안녕하세요. 내가 조금 한국어를 합니다. 그러므로 영어를 씁니다.

The training grounds were changed last night, so I did an analysis of the costs and benefits of training in the new grounds.

This analysis is done of using the grounds independently. You will achieve medals faster by supplementing with the training grounds, but the costs of the training grounds are independent.

Assumptions: Super Soldier (SS) medal is awarded after +250 strength, and that medal comes with a +5 gold reward. Initial construction costs are ignored as insignificant. Average exchange rate is 520.00 KRW per gold.

Climbing Center
Strength gain: +2.5 str
Days to receive SS medal: 100
Expense / day: 0.19 gold
Revenue / day: 0.05 gold
Loss / day: 0.14 gold (₩72.80)
Cost / strength: 0.056 gold (₩29.12)

Shooting Range
Strength gain: +5 str
Days to receive SS medal: 50
Expense / day: 1.49 gold
Revenue / day: 0.1 gold
Loss / day: 1.39 gold (₩722.80)
Cost / strength: 0.278 gold (₩144.56)

Special Forces
Strength gain: +10 str
Days to receive SS medal: 25
Expense / day: 1.79 gold
Revenue / day: 0.2 gold
Loss / day: 1.59 gold (₩826.80)
Cost / strength: 0.159 gold (₩82.6😎

So, in order of cost, the training grounds is best, followed by the Climbing Center, the Special Forces, and then the Shooting Range.

It will, of course, be up to you to decide if training in the grounds are worth it for you.
