Transmitter: Difference between revisions

<translate>

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.

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 [[worker]]s using your [[Transformer]] facility but you may also find them in [[Treasure]]s.

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

* Bonuses do not stack. (2*50% gives 2x original value, not 2,25x)

Example

* Rubi: [4]

* 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.

;Rack [[Image:rack.png|32px]]

: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 [[Image:cube_red.png|32px]] [[Image:cube_yellow.png|32px]] [[Image:cube_green.png|32px]] [[Image:cube_blue.png|32px]] [[Image:cube_purple.png|32px]]

:Containers are usually gained when transforming [[worker]]s into scorer parts. They determine the level of the transmitter.

;Bonus [[Image:ext_percent.png|32px]]

: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. It can vary form 10% to 50%, the last being the most rare.

;Extender [[Image:extender2_green.png|32px]] [[Image:extender3_purple.png|32px]]

: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. [[Treasure]]s is currently the easiest way to get them but you may also receive them when transforming [[worker]]s into transmitter parts.

;Crystal mixer [[Image:ext_mixer.png|32px]]

: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.

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.
