A transmitter is a device that sends crystals to your home planet giving you good reputation (score) for a month.

It also increases the credits of your current team when sent. If you are part of a team.

Mounting transmitters

When you mount a transmitter you need 1 rack and 1 crystal container of each type. (Transmitter parts)

You normally get transmitter parts by transforming workers using your Transformer facility but you may also find them in Treasures.

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.)

Modifications:

If a mixer is used: average Level ^ 2
If extenders are used: Sum of equal-colored containers is treated as the total "level" for that color.
Bonuses do not stack. (2*50% gives 2x original value, not 2,25x)

Example

Rubi: [4]
Gelb: [1] + [3] (using extender) = [4]
Hadr: [5]
Azon: [2] + [3] + [1] (extender) = [6]
Movi: [3]

Lowest level is [3], so the transmitter value will be 3^2=9 With mixer, level is (4+4+5+6+3)/5=4,4 so transmitter will be 4,4^2=19,36 (will be rounded up to 20) With mixer and 30% bonus it is 19,36*1,3=25,168 (rounded up to 26)

A recommendation is to have all colors the same level, if you don't use a mixer, so no value is lost.

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.

Part: PArts are usually gained when transforming workers into transmitter parts. They determine the level of the transmitter.

Overclock: Overclock increases the level of the transmitter by the given percentage. An overclock can be found in treasures or gained (randomly) when transforming a worker into transmitter parts. It can vary form 10% to 70%, the last being the most rare.

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 calculating the score.

NOTE: The score is updated once every 6 minutes. Therefore it will not appear immediately.
