A transmitter is a device sending crystals back to your home planet.
Building transmitters
When you mount a transmitter you need at least a rack and crystal containers of all types. (Transmitter parts)
You normally get transmitter parts by transforming workers using your worker to transmitter parts transformer facility.
The level (= score) of the transmitter is the lowest value of a crystal container in a color and then squared. (Example: Cubes of level 2,3,4,3,4 gives you 2 as the lowest and then squared, 2 * 2 = 4.)
Transmitter parts
- Rack
- A place to mount the various cubes (containers). The rack can be found in treasures or gained (randomly) when transforming a worker into scorer parts.
- Container
- Containers are usually gained when transforming workers into scorer parts. They determine the level of the transmitter. See Scoring
- Bonus
- Bonus increases the level of the transmitter by the given percentage. A bonus can be found in treasures or gained (randomly) when transforming a worker into scorer parts.
- Extender
- Increases the number of cubes of that type that may be added. The sum of the cube's level counts. Exists in 2 and 3-level variants. Treasures is currently the easiest way to get them but you may also receive them when transforming workers into transmitter parts.
- Crystal mixer
- Takes the average value of the crystal containers instead of the lowest. Useful when you have big ones in some colors but not in others.
Placing transmitters
A transmitter is placed on your current location and is then used for caculating the score.
