Larva Usage Factor, or Why You Might Be Macroing Wrong
Introduction In the 101 post on Larva Economy we looked at larva production and spending larva with some round numbers. In this post we will take a harder look and use more exact numbers. I started writing this as part of the 101 series on production-income matching, and then I fell down a Nydus Wurm and when I came back up it was clearly not 101 material anymore. I also want to note for anyone who doesn't know that Ctrl-Mousescroll or Ctrl +/- will change the zoom level on most browsers so you can see the graphs better.
