The '''Statue of Cubos''' is a building you use to fight bosses.
{{clear|left}}
==Building Tiers==
Upgrading the Statue of Cubos in the [[Construction Firm]] will unlock more module slots.

Bosses are unlocked by upgrading [[Military Tier|military tiers]].

==Bosses==
Boss fights are unique fights that each play very differently than the core game loop. Each one is based on a different game genre and contains different game mechanics.

The boss menu select screen is to the left, where upon clicking the screen opens the boss selection menu. On the bottom next to the fight button are arrows to increase the tier of boss you wish to fight. Click to go up by 1 tier, or shift-click to go up by 100 (or to your highest tier if lower than 100).

The first 4 bosses have a set of boss modules you can use in the fight to greatly increase your power, unlocked by acquiring all the linked modules listed next to them. These give certain abilities to the Tower that increase in power with their tier (upgraded using Statue resources) and combat experience (obtained by killing the respective boss with it equipped). The final boss will not have boss modules, and will instead get a hard mode for those that want the challenge.

Higher tier bosses will gain new abilities at tiers 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, and 21 (following the Fibonacci sequence), as well as a slight increase to their base stats at each tier. This aims to keep the challenge of higher tier bosses fun, and avoid them feeling monotonous or like a slog to complete.

Defeating bosses will award you with exotic gems, combat experience and maybe even an artifact or two, and can even grant achievements under certain conditions.

A helpful tool for quickly calculating boss xp gain can be found here.

====Fight Description====
Cylindro is a large cylinder who will try to attack you with headbutts and water-storms, which can be dodged by moving to adjacent pillars. Headbutts deal a base of 25% damage while waterstorms deal a base of 50% damage on hit, so try not to get hit too much if you don’t have Idle Nanobots or Hardened Shell.

Cylindro will spin at least 2 times before performing an attack, alternating between clockwise and counter-clockwise. '''Cylindro spins significantly faster as his health gets low''', reducing the amount of downtime between his attacks and forcing the player to dodge more often.

To damage Cylindro you need to fire missiles at him, which will cost energy. (No energy = no missiles)
You cannot fire missiles while moving between pillars unless you have Epic Gyroscope equipped. However, even without it you will still fire a single missile on jumping to a new platform if the fire button is held while moving due to you shooting during the single frame you are on the pillar.

Green powerups will spawn periodically on random pillars and will restore energy when picked up.

====Boss Abilities====

*Tier 2: Cylindro's slam will turn the focused pillar red which will make the tower jump more slowly on and off of it.
*Tier 3: Cylindro will sometimes spin rapidly before summoning damaging geysers on every pillar in the arena except for 2 of them. The 2 safe pillars will be highlighted in green and will always appear on opposite sides of the map to one another.
*Tier 4: Cylindro makes all three slammed pillars red when headbutting them instead of just one.
*Tier 5: Sometimes after a slam, Cylindro will spin around the stage, damaging you if you touch him.
*Tier 8: Cylindro will occasionally spawn a geyser on a random pillar which will erupt after some time and damage the tower if they are on it.
*Tier 13: Cylindro will gain an invincible shield that spins around him and blocks projectiles. He gains extra shields at tiers 20 and 30, at which point the 3 shields combined will cover the vast majority of his body.
*Tier 21: Cylindro's wave cannon attacks become much more chaotic.

====Fight Description====
The fight with Cubos Jr. takes place in a large, 7x7 arena made of 49 squares. The game progresses each beat in time with the music, meaning Cubos Jr. and the tower can only move or perform an action on the beat. Cubos Jr. will move erratically, sometimes chasing the player and sometimes running around in the same area of the battlefield for a while.

The tower can attack Cubos Jr. by dropping bombs. The tower can only have 1 bomb on field at a time (unless Micro Bombs is equipped), and bombs explode in the 5 orthogonally adjacent tiles (increased to all 9 adjacent squares with Scattering) after 3 beats. Only 1 bomb can exist on each tile, and you can only drop 1 bomb per move.

Cubos Jr. has 2 initial attacks: an earth shockwave that hits all 9 adjacent tiles and a fire attack that hits all tiles in the 4 orthogonal directions (up, down, left & right). All of his attacks (including ones gained at higher tiers) have a delay of 4 beats before occurring, giving the player time to get out of the way.
Cubos Jr. will occasionally ignite himself and leave a trail of fire that damages the tower if they walk into it. You '''will''' take damage from colliding with Cubos Jr., so ramming facefirst into the boss is highly unadvised and will usually end in the tower’s untimely death unless you are using Healthy Bombs and can outheal Cubos Jr.’s damage.

====Boss Abilities====

*Tier 2: Cubos Jr. can now use a diagonal fire attack.
*Tier 3: Cubos Jr. can fly directly above the middle of the board before creating a ring of fire around the outer edge of the board which will damage the tower if they enter it for a while until it dissipates.
*Tier 5: Cubos Jr. gains a dash attack where he digs down and travels 4 squared in any direction (will not go out of bounds) before resurfacing, damaging the tower if Cubos Jr. travels through it. Attack will leave a fiery trail if Cubos Jr was ablaze during the attack.
*Tier 8: Cubos Jr. will now combine his orthogonal and diagonal fire attacks and use both at the same time.
*Tier 13: Creates a lava crack at the center of Cubos Jr.'s earth attacks. The crack can be cleared by attacking it with a bomb, but if the crack was not cleared after 30 turns it turns into a pile of lava, no longer removable, last until the end of the fight, and can damage the tower if the tower steps on it.
*Tier 21: Cubos Jr. will rapidly jump, creating a row of fire that travels the span of the arena, alternating from right-left to left-right every column.

'''<big><big>Thorus</big></big>'''

Unlike other Bosses, which need only an Military Tier requirement, Thorus, in addition to needing MT15, needs to have all Infinity Stones active on a special toggle perk at the bottom of infinity perk list (This is not required after the first defeat).
This boss currently only has 1 tier

'''<big>Info</big>'''

"It calls itself Thorus...
Maybe this wasn't such a good idea after all..."

