This is a weekly, semi-automated post where I will show some statistics and graphs of the development category. It will also serve as a showcase for the staff picks and task requests that were made in the current week. If you have any suggestions or things you'd like to see in this post, then please let me know!

FPL: Updating tests & Minor fixes by @espoem

Espoem has taken it upon himself to start improving my own package fpl. Despite the fact he has never played the game himself, he has done a tremendous job of implementing & improving unit tests and improving the quality of the code as a whole. It's a great example of writing tests for an asynchronous package (especially the mocking)!

Minecolonies & The Crusher by @raycoms

In addition to the changes to the miner and composter Raycoms has also created a worker which allows the colony to produce materials which are difficult to get depending on the location in the world: the crusher. he crusher is able to transform certain vanilla blocks into others - this way he crushes cobblestone to gravel, gravel to sand and sand to clay at the cost of 2:1 each.

Category summary

• There were 17 contributions of which 17 have a chance of being rewarded, or already were rewarded.

Score distribution in the development category

The scores were very top heavy this week, which is great. Everything that has been reviewed received a score of at least 65, which I don't think has happened before - it's great to see the quality going up!

Number of contributions per weekday

As you can see, Tuesday was the day with the most activity in the development category. Friday had the least activity in the entire week.

Average score, reward (STU) and time before review (hours) per week

^{Time before review is the number of hours between the creation of the post and the time it is reviewed by a moderator.}

Unfortunately the average score of contributions is down from 76.5 to 76.0 this week. The average reward has gone down from 46.6 STU to 38.4 STU. Of course with the average score also going down, this was to be expected, although not to this degree. I'm not exactly sure what would've caused this drop in average reward, but if I would guess, it would be because of the exponential voting we use. Basically, last week we had 4 staff picks, so they all received the maximum reward for the category - with the exponential voting this is significantly more than e.g. a contribution with a score of 90. Finally, the number of hours it takes for us to get to a contribution and review it (on average) has gone down slightly from 16.2 hours to 16.0 hours.

Number of contributions reviewed per week

As you can see, the weekly number of reviews is down from 24 to 17. Unfortunately, as I had predicted last week, this seems to be following a trend, as the number of contributions over the last two weeks is also down from 58, in the two weeks prior, to 41. I'm not really sure why there are so few contributions, especially since the age weighting has finally been added, and so contributions have a higher chance of receiving a reward.

Number of unique contributors per week

With the number of reviews going down this week it's really cool to see the number of unique contributors has stayed the same (17)!

Most active contributor(s)

Well, as there were 17 contributions and 17 unique contributors you can guess who was the most "active" - everyone equally!

Moderators

• @amosbastian reviewed 3 contributions with an average score of 75.8.
• @codingdefined reviewed 1 contribution with an average score of 75.5.
• @emrebeyler reviewed 1 contribution with an average score of 82.0.
• @helo reviewed 9 contributions with an average score of 76.6.
• @justyy reviewed 3 contributions with an average score of 72.5.

Once again Helo is the most active moderator out of us all. Also cool to see such high average scores given by everyone.

Number of reviews per weekday

As you can see, Tuesday was the day where we reviewed the most contributions in the development category. Sunday was the day where we reviewed the least.
