The Right Way would be a formula that's easier to solve for total_resources_spent. Sort of hard for people to estimate, as it is now. If anyone wonders, the solution for total_resources_spent is (with total_re... = t and PU = p)
t = p ^ 2 / 16LambertW(-p/4)^2

Try to estimate that in your head.

PS! If anyone wonders why you would want to do that, it's to estimate how much you could spend in n ticks with m factories. So you don't screw up your spend before round end like mz did! (In like round 23 or something?)

Oh crap, I might be back. I should take my own advice.