*'''Cloud Save Insurance:''' Costs {{cost|1e50|Black}}
*'''Local Save Insurance:''' Costs {{cost|1e60|Black}}
*'''Account Insurance:''' Costs {{cost|1e70|Black}}

'''<big>Fight Overview</big>'''

The fight can take a very long time, depending on your speed. You casts different spells to buff yourself, weaken boss, or hurt the boss. each spell requires a series of inputs from the arrow keys, and energy.
Thorus has 5 moves it can do, a neutral attack where he shoots projectiles that deal the same amount of damage as it takes energy to kill them, a universal attack that deals 4x damage and you have a chance to miss the projectiles, an attack where he steals your health energy and shield, an attack where he makes a bubble appear that blurs a part of the screen, or set gravity to normal, and a tier-up attack where he goes up by a tier and deals 2x damage.
Dr. Cubical drops you different attribute buffs during the fight for shield, hp, and energy. t1 is a flat bonus, t2 makes t1, t3 makes t2, and so on, until t8. you press/hold different keys on your keyboard to obtain these.

Last phase of Thorus, it's a cut-scene pretty much, there is no way to lose it.

'''<big>Fight Overview</big>'''

Your tower can be constructed of all modules that you have. There are 9 types of tower rankings you can get at the end of the fight, empty (equip 0 modules), aggressive (have more offensive (red) modules than any other type), defensive (have more defensive (blue) modules than any other type), useful (have more utility (yellow) modules than any other type), ultimate (have more ultimate (purple) modules than any other type), weird (have more special (gray) modules than any other type), balanced (have two types of modules with the same number of modules), nice (have 69 modules in your tower), and perfect (spoiler).
Many buildings of the town get "super upgrades" that allow them to help the tower get far better and deal more damage. The factory producers rainbow producers based on how many producers you have, rainbow producers multiply the resources you get every second by an amount. The mine produces rainbow shards based on how deep you have dug, these shards multiply the rainbow producer income. The laboratory uses your experiment progress to multiply damage gained by damage modules. The museum uses your power stone tiers to create a higher tier rainbow tier which multiplies damage like the lab. The shipyard multiplies resources based on sea miles and shipments. The power plant produces sun power based on dyson nodes and other producers, sun power speeds up time except for the timer.
After the timer ends or you start the final attack you will be taken to a scene where you must charge the attack. You spam keys on the keyboard for one minute to get as much power as possible.

Shipyard

2025-12-03T16:53:46Z

Archercatneo4: /* Skills */ Update skills for V1.0

{{Building|Tier=3|ConversionRate=100000|Image=Shipyard.png|Color=Spring Green|ColorCode=#00E77F}}
[[File:Cyan resource.png|left]]
The '''Shipyard''' is a building where you can send ships out to gather resources.
[[File:Shipyard2.png|thumb]]
{{clear|left}}
==Weather==
Weather is a modifier to the resource gain of your shipments.

Weather changes over time, except when you start a mission, then weather stays the same until you collect the shipment.

The effect of weather is affected by certain upgrades.

If you have bad weather, then it's advisable to wait until the weather changes, or consider restarting a shipment if the weather has improved shortly after it starts.

==Shipments==
You can send your ship out to gather shipments.

Every time you collect a shipment, your reward bonus is increased by increasing shipment number by 1, which additively increases the reward bonus by your bonus/shipment percentage.

You can upgrade your bonus modifier per shipment, which recalculates you reward bonus by multiplying shipment number by the new percentage bonus.

There are 6 options for shipments

*'''5 minutes:''' White Resources
*'''15 minutes:''' Orange Resources, Brown Resources, and Red Resources
*'''60 minutes:''' Green Resources, Blue Resources, and Purple Resources
*'''4 hours:''' Yellow Resources, Light Blue Resources, and Pink Resources
*'''8 hours:''' Cyan Resources, Gray Resources, and Black Resources
*'''24 hours:''' Gems, and Exotic Gems.

==Sea miles==
As long as your ships are out making shipments, they are gaining sea miles. Unlike shipments, this gain happens continuously, regardless of if the shipment completes.

The formula for sea mile gain is <code>0.0002 / sec. * ShipmentConstant</code> (which is 1 for 5 min. shipment, 2 for 15 min., 3 for 1 hour, etc.) and the skill raises the shipment constant to the power of 1.2. So with the skill, a 24-hour shipment has a constant of ~8.59, and is that much better than doing 5-min shipments.

Like everything else in the Shipyard, sea mile gain is affected by the [[Power Plant]].

Sea miles earn you the following '''Milestones''':
{| class="wikitable"

|}

==Upgrades==
Upgrades can be bought to provide bonus to shipment reward.

===Shipment Rewards Upgrades===

*Improved decks (Max. 400 levels): Increase the reward bonus per shipment by 0.05%.

That means, multiply the resource gain by x(1+0.05%*upgrades*shipments)

===Weather Effects===

*Bigger sails (Max. 100 levels): Increase the weather exponent by 2%.
*Stronger keel (Max. 50 levels): Increase the weather exponent by 3%.
*Reinforced hull (Max. 20 levels): Increase the weather exponent by 5%.

Each weather effect upgrades stack additive with itself, but different weather upgrade stack multiplicative.

Note that the power effect also apply to weather debuffs.

==Skills==
{{See also|Skills (Upgrade)}}

*'''Sturdy Decks''' - Reduces the effects of bad weather by 50%
*'''Precious Freight''' - Applies the shipment bonus to regular gems at a reduced rate of x^0.5.
*'''Trade Leverage''' - Reduces the base conversion rate of the shipyard by 1 per actual shipment performed. Multipliers to shipments do not apply in this case. Caps out at 9000 shipments.
*'''Advanced Navigation''' - By taking longer shortcuts each shipment will yield more sea miles. Raises the seamile multiplier to the power of 1.2 for all shipments that take longer than 5 minutes total.
*'''Priority Manifest''' - Raises priority for gem and exotic gem shipments, reducing their shipment time by 50%
*'''Cartography''' - Increases the sea miles gained over time by 33.333% for each tier of the shipyard.

Removes the Era/Infinity restriction of Era Swirl as well.
|-
|Wave Restart||{{number|5e28}}||1.5e12 flop-hours||If this software is active then a new round in tower testing will start at your previous record. If wave catalyst is active at the same time then the wave acceleration factor will be set to {{number|1e9}}. With this software you can technically push forever so use it wisely.

There is another technical limit for speed which is compensated by skipping waves leading to a higher resources/sec increase at the cost of missing out a few enemies.

==Military==
{{Main|Military Tier}}

In the military tab you can soft prestige after meeting certain requirements (unlocking regions, maxing out modules...), which change with every prestige.

Prestiging will reward the player with higher maximum modules tier, new buildings, software, bosses, and other features.

Prestiging will reset the level of all modules, as well as losing all your cubes. Cubes can be regained over a period of 4 hours (1 hour with the exotic skill '''Trustworthy Trust Fund'''). To compensate this, you are rewarded some gems or exotic gems.

