Why Energy Matters More Than PIXEL

In Pixels, you can earn PIXEL through trading, but energy is scarcer — it regenerates slowly over time or must be restored by consuming food. When energy runs out, all gathering, planting, and crafting stops, so every energy point should go toward the highest return.

Many players watch only the "sell minus materials" profit and ignore the hidden cost of restoring energy. When grinding levels heavily, the cost of energy food can eat most of your profit — or even turn a paper gain into a real loss. Only by including energy cost do you see true net profit.

Energy Consumption: Don't Forget Intermediates

The energy to make a product isn't just the final step. If it requires pre-made intermediates (smelt Bars, craft parts, then assemble), every intermediate craft consumes energy too — the sum is the product's true energy cost.

This site totals the energy of every non-raw node (the product plus all intermediate components), not just the final step. The number you see reflects reality, so you never underestimate the energy burden of high-tier recipes.

Recovery Sources: Compare by Cost Per Energy

Energy foods and wines vary widely in energy restored per serving and market price. When choosing a source, don't just look at "which restores the most" — look at cost per energy point (price ÷ restoration). The lower this ratio, the more cost-effective the source.

For example, a premium wine restoring 1000 energy but costing 5M is 5000 per energy point; another restoring 215 for just 16K is about 74 per point — vastly cheaper. Picking the right source is the single biggest lever on leveling cost.

Use the Energy Recovery Calculator

This site's Energy Recovery Calculator lists every energy-restoring food and wine in a grid, each showing energy-per-serving and market price, sorted by restoration. Pick one as your source and it's saved (persists across refreshes); its name is click-to-copy for quick market search.

Once selected, it integrates with the Skill Levels page: when calculating a skill's leveling cost, the system computes how many bottles you need to reach your target XP, the wine cost, and subtracts it from net profit.

True Net Profit, Including Wine

The Skill Levels income statement shows a full flow: Sell (revenue) − Material (cost) − Wine (energy cost) = Net. Green means leveling still earns; red means the skill currently costs you to grind. It's the clearest way to judge.

A negative net usually means one of two things: materials are too expensive, or your energy source is too expensive. Fix the first by switching recipes or waiting for prices to drop; fix the second by choosing a source with lower cost-per-energy.

體力管理指南：選對恢復來源，升級不虧本

體力是 Pixels 最珍貴的資源，比 PIXEL 還難補。本文教你計算製作的真實體力成本、挑選最划算的酒與食物，讓刷等級不再默默虧錢。

為什麼體力比 PIXEL 還重要

在 Pixels Online 裡，PIXEL 代幣可以透過交易賺取，但體力（Energy）卻是一種更稀缺的資源——它需要時間自然恢復，或是消耗食物來補充。一旦體力耗盡，你的採集、種植與製作全都得停下，所以每一點體力都應該花在「回報最高」的地方。

許多玩家只盯著配方的「售價減材料」利潤，卻忽略了補體力的隱形成本。事實上，當你大量刷等級時，補體力的酒錢可能吃掉大部分利潤，甚至讓你帳面賺、實際虧。把體力成本算進來，才是真正的淨利。

體力消耗：別忘了中間材料

製作一個成品所消耗的體力，不只是「最後一步」那次製作。如果這個成品需要先做好幾個中間材料（例如先煉 Bar、再做零件、最後組裝），那麼每一個中間元件的製作都會消耗體力，全部加起來才是這個成品的真實體力成本。

本站在計算體力時，會把所有非原料的節點（成品 + 中間加工元件）的體力全部加總，而不是只算最後一步。這讓你看到的體力數字反映真實情況，避免低估了刷高階配方的體力負擔。

恢復來源：用「每點體力的成本」來比較

補體力的食物與酒類五花八門，每瓶恢復的體力量（energy）與市場售價都不同。挑選恢復來源時，不能只看「哪瓶恢復最多」，而要看「每一點體力花多少錢」——也就是售價除以恢復量。這個比值越低，代表這個來源越划算。

舉例來說，一瓶恢復 1000 體力但要價 5M 的高級酒，每點體力成本是 5000；另一瓶恢復 215 體力但只要 16K 的酒，每點體力成本只有約 74。後者其實划算非常多。挑對恢復來源，是控制升級成本最關鍵的一步。

用體力恢復計算機挑來源

本站的「體力恢復計算機」把所有可恢復體力的食物與酒列成一個網格，每格顯示「每瓶恢復體力量」與「市場售價」，並依恢復量排序，讓你快速比較。選定一個當作你的恢復來源後，系統會把它記住（跨開關保留），名稱還可點擊複製方便去市場搜尋。

選好來源後，它會與技能等級頁深度整合：當你計算某個技能的升級成本時，系統會自動算出刷到目標 XP 需要幾瓶酒、酒錢多少，並把這筆成本扣進淨利。

含酒成本的「真實淨利」

技能等級頁的收支表會清楚呈現一條完整的損益流程：售價（收入）− 材料（成本）− 酒錢（補體力成本）= 淨利。綠色代表升級還能賺錢，紅色代表這個技能目前刷起來是倒貼的。這是最一目了然的判斷方式。

當你發現某個配方的淨利是負的，通常代表兩種情況之一：材料太貴，或補體力的酒太貴。前者可以換配方或等價格回落，後者可以換一個「每點體力成本」更低的恢復來源。靈活調整，才能讓升級之路不虧本。

實戰省體力的小技巧

幾個實用的省體力原則：第一，優先刷「XP 效率高」的配方，用更少的製作次數達成升級目標，自然消耗更少體力。第二，盡量自製便宜的恢復來源——如果你有烹飪技能，自己做恢復體力的食物，往往比市場買酒更省錢。第三，規劃好一次遊戲時段的體力預算，把體力分配給採集、製作與收成三類活動，避免失衡。

最後，善用本站把「XP 效率」與「體力成本」一起看：在技能等級頁輸入剩餘 XP、選好恢復來源，比較各配方的淨利與所需酒瓶數，挑淨利為正且酒瓶數合理的配方來刷。讓每一點體力都花得有價值，是高效玩家與一般玩家最大的差別。
