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!

Minecolonies & Eating rework by @raycoms

In this contribution @raycoms describes how he reworked Minecolonies' eating process by making them execute an animation and take some time to eat (and not only despawn the food in their inventory).

Category summary

There were 33 contributions of which 31 were, or will be, rewarded.

There were a total of 23 unique contributors in the category. Of those 2 were new contributors in the development category (@voxmortis, @yokunjon).

Score distribution in the development category

Number of contributions per weekday

As you can see Thursday was the day with the most activity in the development category. I wonder why... Saturday had the least activity in the entire week, so if you are scared of competition then this is the day to contribute! Obviously it's not that surpising that this happened in the weekend as you were probably all out doing something else.

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 68.7 to 59.4 this week. The average reward has gone down from 53.9 STU to 43.3 STU. Of course with the average score also going down, this was to be expected. Lastly, the number of hours it takes for us to get to a contribution and review it (on average) has gone up a bit from 11.5 hours to 14.0 hours.

Number of contributions reviewed per week

As you can see the weekly number of reviews is down from 38 to 33. However, the number of contributions over the last two weeks (71) is up from the number of contributions in the two weeks prior to that (62).

Contributors

Number of unique contributors per week

With the number of reviews going down this week it's unfortunately not that surprising to see the number of unique contributors go down quite a lot from 35 to 23 either.

Number of reviews per weekday

As you can see Sunday, Monday, Wednesday and Thursday were the days where we reviewed the most contributions in the development category. Saturday was the day where we reviewed the least. I'm sorry if you submitted your contribution on that day and had to wait a while for your review, but at least now you when we are the most active, haha. Despite being programmers we surprisingly still have lives, so this happening on the first day of the weekend shouldn't be that surprising (hopefully). It probably also has something to do with there being a low number of contributions submitted that day in the first place.
