⚡ What Hamster Wheel does
Every 3 minutes 8 seconds at base weight, the Hamster runs in its wheel for 18 seconds, and crafting is 30% faster while it runs.
The wiki gives a formula for the real average boost: duration ÷ (cooldown + duration) × boost. At base weight that is 18 ÷ 206 × 30%, about 2.6% over time. The wiki estimates about 2.9% for an average hamster.