Prestiging will not make you lose gems, exotic gems, or non-cube building resources.

You will start at Tier 0, and will eventually reach Tier 4, unlocking access to the [[AI]]. Upon reaching tier 8, you will unlock access to [[Era]] content. [[Infinity]] content is available at Tier 12.

==Facility AI==
{{Main|AI}}

The Facility AI is a section unlocked by attaining military prestige 4 and installing it from software section. The AI allows for multiple automation tasks to be performed, including refreshing [[Mine]] layers, combining power stones at the [[Museum]], using active modules automatically, or simply clicking at specific locations on the screen.

Archercatneo4: /* Exotic Skills */ Update exotic skills for V1.0

{{Building|Tier=8|ConversionRate=750|Image=Hq.png|Color=Purple|ColorCode=purple}}
[[File:Purple resource.png|left|link=Special:FilePath/Purple_resource.png]]
The '''Headquarters''' is a building where you can upgrade your [[Military Tier]], purchase and install software to speed up [[Tower Testing]], or access the [[AI]] scripting feature.

{{clear|left}}
==Building Tiers==
Each tier adds 2 extra server slots and unlocks a new contract.

==Contracts==
The contracts' conditions can be met to increase resource drops in the [[New Round|core game]].
The total resource drop multiplier is <code>Resource Drop Bonus per Fulfilled Contract^(Fulfilled Contracts+1)</code>

===Glass Cannon===
Conditions: Use max. 1 defensive [[Modules|module]].

Conditions: Use min. 4 active [[Modules|modules]]

===Elementalist===
Conditions: Include [[Modules|modules]] with #tags from each element ('''#Fire, #Water, #Earth, #Air, #Nature, #Electricity, #Light, #Darkness''').

*This means that each tag must appear in the blueprint at least once, but doesn't have to be on a singular module.

===Neutralist===
Conditions: Use between 3 and 15 [[Modules|modules]] with a '''#Neutral''' tag.

===Trickster===
Conditions: Include [[Modules|modules]] with '''#Buff, #Aura, #Reactive and #Chance''' tags.

*This means that each tag must appear in the blueprint at least once, but doesn't have to be on a singular module.

===CPU===
[[File:CPU.png|thumb|link=Special:FilePath/CPU.png]] CPU increases the speed at which new technology is researched. Each server can hold a maximum of 27.49 THz CPU. You get 1 'flop' for each 20Hz, so the maximum amount of CPU possible (with 16 servers) is 21.99 T flops.

The formula for the cost of each CPU upgrade is {{Math|5''tier'' × 4}}

The formula for the amount of speed each tier grants is {{Math|4''tier'' × 25}} Hz

There is another technical limit for speed which is compensated by skipping waves leading to a higher resources/sec increase at the cost of missing out a few enemies.

==Military==
{{Main|Military Tier}}

In the military tab you can soft prestige after meeting certain requirements (unlocking regions, maxing out modules...), which change with every prestige.

Prestiging will reward the player with higher maximum modules tier, new buildings, software, bosses, and other features.

Prestiging will reset the level of all modules, as well as losing all your cubes. Cubes can be regained over a period of 4 hours (1 hour with the exotic skill '''Trustworthy Trust Fund'''). To compensate this, you are rewarded some gems or exotic gems.

Prestiging will not make you lose gems, exotic gems, or non-cube building resources.

You will start at Tier 0, and will eventually reach Tier 4, unlocking access to the [[AI]]. Upon reaching tier 8, you will unlock access to [[Era]] content. [[Infinity]] content is available at Tier 12.

==Facility AI==
{{Main|AI}}

The Facility AI is a section unlocked by attaining military prestige 4 and installing it from software section. The AI allows for multiple automation tasks to be performed, including refreshing [[Mine]] layers, combining power stones at the [[Museum]], using active modules automatically, or simply clicking at specific locations on the screen.

==Skills==
{{See also|Skills (Upgrade)}}

*'''Sponsoring''' - Decreases the resource conversion rate of the headquarters by 5 for each completed difficulty in normal mode. Takes all unlocked regions into account.
*'''Dealbreaker''' - Increases the base resource drop multiplier for each fulfilled contract by 0.5.
*'''Offline Installing''' - Allows the headquarters to continue installing software while the game is closed.

==Exotic Skills==
{{See also|Exotic Skills}}

*'''Trustworthy Trust Fund''' ({{Number|20|icon=[[File:Exotic gem.png|20px]]}}) - Reduces the total time it takes to regain all resources after a tier up by 3 hours.
*'''Foreign Contracts''' ({{Number|100|icon=[[File:Exotic gem.png|20px]]}}) - By establishing a connection with other islands we unlock 3 new contracts.
*'''Shard Database''' ({{Number|50|icon=[[File:Exotic gem.png|20px]]}}) - Increases the wave acceleration factor from software by 1% per regular building skill learned (multiplicative). Counts the building skills from all buildings and not just the headquarters.

Power Plant

2025-12-03T16:19:42Z

Archercatneo4: /* Exotic Skills */

{{Building|Tier=6|ConversionRate=800|Image=Powerplant.png|Color=Yellow|ColorCode=#E6C900}}
[[File:Yellow resource.png|left|link=Special:FilePath/Yellow_resource.png]]
The '''Power Plant''' is a building used to generate electricity to give speed boosts to other buildings.
[[File:PowerPlant.png|thumb|Power plant example]]

{{Clear|left}}
==Power Grid==
The power grid is where you place components in order to generate and store energy.

You can place components by selecting one from the list on the left of the screen, and then clicking an empty tile. The price of the placed component will increase by 1.5x (mul.) for each component of the same type on the grid, this is reverted if the component is sold.

To sell a component, right-click the filled tile while not having any component selected from the list. Doing so will fully refund the resources you spent buying the component.

Components must connect either orthogonally to a component they supply something to or via pipes if the component provides a fluid can be transported by one. Generators do not need to be connected to a battery, all battery storage and power production is simply added together for their final values.

