Frostpunk

Enter the stress currently shown by your Generator, the hours you plan to keep Overdrive on, and any recovery interval. The community wiki reports default +4 percentage points per hour on and −2 per hour off, but also notes technology/scenario modifiers. The calculator estimates only those entered rates; keep the game's Generator meter authoritative and do not plan around the displayed estimate when a storm or event is running.
