I got the following:
9.3M money
6.5M armies
5 copper wire

For a 500% cache or something (assuming a FC power is 100%), that seems really really low.
Not even enough to capture a single territory.

Is this just a bug in WZ where we actually get a 5% cache instead?

How much does a FC power reward you?
I know you have a lot of those, you can afford to devote one into science ;)

How dare you suggest that?!? I only have 827 of them... :(

Free Cache power:
47M money
28M armies
31 copper wire

EDIT:
From the top of my head, FC power = income/s * 1800 * RNG(0.7 to 1.3)

So approximately CW cache gives you 20% of the FC.
I assume that math for cache boosts is applied proportionally.

400% != 20%

CW cache is bugged - confirmed.

I actually managed to check a few caches myself (two from CW, one from seasonal)



Yes, they are fundamentally underperforming compared to expectations.

Xeno did some quick maths on Discord, and concluded that the caches give roughly 10% of their expected value.

Fizzer has confirmed its indeed broken, and should be fixed soon™

Fixed with retro pay?

I think a free legendary fog buster would be a fair compensation for everyone.

Thats because the 500% is not for you, it's distributed for all (usually just 40 or idk.) players who played cw.

You just get a little piece from it.

I checked the artifact and got 640% as expected. I don't have a complete test case with all the required info from Ladder/CW:
- Army production when cache is received
- Cache Boost % from tech/artis/CW Rewards/Ladder Rewards/etc
- Size of the cache received

My initial thought was misplaced decimal point 600% = 0.6 instead of 6 so division by 10 which sorts of fitted the pic that was posted on discord and reminded me of the Hospital Boost bug. Since the artifact/FC works I'm leaning towards it only affecting a GenerateGift() routine which seems to be how the CW/Ladder and other "external" rewards are received.

Based on FiveSmith chart my best guess is that everything cache related calls a shared GenerateCache() routine but the gift routine since it can generate powers/artifacts/caches/AP/etc was made to be as generic and as possible. I would not be surprised if on the GenerateGift part for cache he did not hard code 30 minutes and made it a generic (60 * minutes * %Multiplier) instead of (1800 * %Multiplier) like with artis/powers. Based on 5S chart above seems like he did a 1-minute cache for CW/Ladder.