==Network==
This is where you spend your energy to speed up other buildings:

*[[Construction Firm]]: Reduces construction time for buildings.
*[[Factory]]: Speeds up shard refining, store reload, machine speed, and fabricator speed.
*[[Mine]]: Speeds up the drill, asteroid mining time, and asteroid scanning time.
*[[Headquarters]]: Speeds up download of software and how fast contracts run out.
*[[Shipyard]]: Speeds up shipments.
*[[Museum]]: speeds up artifact research time and offshore market refresh time.
*<spoiler>[[Workshop]]: To boost [[Workshop]] you need an [[Era]] artifact. Boosting the workshop is only relevant for Era-related activities.</spoiler>
*[[Arcade]]: On its own, it only speeds up the cooldown timer of "Refresh Wheel." To effectively boost the [[arcade]] you need to have something else (located in the spoiler below), which reduces the time between delays (such as time between stopping jumble rows) and increases the speed of the lucky wheel. <spoiler>The darkness [[infinity]] stone grants this power.</spoiler>
*[[Trading Post]]: reduces the time between perk refreshes and the timer to reset trades

The more energy you use, the longer and stronger the boost is.

You can boost multiple buildings at the same time, but if they are boosted at exactly the same time then they have to split the energy for the boost, and so the boosts will be weaker. If you are using workers to restart boosts this isn't a problem in practice, because the periods of each building are different, and so each building will end up boosted at a unique time.

===Mechanics===

Boosting applies a percentage of the total available energy (10%, 25%, 50% or 100% depending on your selection) towards boosting. If there are multiple buildings being boosted simultaneously, the energy is split between them. (This splitting will not be shown in the preview numbers before you boost, but it will be apparent afterwards.) Call this energy being allocated to boosting a building <code>BoostEnergy</code>.

Then <code>BoostEnergy</code> is divided between time and effectiveness based on the position of the slider. For effectiveness, the slider runs from 1% to 100% of <code>BoostEnergy</code>, and for time the slider runs from 100% to 1%. This does mean that the overall energy sums to 101%! Call the amount after the the slider <code>PostSlider</code>.

For both time and effectiveness, <code>PostSlider</code> is used as follows: <code>Result = log(PostSlider) * Perks * BaseValue</code>. When displayed, <code>Result</code> is rounded for effectiveness, but truncated for time. The base for the log is 10 normally, or 7 with the Super Boost skill. Perks include Town Perks, as well as the 1.25 multiplier from Max Power if at full power (only applies to effectiveness). The table of <code>BaseValues</code> is:

|-
|{{Inline spoiler|Workshop}}||3:40||21%
|-
|Arcade||5:00||0.5%
|-
|Trading Post||3:00||15%
|}

==Technology==
These are your components for use in the power grid.

You can unlock more by upgrading the Power Plant in the Construction Firm and purchasing the technology level it unlocks.

All components except the water pump and dyson node can be upgraded in the technology tab. All costs are rounded to the nearest resource. The power plant runs at 10 ticks/sec.

*'''Max. Power''' - Increases the effectiveness of all active boosts by 25% (multiplicative) if the current amount of power exceeds the maximum amount.
*'''Efficient Recycling''' - Lowers the base conversion rate from town resources to power plant resources to 600.
*'''Shutdown''' - Allows you to cancel boosts anytime. Does not refund any power!
*'''Yellowprints''' - Unlocks the ability to store up to 3 different layouts of the power plant as well as the functionality to import, export and apply them at any time. Additionally adds the an option to sell the entire grid.

==Exotic Skills==
{{See also|Exotic Skills}}

*'''Hibernation Mode''' ({{Number|50|icon=[[File:Exotic gem.png|20px]]}}) - Boosts stop losing their duration while the game is closed but still affect all buildings during that time as many they would normally do.
*'''Recursive Feedback''' ({{Number|100|icon=[[File:Exotic gem.png|20px]]}}) - Allows the power plant to boost itself. Power will charge correspondingly faster, although the power grid continues to tick at its regular speed. All other processes within the Power Plant are accelerated, just like in other buildings.

Archercatneo4: Add signatures for worker APIs

The facility AI (short for "Artificial Intelligence") is a feature of the [[Headquarters]] that unlocks upon reaching [[Military Tier]] 4 and finishing the associated software. It is an extremely versatile tool that allows the user to automate almost any task in the game.

Compared to workers, AI scripts are far more versatile as they can interact with almost every system in the game and even for systems for which there is no current APIs that the AI could use to interact it can always perform mouse clicks to simulate such behavior. This is currently limited as the AI can only click on in-game UI buttons so things like region [[artifacts]] must still be performed manually, additionally the AI cannot perform right or middle mouse clicks. However AI cannot run while the game is closed (or more accurately during the simulated time when opening a save file) or interact with buildings which are not open. Workers can do both of these things, appear before AI (MT1 rather than MT4) and are far simpler to use without community assistance so while AI may have more power to automate the game, neither is a replacement for the other.

To use the AI you must first obtain a script to execute. There are several ways to do this:

*Create an AI script in the headquarters. For more information on learning how to create scripts, see [[Using the AI]].
*Obtain import codes for scripts that other players have written. For a list of available scripts, see the [https://discord.com/channels/488444879836413975/1093895780865163284 discord forum].
*Use machine learning (a macro system). This is done by pressing F7 while the AI overlay is active.

==AI Script Format==
An AI script contains three sections that control its behavior:

*Impulses
*Conditions
*Actions

All scripts have a limit of impulses, conditions and actions. Impulses and conditions have a cap of 10, actions a cap pf 50.

===Impulses===
An Impulse can refer to any button press or event that directly activates an AI script. It is not to be confused with the Basic:Execute command which is not considered an impulse, as it is not a way for a player to directly trigger an AI script, but rather a way of calling the script inside of another AI script much like helper methods in high level programming languages. Each impulse can trigger the AI script, regardless if it has already been triggered. It is possible that a script can trigger multiple times before it has finished execution. In this case multiple instances of this script can run in parallel.

===Conditions===
A Condition is a requirement that has to be fulfilled in order for the script to start executing. If any condition in the script is false then the script will not be executed when an impulse is triggered by a player action. During the execution the specified conditions have no effect. All conditions are of data Type:Bool, and any expression that returns a bool can be used as a condition

===Actions===
An Action is something that the AI does when the script becomes active. The Actions are executed one by one, in order from top to bottom. Actions will continue to be executed until either the AI menu is closed, or the script terminates normally. Within one instance of a script, as many actions as the script budget will allow can be executed in one frame. Atomic actions (those with a red symbol) cost 0 budget, all others cost 100. The script is executed in sequence until the budget is reached at which point execution is given to the next script.

*
*

[[File:AI-Script-Editor.png|alt=AI-Script-Editor (Ingame)|none|thumb|362x362px|AI-Script-Editor (In game)]]

There is a maximum budget per script. This is determined by the total amount of RAM installed in all servers.

To get a budget of 10,000 requires fully upgrading the RAM of all 16 servers.

