[Twinsen][2.0.47] Railgun Tooltip gives wrong shooting speed

Railgun shooting speed is not accurately reflected in the tooltip.
What did you do?
Placed railgun down on a lab surface and attached a decider combinator and made it count ticks between shots while making a worm invulnerable in front of it

Based on the below tool tip I would expect the turret to fire every 120 ticks

It actually fires every 169 ticks

Furthermore the tooltip at research level 4 for railgun shooting speed is .5+.36 = .86/s. This is the speed it shoots at level 24 not 4. At shooting speed 24 it shoots at 69 ticks which is .86/s.
At level 4 it actually shoots at 116 ticks.

yes saw that one but didn't really think that was the same thing. That was related to research and shooting speed, this is about the tooltip itself being incorrect at level 1 and then showing level 24 speed at level 4 on the tooltip

Yes, it is Animation time that you’re measuring empirically
Try again with the Short Animation mod - your numbers should come pretty close to the Tooltips.

I don't really see it that way if it was all animation time then the shooting speed wouldn't increase at all with higher researches. If it's deemed a duplicate so be it, but wanted to point out that the tooltip is misleading on the speed you can expect

(I think, haven’t checked this tick-by-tick in recent versions) Other entities work by skipping frames; the Railgun’s animation looks really weird if you do this, so instead it scales the timings.

Thanks for the report. This should be fixed in Version: 2.0.54.
This should fix the number, the bonus and the maximum value when the shooting speed is capped by animation.
