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.)

Lowest level is [3], so the transmitter value will be 3^2=9
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, 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)
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.