==AI Script Language==

===Data Types===
There are various data types that are usable within AI scripts, all of which are incredibly versatile and useful in creating a script as complex or simple as one desires.
{| class="wikitable"
!Type
!Description
!Example Values
!Default Value
!Notes
|-
|double
|A integer that allows decimal precision. Can be positive or negative.
|3.2, 0.29, -10.2, 7.9999993
|0.0
|Doubles have a max value of approximately 1.797 × 10308.
|-
|int
|A number that does not allow decimal precision. Can be positive or negative.
|20, 69, 420, -1029, 0
|0
|Ints range from -2147483648 to 2147483647
|-
|string
|An array of characters. Basically a way to format and use text.
|"meow", "hello", " ", "I am a text", "!BanBudE"
|""
|The quotes in the examples are not included in the actual string value.
|-
|bool
|A binary value that can either be true or false.
|true, false
|false
|
|-
|Vector2
|A container type that contains two double values called x and y.
|(-30.0, 0.0), (28.38, 13)
|(0.0, 0.0)
|
|}
Some datatypes can be converted to others by using a function. Check the table below to see which datatypes are currently interchangeable.

(The table will be updated as soon as more AI features are available.)

===Functions===
Any line in an AI script (apart from impulses) represents a function.

There are two major types of functions:

*Without a return value (= Actions)
*With a return value

Functions without a return value appear as actions in the sidebar of the AI-script editor. In general these functions do something specific but require some sort of input.

The various inputs to a function are called '''arguments'''. Each argument of a function has a specific datatype and accepts either a constant value or a function with a return value of the same type.

===APIs (Application Programming Interfaces) (as of v0.49)===
Function signatures have been slightly modified to conform with a C-like syntax for similarity with other function signatures. The special return type <code>impulse</code> denotes a function is an input (rather than an action), actions which previously did not have a return type now have the <code>void</code> return type and the colon between type and argument name is removed.

|-
|Basic: Execute
|<code>void execute(string script)</code>
|Executes the first script in the list which is named <code>script</code> without requiring an impulse. Conditions of the script called still have to be fulfilled. Executed scripts are put at the end of the script list, and because of this they (usually) will run their first action in the same frame, since the script list pointer is still on the calling script, earlier in the script list.
|-
|Basic: Execute (Sync)
|<code>void executesync(string script)</code>
|Executes the first script in the list which is named <code>script</code> and waits until the execution is completed. Conditions of the script still have to be fulfilled.
|-
|Basic: Stop
|<code>void stop(string script)</code>
|Stops the execution of all scripts and script instances which are named <code>script</code>. '''Important bug/feature:''' If a script stops ''itself'', the script list pointer is reset to the beginning, effectively giving everything before this script an "extra" cycle. Because scripts that have reached the end aren't cleaned up until the end-of-frame processing, this means that scripts on their last line (or that have jumped to 99) will re-execute their last line, which can cause bugs. This behavior is known as "Turbo Exec," since it can be used to build programs that execute much faster than the typical one-action-per-frame.
|-
|Local: Get <T>
|<code>T local.get(string var)</code>
|Returns the value of the the local variable <code>var</code>.

Archercatneo4: Move all actions into the tables

The facility AI (short for "Artificial Intelligence") is a feature of the [[Headquarters]] that unlocks upon reaching [[Military Tier]] 4 and finishing the associated software. It is an extremely versatile tool that allows the user to automate almost any task in the game.

Compared to workers, AI scripts are far more versatile as they can interact with almost every system in the game and even for systems for which there is no current APIs that the AI could use to interact it can always perform mouse clicks to simulate such behavior. This is currently limited as the AI can only click on in-game UI buttons so things like region [[artifacts]] must still be performed manually, additionally the AI cannot perform right or middle mouse clicks. However AI cannot run while the game is closed (or more accurately during the simulated time when opening a save file) or interact with buildings which are not open. Workers can do both of these things, appear before AI (MT1 rather than MT4) and are far simpler to use without community assistance so while AI may have more power to automate the game, neither is a replacement for the other.

To use the AI you must first obtain a script to execute. There are several ways to do this:

*Create an AI script in the headquarters. For more information on learning how to create scripts, see [[Using the AI]].
*Obtain import codes for scripts that other players have written. For a list of available scripts, see the [https://discord.com/channels/488444879836413975/1093895780865163284 discord forum].
*Use machine learning (a macro system). This is done by pressing F7 while the AI overlay is active.

==AI Script Format==
An AI script contains three sections that control its behavior:

*Impulses
*Conditions
*Actions

All scripts have a limit of impulses, conditions and actions. Impulses and conditions have a cap of 10, actions a cap pf 50.

===Impulses===
An Impulse can refer to any button press or event that directly activates an AI script. It is not to be confused with the Basic:Execute command which is not considered an impulse, as it is not a way for a player to directly trigger an AI script, but rather a way of calling the script inside of another AI script much like helper methods in high level programming languages. Each impulse can trigger the AI script, regardless if it has already been triggered. It is possible that a script can trigger multiple times before it has finished execution. In this case multiple instances of this script can run in parallel.

===Conditions===
A Condition is a requirement that has to be fulfilled in order for the script to start executing. If any condition in the script is false then the script will not be executed when an impulse is triggered by a player action. During the execution the specified conditions have no effect. All conditions are of data Type:Bool, and any expression that returns a bool can be used as a condition

===Actions===
An Action is something that the AI does when the script becomes active. The Actions are executed one by one, in order from top to bottom. Actions will continue to be executed until either the AI menu is closed, or the script terminates normally. Within one instance of a script, as many actions as the script budget will allow can be executed in one frame. Atomic actions (those with a red symbol) cost 0 budget, all others cost 100. The script is executed in sequence until the budget is reached at which point execution is given to the next script.

*
*
*

[[File:AI-Script-Editor.png|alt=AI-Script-Editor (Ingame)|none|thumb|362x362px|AI-Script-Editor (In game)]]

There is a maximum budget per script. This is determined by the total amount of RAM installed in all servers.

To get a budget of 10,000 requires fully upgrading the RAM of all 16 servers.

