Score

This is the score that will determine the BEST Robotics Team Champion for the 2023 Refugee Crisis Challenge.

Basic Analytics (Press the 'b' Key to activate and deactivate)

Your Score is the uncapped score which is potentially the highest value scoring portion of the 2023 BEST Robotics - Refugee Crisis Challenge. Regional and National winners will likely be the teams that maximize this metric. Your Score also referred to as a Distribution Score is a growing (never-shrinking) testament to your hard work, ingenuity, creativity, planning, exploring, problem solving and teamwork. At all times your Score will be tracked and displayed when you are on the Village Plot and you press the 'B' key. This will toggle the scoring analytics and provide the following information:

Polycraft Village (+Total Score) <-- This is the Score

• <Structures: xx> <-- This is a current count of the total number of structures including houses and Community Buildings. Note each floor is considered a separate structure.
• [Population: xxx] <-- This is the current Population Capacity of your Village Plot as currently engineered across all Technology Levels.
• {Happiness: xx} <-- This is the current average Happiness of all of your Villagers at all Technology Levels.

These top-level metrics allow your team to track when a new House or Community Buildings are constructed and become valid structures, or when others get demolished.

Advanced Distribution Scoring (Press the 'v' Key to activate and deactivate)

Legend: (+Age Score) <Age Structures Count> [Age Population Capacity] {Age Average Efficiency} | Timestamp when highest Age Score occurred.

Highpoints (Round 2)

• Level 8: (+xxx) <xxx> [xxx] {xxx} | Timestamp
• Level 7: (+xxx) <xxx> [xxx] {xxx} | Timestamp
• Level 6: (+xxx) <xxx> [xxx] {xxx} | Timestamp
• Level 5: (+xxx) <xxx> [xxx] {xxx} | Timestamp

Highpoints (Round 1)

• Level 4: (+Level Score) <xxx> [xxx] {xxx} | Timestamp
• Level 3: (+Level Score) <xxx> [xxx] {xxx} | Timestamp
• Level 2: (+Level Score) <xxx> [xxx] {xxx} | Timestamp
• Level 1: (+Level Score) <xxx> [xxx] {xxx} | Timestamp

Your Score will be the summation of these 8 individual Age Scores. Note that the scoring scales by technology age and population density, so teams behind after Phase 1, can make up lots of ground in Phase 2.

The Score is simple to calculate, but takes many things into account for a holistic picture of the grandiosity of your Logistics Nexus. The Score combines 1) the Population, 2) the Efficiency, and 3) the Technology Levels of your Polycraft Village. Every time new refugees arrive, the Technology Level Score is calculated for every Technology Level separately and for the Complex as a whole. The summation of all peak Technology Level Scores is your Score.

Peak Score: For the BEST Leaderboards, the peak score reached at any point in time during the Round will count for each score. So, if you build a large Dirt house complex at Level 1 and then demolish all of your Dirt houses later to make room, your Peak Technology Level 1 Score will be saved. Similarly, if you don't build a large Dirt, Wood, or other Polycraft Village at a given Technology Level you could always go back later and build up these structures if you wanted to boost your score for that particularly Technology Level.

Pro tip: It pays to invest a bit to build a good Polycraft Village at each Technology Level, as once you move on to the next level it will generally be better to keep expanding at more advanced levels than to go backwards.
