=39.7min which Plarium delightly rounds to 40min. Much fun with your new lvl 5 factory!

Exactly. Original speed + 50% = 1.5 * original speed, so the new time is the original time divided by 1.5, i.e, 1/1.5 of original time, which is the same as 2/3 of original time (the drop by 1/3, as you noticed yourself). To get half the time, you'd need 100% increase in speed.

You have the same thing in training speed bonus obtained by pearls, and in units and galleons travel times.
