-I got a job IRL so I had lots of less time lately. Guess what? It involves lots of editing and maintenance to databases (or WMS-systems actually)
-I only advanced a week in my Game
-Fitness schedules are back to being weird. All of them have got more fatigue than originally predicted, even Tom Dumoulin.
Therefore I have a new hypothesis:
PCM13 does not predict training fatigue properly. The prediction is far too optimistic, and it probably doesn't take everything into account. Your riders will always incur more fatigue than originally planned if your rider trains at level 4 or higher (fitness level 3 or higher in-game).
You as a player will suffer from this if your planning style is to try and get the most and biggest fitness peaks out of your riders, particularly at the end of the season as the fatigue will have begun to cause major fitness loss.
Edit:
My problem is now that I don't know how to permanently fix this issue. Editing value_i_fat_phy did give a permanent solution. Instead, things seem to have changed back to the original same unexplainable decrease in the curve.
This leads me to believe that the curve calculation is based on a combination of current fitness, training and fatigue levels, coupled with future projected (already false) fitness and fatigue, based on set future training levels. The difference between the originally planned curve and the real curve will probably get bigger as the rider builds up more unprojected fatigue.
Making a solvable solution seems almost impossible since it would mean that I would have to somehow edit out the value that causes the difference (maybe Value_i_NPT? or would it be caused directly by Value_i_fit? or maybe the difference isn't caused by an editable value at all?). Changing the projected curve to match reality seems impossible too as the graph and the calculation formula is probably hard-coded into the game.
I'm all out of ideas, and frankly I don't know if I am able to finish my season like this. Any suggestions would be more than welcome.
