Worker
Workers are things that you create by spawning them and then place on matching Fountains to gather Crystals. They can be modulated to other colors and finally transformed to Transmitter Parts.
Workers are your main tool for gathering Crystals.
Spawn (create) workers
You spawn workers in your Primary Color using your Worker Spawner facility.
There is a button beneath the workers in the workers view where you spawn workers.
If the level of your Worker Spawner is higher than 1 you have a chance to get a worker of higher level.
Harvest crystals
You harvest crystals by placing workers on Fountains by clicking on the fountains on the Map
A placed worker collects at the rate of 1 crystal per hour and comes back to you automatically when full or the fountain dries out.
Levels and upgrades
You may merge two workers of the same level to a worker of higher level, but not higher than the level of your Worker Spawner.
Upgraded workers can have improvements:
- Capacity
- How much a worker may carry back to you.
- Concurrency
- Placing your workers at the same fountain as opponent player's workers
- Cooperation
- If you want to place several workers at the same fountain. Specifies how many of your own workers that may already be on a fountain when placing that worker. I.e. you may have a low level worker with no cooperation on a fountain and place another worker having at least cooperation 1, and then place yet another having at least cooperation 2, etc.
How upgrades gets applied
- A worker of level 1 has the default values of a worker: Capacity 4, Concurrency 1 and Cooperation 0.
- A worker of level 2 has increased the value of the first upgrade of the Worker Spawner
- A worker of level 3 has increased both the value of upgrade 1 and 2 on the Worker Spawner
- etc
All your workers can also be improved when you are part of a Team that has Monuments.
Modulate workers (in other colors)
Workers exist in 5 different colors, used for gathering crystals in their color.
You need a Worker Modulator to modulate workers to that color. Then you may select "Modulate Worker" on an idle worker to modulate it to that color. You may only modulate a worker to a "nearby" color. I.e. you might have to modulate it 2 steps to get it to the color you want.
The level of the Worker Modulator limit how many workers you may have of that color. You may have any number of workers in your Primary Color
Transform to Transmitter parts
When you have a Transformer Facility you may transform the worker into Transmitter Parts used for mounting Transmitters. The color and level of the worker affects what you get, but some random is involved too.
