I absolutely should not make this post, but something compels me to. Bear with me.

This was the OLD, pre-crash schedule:

Season zero (days 40-48) - Create dot, get 3 boosts available, any of those 3 unused boosts go away at rollover to season 1. (3 total boosts available so far, age = 0)
Season one (day -8) - At season rollover, get 3 boosts available, any of those 3 unused boosts go away at season's end. (6 total boosts available so far, age at season end = 40)
Season two (day -8) - At season rollover, get 3 boosts available, any of those 3 unused boosts go away at season's end. (9 total boosts available so far, age at season end = 80)
Season three (day -8) - At season rollover, get 3 boosts available, any of those 3 unused boosts go away at season's end. (12 total boosts available so far, age at season end = 120)
Season four (day -8) - At season rollover, get 3 boosts available, any of those 3 unused boosts go away at season's end. (15 total boosts available so far, age at season end = 160)
Season five (day -8) - At season rollover, get 3 boosts available, any of those 3 unused boosts go away at season's end. (18 total boosts available so far, age at season end = 200)
Season six (day -8) - At season rollover, get 3 boosts available, any of those 3 unused boosts go away at season's end. (21 total boosts available so far, age at season end = 240)
Season seven (day -8) - At season rollover, get 3 boosts available, any of those 3 unused boosts go away at season's end. (24 total boosts available so far, age at season end = 280)
Season eight (day -8) - At season rollover, get 3 boosts available that do not expire. (27 total boosts available so far, age still = 280)
Season eight (day 1) - Dot enters plateau at age 281. 3 boosts become available, 30 total boosts available so far. ALSO, up to 3 "makeup" boosts become available.

33 boosts in total have been available, only 30 can be used, obviously

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
This is the NEW, post-crash boost schedule as I understand it now:

Day 40 of season zero to day 0 of season one: Create dot. 10 boosts are available. 5 boosts go away if unused by day 1 of season 1. 5 boosts go away if unused by the end of season 1. (10 boosts available so far, age at end of season 1 is 40 days.)
Rollover to season 2 (day -4) : 5 boosts become available that will go away if unused by the end of this season. (15 boosts available so far, age at end of season 2 is 80 days.)
Rollover to season 3 (day -4) : 5 boosts become available that will go away if unused by the end of this season. (20 boosts available so far, age at end of season 3 is 120 days.)
Rollover to season 4 (day -4) : 5 boosts become available that will go away if unused by the end of this season. (25 boosts available so far, age at end of season 1 is 160 days.)
Rollover to season 5 (day -4) : Dot enters plateau at age 160. 5 boosts become available that do not expire. ALSO, up to 5 "makeup" boosts become available that do not expire.

Total boosts available : 35 boosts (only 30 can be used, obviously).

I think it your hypothetical would depend on if you get 5 "regular" boosts on S5 D-4, or if only the 10 "Make Up/Plateau" boosts are available.

Edit: The way it reads it sounds like you should, since you're still D160, and not technically in Plateau until day 1

Slug, I am reasonably sure Bort made a new code that gives "up to" 10 boosts on s5d-4.

This would mean you can only skip 5 boosts (NOT 10) and make them up. It seems extremely unlikely you will get 10 boosts on s5d-4 then an additional 5 boosts on s5d1. If anyone is brave enough to ruin a L64 dot and take them into next season, it'd be easy enough to test though.


P.S. the 5 make-up boosts (and skipping the s0 boosts) is bad for the game and stupid since it causes an unnecessary 10-level-gap, but I digress. It'd be even worse if you could instead skip 10 boosts and have a 15 level gap pre-plateau...

It's pretty simple, Sluggy. You get whatever boosts you need to reach level 79... unless you miss them (boosts) then you'll end up short.

Ryan is right, your dots are all good, you'll get those boosts at season rollover.

I edited my first post, I was wrong about how the final "season 5" looks. It should all go much smoother for everyone going forward, I think, due to the tweaks Bort made to not have the plateau boosts and (up to) 5 makeup boosts show up until season rollover.

Boosting Schedule

Boost when it helps you hit the caps when needed

Make sure you can still get to 30 boosts

You're correct, he just needs to add a line that the max number of utilized boosts is 30, but there are 35 available.