==AI Script Language==

===Data Types===
There are various data types that are usable within AI scripts, all of which are incredibly versatile and useful in creating a script as complex or simple as one desires.
{| class="wikitable"
!Type
!Description
!Example Values
!Default Value
!Notes
|-
|double
|A integer that allows decimal precision. Can be positive or negative.
|3.2, 0.29, -10.2, 7.9999993
|0.0
|Doubles have a max value of approximately 1.797 × 10308.
|-
|int
|A number that does not allow decimal precision. Can be positive or negative.
|20, 69, 420, -1029, 0
|0
|Ints range from -2147483648 to 2147483647
|-
|string
|An array of characters. Basically a way to format and use text.
|"meow", "hello", " ", "I am a text", "!BanBudE"
|""
|The quotes in the examples are not included in the actual string value.
|-
|bool
|A binary value that can either be true or false.
|true, false
|false
|
|-
|Vector2
|A container type that contains two double values called x and y.
|(-30.0, 0.0), (28.38, 13)
|(0.0, 0.0)
|
|}
Some datatypes can be converted to others by using a function. Check the table below to see which datatypes are currently interchangeable.

(The table will be updated as soon as more AI features are available.)

===Functions===
Any line in an AI script (apart from impulses) represents a function.

There are two major types of functions:

*Without a return value (= Actions)
*With a return value

Functions without a return value appear as actions in the sidebar of the AI-script editor. In general these functions do something specific but require some sort of input.

The various inputs to a function are called '''arguments'''. Each argument of a function has a specific datatype and accepts either a constant value or a function with a return value of the same type.

===APIs (Application Programming Interfaces) (as of v0.49)===
Function signatures have been slightly modified to conform with a C-like syntax for similarity with other function signatures. The special return type <code>impulse</code> denotes a function is an input (rather than an action), actions which previously did not have a return type now have the <code>void</code> return type and the colon between type and argument name is removed.

|-
|Basic: Execute
|<code>void execute(string script)</code>
|Executes the first script in the list which is named <code>script</code> without requiring an impulse. Conditions of the script called still have to be fulfilled. Executed scripts are put at the end of the script list, and because of this they (usually) will run their first action in the same frame, since the script list pointer is still on the calling script, earlier in the script list.
|-
|Basic: Execute (Sync)
|<code>void executesync(string script)</code>
|Executes the first script in the list which is named <code>script</code> and waits until the execution is completed. Conditions of the script still have to be fulfilled.
|-
|Basic: Stop
|<code>void stop(string script)</code>
|Stops the execution of all scripts and script instances which are named <code>script</code>. '''Important bug/feature:''' If a script stops ''itself'', the script list pointer is reset to the beginning, effectively giving everything before this script an "extra" cycle. Because scripts that have reached the end aren't cleaned up until the end-of-frame processing, this means that scripts on their last line (or that have jumped to 99) will re-execute their last line, which can cause bugs. This behavior is known as "Turbo Exec," since it can be used to build programs that execute much faster than the typical one-action-per-frame.

Archercatneo4: Add all Tower Testing APIs

The facility AI (short for "Artificial Intelligence") is a feature of the [[Headquarters]] that unlocks upon reaching [[Military Tier]] 4 and finishing the associated software. It is an extremely versatile tool that allows the user to automate almost any task in the game.

Compared to workers, AI scripts are far more versatile as they can interact with almost every system in the game and even for systems for which there is no current APIs that the AI could use to interact it can always perform mouse clicks to simulate such behavior. This is currently limited as the AI can only click on in-game UI buttons so things like region [[artifacts]] must still be performed manually, additionally the AI cannot perform right or middle mouse clicks. However AI cannot run while the game is closed (or more accurately during the simulated time when opening a save file) or interact with buildings which are not open. Workers can do both of these things, appear before AI (MT1 rather than MT4) and are far simpler to use without community assistance so while AI may have more power to automate the game, neither is a replacement for the other.

To use the AI you must first obtain a script to execute. There are several ways to do this:

*Create an AI script in the headquarters. For more information on learning how to create scripts, see [[Using the AI]].
*Obtain import codes for scripts that other players have written. For a list of available scripts, see the [https://discord.com/channels/488444879836413975/1093895780865163284 discord forum].
*Use machine learning (a macro system). This is done by pressing F7 while the AI overlay is active.

==AI Script Format==
An AI script contains three sections that control its behavior:

*Impulses
*Conditions
*Actions

All scripts have a limit of impulses, conditions and actions. Impulses and conditions have a cap of 10, actions a cap pf 50.

===Impulses===
An Impulse can refer to any button press or event that directly activates an AI script. It is not to be confused with the Basic:Execute command which is not considered an impulse, as it is not a way for a player to directly trigger an AI script, but rather a way of calling the script inside of another AI script much like helper methods in high level programming languages. Each impulse can trigger the AI script, regardless if it has already been triggered. It is possible that a script can trigger multiple times before it has finished execution. In this case multiple instances of this script can run in parallel.

===Conditions===
A Condition is a requirement that has to be fulfilled in order for the script to start executing. If any condition in the script is false then the script will not be executed when an impulse is triggered by a player action. During the execution the specified conditions have no effect. All conditions are of data Type:Bool, and any expression that returns a bool can be used as a condition

===Actions===
An Action is something that the AI does when the script becomes active. The Actions are executed one by one, in order from top to bottom. Actions will continue to be executed until either the AI menu is closed, or the script terminates normally. Within one instance of a script, as many actions as the script budget will allow can be executed in one frame. Atomic actions (those with a red symbol) cost 0 budget, all others cost 100. The script is executed in sequence until the budget is reached at which point execution is given to the next script.

*
*
*

[[File:AI-Script-Editor.png|alt=AI-Script-Editor (Ingame)|none|thumb|362x362px|AI-Script-Editor (In game)]]

There is a maximum budget per script. This is determined by the total amount of RAM installed in all servers.

To get a budget of 10,000 requires fully upgrading the RAM of all 16 servers.

==AI Script Language==

===Data Types===
There are various data types that are usable within AI scripts, all of which are incredibly versatile and useful in creating a script as complex or simple as one desires.
{| class="wikitable"
!Type
!Description
!Example Values
!Default Value
!Notes
|-
|double
|A integer that allows decimal precision. Can be positive or negative.
|3.2, 0.29, -10.2, 7.9999993
|0.0
|Doubles have a max value of approximately 1.797 × 10308.
|-
|int
|A number that does not allow decimal precision. Can be positive or negative.
|20, 69, 420, -1029, 0
|0
|Ints range from -2147483648 to 2147483647
|-
|string
|An array of characters. Basically a way to format and use text.
|"meow", "hello", " ", "I am a text", "!BanBudE"
|""
|The quotes in the examples are not included in the actual string value.
|-
|bool
|A binary value that can either be true or false.
|true, false
|false
|
|-
|Vector2
|A container type that contains two double values called x and y.
|(-30.0, 0.0), (28.38, 13)
|(0.0, 0.0)
|
|}
Some datatypes can be converted to others by using a function. Check the table below to see which datatypes are currently interchangeable.

