=== '''Calculating recipe tiers''' ===

Finding the tier of a recipe is simple enough, however it's a little more complex when you try to use equations. We all know 1-32v is LV, 33-128 is MV, and so on, but putting this in a formula is a little ~~more complex~~. The basic idea is to use something that equates to a base 4 log to calculate amounts of times that the voltage is 4x over 8v. Rounding this value up will give you the tier, for values 8v and above.

The basic idea is to use something that equates to a base 4 log to calculate amounts of times that the voltage is 4x over 8v. Rounding this value up will give you the tier, for values 8v and above. If you are using a program with loops, you can set this up the way GT would use, however I'm not going to be explaining that here. The idea would be simply to replace logs with a loop that will determine the same value the log does.

Roundup(log((Recipe_Voltage/8), base 4)). This applies a tier value of 1 to anything 9-32, a value of 2 to anything between 33-128, and so on. The one fault here comes with how values of 8 and below behave. One option is to use a max value function, to keep the tier value always at 1 or above.
