== Building transmitters ==
[[Image:Trans_transmitter.png|128px]]
When you build a transmitter you need at least a rack and a crystal cube of each color.


The level (= score) of the transmitter is the lowest value of a crystal cube 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.)

<!--T:1-->
A transmitter is a device that sends crystals to your home planet giving you good reputation (score) for a month.


=== Transmitter components ===
<!--T:2-->
;Rack
It also increases the credits of your current team when sent. If you are part of a team.
 
== Mounting transmitters == <!--T:3-->
When you mount a transmitter you need 1 rack and 1 crystal container of each type. (Transmitter parts)
 
<!--T:4-->
You normally get transmitter parts by transforming [[worker]]s using your [[Transformer]] facility but you may also find them in [[Treasure]]s.
 
<!--T:5-->
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.)
 
<!--T:6-->
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.
* Bonuses do not stack. (2*50% gives 2x original value, not 2,25x)
 
<!--T:7-->
Example
* Rubi: [4]
* Gelb: [1] + [3] (using extender) = [4]
* Hadr: [5]
* Azon: [2] + [3] + [1] (extender) = [6]
* Movi: [3]
 
<!--T:8-->
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)
 
<!--T:9-->
A recommendation is to have all colors the same level, if you don't use a mixer, so no value is lost.

;Rack [[Image:Trans_part_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.

;Cube
<!--T:11-->
:Cubes are usually gained when transforming workers into scorer parts. They determine the level of the transmitter. See [[Scoring]]
;Part [[Image:Trans_part_red.png|32px]] [[Image:Trans_part_yellow.png|32px]] [[Image:Trans_part_green.png|32px]] [[Image:Trans_part_blue.png|32px]] [[Image:Trans_part_purple.png|32px]]
:PArts are usually gained when transforming [[worker]]s into transmitter parts. They determine the level of the transmitter.
 
<!--T:12-->
;Overclock [[Image:Trans_part_booster.png|32px]]
:Overclock increases the level of the transmitter by the given percentage. An overclock can be found in treasures or gained (randomly) when transforming a worker into transmitter parts. It can vary form 10% to 70%, the last being the most rare.
 
<!--T:13-->
;Extender [[Image:Trans_splitter_2.png|32px]] [[Image:Trans_splitter_3.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.
 
<!--T:14-->
;Crystal mixer [[Image:Trans_part_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.


;Bonus
== Placing transmitters == <!--T:15-->
: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.
A transmitter is placed on your current location and is then used for calculating the score.


== Placing transmitters ==
<!--T:16-->
A transmitter is placed on your current location and is then used for caculating the score.
'''NOTE''': The score is updated once every 6 minutes. Therefore it will not appear immediately.