(The table will be updated as soon as more AI features are available.)

===Functions===
Any line in an AI script (apart from impulses) represents a function.

There are two major types of functions:

*Without a return value (= Actions)
*With a return value

Functions without a return value appear as actions in the sidebar of the AI-script editor. In general these functions do something specific but require some sort of input.

The various inputs to a function are called '''arguments'''. Each argument of a function has a specific datatype and accepts either a constant value or a function with a return value of the same type.

===APIs (Application Programming Interfaces) (as of v0.49)===
Function signatures have been slightly modified to conform with a C-like syntax for similarity with other function signatures. The special return type <code>impulse</code> denotes a function is an input (rather than an action), actions which previously did not have a return type now have the <code>void</code> return type and the colon between type and argument name is removed.

|-
|Basic: Goto
|<code>void goto(int line)</code>
|Jumps to line <code>line</code>. The first line in the script equals 1. Entering an invalid line number will result in the value being clamped between the min. and max. boundaries during execution.
|-
|Basic: Goto-If
|<code>void goto(int line, bool condition)</code>
|Jumps to line <code>line</code> in the current script if <code>condition</code> is True. First line equals 1.
|-
|Basic: Click
|<code>void click(vector2 pos)</code>
|Performs a mouse click at following location: <code>pos</code>.
|-
|Basic: Slider
|<code>void slider(vector2 where, double value)</code>
|Sets the slider position <code>where</code> on the screen to <code>value</code> with 0 being the leftmost and 1 being the rightmost end.
|-
|Basic: Scrollrect
|<code>void scrollbar(vector2 where, double horizontal, double vertical)</code>
|Scrolls within a scrollable container at <code>where</code> to <code>horizontal</code> (horizontally) and <code>vertical</code> (vertically) with 0 being the left/lower end and 1 being the right/upper end. Use a negative value to ignore an axis.
|-
|Basic: Wait
|<code>void wait(double value)</code>
|A simple wait function that stops the current script for a total of <code>value</code> seconds.
|-
|Basic: Wait Until
|<code>void waituntil(bool condition)</code>
|Stops the current script until <code>condition</code> becomes True.
|-
|Basic: Wait While
|<code>void waitwhile(bool condition)</code>
|Stops the current script as long as <code>condition</code> is True.
|-
|Basic: Wait Frame
|<code>void waitframe()</code>
|Stops execution of this script for this frame and continues in the next one.
|-
|Basic: Execute
|<code>void execute(string script)</code>
|Executes the first script in the list which is named <code>script</code> without requiring an impulse. Conditions of the script called still have to be fulfilled. Executed scripts are put at the end of the script list, and because of this they (usually) will run their first action in the same frame, since the script list pointer is still on the calling script, earlier in the script list.
|-
|Basic: Execute (Sync)
|<code>void executesync(string script)</code>
|Executes the first script in the list which is named <code>script</code> and waits until the execution is completed. Conditions of the script still have to be fulfilled.
|-
|Basic: Stop
|<code>void stop(string script)</code>
|Stops the execution of all scripts and script instances which are named <code>script</code>. '''Important bug/feature:''' If a script stops ''itself'', the script list pointer is reset to the beginning, effectively giving everything before this script an "extra" cycle. Because scripts that have reached the end aren't cleaned up until the end-of-frame processing, this means that scripts on their last line (or that have jumped to 99) will re-execute their last line, which can cause bugs. This behavior is known as "Turbo Exec," since it can be used to build programs that execute much faster than the typical one-action-per-frame.
|-
|Local: Get <T>
|<code>T local.get(string var)</code>
|Returns the value of the the local variable <code>var</code>.
|-
|Local: Set <T>

Archercatneo4: Begin to split the "all APIs" table into multiple tables

The facility AI (short for "Artificial Intelligence") is a feature of the [[Headquarters]] that unlocks upon reaching [[Military Tier]] 4 and finishing the associated software. It is an extremely versatile tool that allows the user to automate almost any task in the game.

Compared to workers, AI scripts are far more versatile as they can interact with almost every system in the game and even for systems for which there is no current APIs that the AI could use to interact it can always perform mouse clicks to simulate such behavior. This is currently limited as the AI can only click on in-game UI buttons so things like region [[artifacts]] must still be performed manually, additionally the AI cannot perform right or middle mouse clicks. However AI cannot run while the game is closed (or more accurately during the simulated time when opening a save file) or interact with buildings which are not open. Workers can do both of these things, appear before AI (MT1 rather than MT4) and are far simpler to use without community assistance so while AI may have more power to automate the game, neither is a replacement for the other.

To use the AI you must first obtain a script to execute. There are several ways to do this:

*Create an AI script in the headquarters. For more information on learning how to create scripts, see [[Using the AI]].
*Obtain import codes for scripts that other players have written. For a list of available scripts, see the [https://discord.com/channels/488444879836413975/1093895780865163284 discord forum].
*Use machine learning (a macro system). This is done by pressing F7 while the AI overlay is active.

==AI Script Format==
An AI script contains three sections that control its behavior:

*Impulses
*Conditions
*Actions

All scripts have a limit of impulses, conditions and actions. Impulses and conditions have a cap of 10, actions a cap pf 50.

===Impulses===
An Impulse can refer to any button press or event that directly activates an AI script. It is not to be confused with the Basic:Execute command which is not considered an impulse, as it is not a way for a player to directly trigger an AI script, but rather a way of calling the script inside of another AI script much like helper methods in high level programming languages. Each impulse can trigger the AI script, regardless if it has already been triggered. It is possible that a script can trigger multiple times before it has finished execution. In this case multiple instances of this script can run in parallel.

===Conditions===
A Condition is a requirement that has to be fulfilled in order for the script to start executing. If any condition in the script is false then the script will not be executed when an impulse is triggered by a player action. During the execution the specified conditions have no effect. All conditions are of data Type:Bool, and any expression that returns a bool can be used as a condition

===Actions===
An Action is something that the AI does when the script becomes active. The Actions are executed one by one, in order from top to bottom. Actions will continue to be executed until either the AI menu is closed, or the script terminates normally. Within one instance of a script, as many actions as the script budget will allow can be executed in one frame. Atomic actions (those with a red symbol) cost 0 budget, all others cost 100. The script is executed in sequence until the budget is reached at which point execution is given to the next script.

