Transmitter

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.)

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.
• Bonus does 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 (round 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.

Container

Containers are usually gained when transforming workers into scorer parts. They determine the level of the transmitter.

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.
