Workers are things that you create by spawning them and then place on matching [[Fountain]]s to gather [[Crystal]]s. They can be upgraded, modulated to other colors and finally transformed to [[Transmitter Part]]s.
Workers are entities you create in the [[Worker Spawner]]. Their main use is gathering [[Crystal]]s from matching [[Fountain]]s. They can also be merged into higher level, modulated to other colors and finally transformed into [[Transmitter Part]]s.


Workers are your main tool for gathering [[Crystal]]s.

You spawn workers in your [[Primary Color]] using your [[Worker Spawner]] facility. If the level of your Worker Spawner is higher than 1 you have a chance to get a worker of higher level, at maximum the level och the [[Worker Spawner]].

There is a button beneath the workers in the workers view where you spawn workers. By tapping it, you can create a new worker of your attuned color.

After spawning the first worker, a countdown will appear next to the Spawn Worker. When it reaches 0, a new worker can be built for free. Then, another countdown will begin, and so on.

The recharging time will grow bigger with the current number of workers you have.

Instead of waiting for free recharge, crystals can be paid for more workers (note: this option won't increase the waiting time). The prices are:

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.

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.

When you have a [[Transformer]] [[Facility]] you may transform the worker into [[Transmitter Part]]s used for mounting [[Transmitter]]s. The color and level of the worker affects what you get, but some random is involved too.
When you have a [[Transformer]] [[Facility]] you may transform the worker into [[Transmitter Part]]s used for mounting [[Transmitter]]s. The color and level of the worker affects what you get, but randomness is involved too.
 
Some notes about the probabilities:
* The probability of getting multiple items increases with the worker level.
* The probability of the level of transmitter part level also matches level of worker.
* You are most likely to get transmitter parts in the same color as the worker. (Probability ratio about 19 to 1 for the parts you get)
* The level of the worker and level of transformer facility increases the chances for racks, bonuses and extenders.
* You are guaranteed to get at least one thing.
