Why am I only getting 2 karma for 50 kittens?
The calculation in the game is as follows:
You have 50 kittens, this results in 15 karma kittens (an internal calculation value). We then take the square root of 1 plus 8 times karma kittens divided by 5, subtract 1 and divide by 2.
So:
- sqrt( 1 + 8 * 15 / 5 ) = 5
- 5 - 1 = 4
- 4 / 2 = 2
Thus, you get 2 karma points.
The algorithm is explained in the Kittens Game Wiki page about karma.