*

[[File:AI-Script-Editor.png|alt=AI-Script-Editor (Ingame)|none|thumb|362x362px|AI-Script-Editor (In game)]]

There is a maximum budget per script. This is determined by the total amount of RAM installed in all servers.

To get a budget of 10,000 requires fully upgrading the RAM of all 16 servers.

==AI Script Language==

===Data Types===
There are various data types that are usable within AI scripts, all of which are incredibly versatile and useful in creating a script as complex or simple as one desires.

===Functions===
Any line in an AI script (apart from impulses) represents a function.

There are two major types of functions:

*Without a return value (= Actions)
*With a return value

Functions without a return value appear as actions in the sidebar of the AI-script editor. In general these functions do something specific but require some sort of input.

The various inputs to a function are called '''arguments'''. Each argument of a function has a specific datatype and accepts either a constant value or a function with a return value of the same type.

=== APIs (Application Programming Interfaces) (as of v0.49) ===
Function signatures have been slightly modified to conform with a C-like syntax for similarity with other function signatures. The special return type <code>impulse</code> denotes a function is an input (rather than an action), actions which previously did not have a return type now have the <code>void</code> return type and the colon between type and argument name is removed.

!Name
!Function Signature
!Description
|-
|Basic: Goto
|<code>void goto(int line)</code>
|Jumps to line <code>line</code>. The first line in the script equals 1. Entering an invalid line number will result in the value being clamped between the min. and max. boundaries during execution.
|-
|Basic: Goto-If
|<code>void goto(int line, bool condition)</code>
|Jumps to line <code>line</code> in the current script if <code>condition</code> is True. First line equals 1.
|-
|Basic: Click
|<code>void click(vector2 pos)</code>
|Performs a mouse click at following location: <code>pos</code>.
|-
|Basic: Slider
|<code>void slider(vector2 where, double value)</code>
|Sets the slider position <code>where</code> on the screen to <code>value</code> with 0 being the leftmost and 1 being the rightmost end.
|-
|Basic: Scrollrect
|<code>void scrollbar(vector2 where, double horizontal, double vertical)</code>
|Scrolls within a scrollable container at <code>where</code> to <code>horizontal</code> (horizontally) and <code>vertical</code> (vertically) with 0 being the left/lower end and 1 being the right/upper end. Use a negative value to ignore an axis.
|-
|Basic: Wait
|<code>void wait(double value)</code>

|Basic: Wait While
|<code>void waitwhile(bool condition)</code>
|Stops the current script as long as <code>condition</code> is True.
|-
|Basic: Wait Frame
|<code>void waitframe()</code>
|Stops execution of this script for this frame and continues in the next one.
|-
|Basic: Execute
|<code>void execute(string script)</code>
|Executes the first script in the list which is named <code>script</code> without requiring an impulse. Conditions of the script called still have to be fulfilled. Executed scripts are put at the end of the script list, and because of this they (usually) will run their first action in the same frame, since the script list pointer is still on the calling script, earlier in the script list.
|-
|Basic: Execute (Sync)
|<code>void executesync(string script)</code>
|Executes the first script in the list which is named <code>script</code> and waits until the execution is completed. Conditions of the script still have to be fulfilled.
|-
|Basic: Stop
|<code>void stop(string script)</code>
|Stops the execution of all scripts and script instances which are named <code>script</code>. '''Important bug/feature:''' If a script stops ''itself'', the script list pointer is reset to the beginning, effectively giving everything before this script an "extra" cycle. Because scripts that have reached the end aren't cleaned up until the end-of-frame processing, this means that scripts on their last line (or that have jumped to 99) will re-execute their last line, which can cause bugs. This behavior is known as "Turbo Exec," since it can be used to build programs that execute much faster than the typical one-action-per-frame.
|-
|Local: Get <T>
|<code>T local.get(string var)</code>
|Returns the value of the the local variable <code>var</code>.
|-
|Local: Set <T>

Archercatneo4: Begin to reformat the AI page

The facility AI (short for "Artificial Intelligence") is a feature of the [[Headquarters]] that unlocks upon reaching [[Military Tier]] 4 and finishing the associated software. It is an extremely versatile tool that allows the user to automate almost any task in the game.

Compared to workers, AI scripts are far more versatile as they can interact with almost every system in the game and even for systems for which there is no current APIs that the AI could use to interact it can always perform mouse clicks to simulate such behavior. This is currently limited as the AI can only click on in-game UI buttons so things like region [[artifacts]] must still be performed manually, additionally the AI cannot perform right or middle mouse clicks. However AI cannot run while the game is closed (or more accurately during the simulated time when opening a save file) or interact with buildings which are not open. Workers can do both of these things, appear before AI (MT1 rather than MT4) and are far simpler to use without community assistance so while AI may have more power to automate the game, neither is a replacement for the other.

To use the AI you must first obtain a script to execute. There are several ways to do this:

*Create an AI script in the headquarters. For more information on learning how to create scripts, see [[Using the AI]].
*Obtain import codes for scripts that other players have written. For a list of available scripts, see the [https://discord.com/channels/488444879836413975/1093895780865163284 discord forum].
*Use machine learning (a macro system). This is done by pressing F7 while the AI overlay is active.

==AI Script Format==
An AI script contains three sections that control its behavior:

*Impulses
*Conditions
*Actions

The function signatures (combination of the return type and types of the arguments for the function) for each function in the external editor are expressed in this way <code><Return type> <namespace?>.<function>(type: arg1 ...)</code>

For consistency with common function signature formats the signatures here have been rewritten into the following Python-like format <code><namespace?>.<function>(arg1: type) -> ReturnType</code>. Impulses return the special type <code>impulse</code> and functions that no not return a value (a "void" type) are not followed by a return type. Namespaces and function names are unchanged.

===Impulse===
An Impulse can refer to any button press or event that directly activates an AI script. It is not to be confused with the Basic:Execute command which is not considered an impulse, as it is not a way for a player to directly trigger an AI script, but rather a way of calling the script inside of another AI script much like helper methods in high level programming languages. An AI script can contain up to 10 impulses, each of which can trigger the AI script, regardless if it has already been triggered. It is possible that a script can trigger multiple times before it has finished execution. In this case multiple instances of this script can run in parallel.

===Condition===
A Condition is a requirement that has to be fulfilled in order for the script to start executing. An AI script can contain up to 10 conditions of which if any is false then the script will not be executed when an impulse is triggered by a player action. During the execution the specified conditions have no effect. All conditions are of data Type:Bool, and any expression that returns a bool can be used as a condition

===Action===
An Action is something that the AI does when the script becomes active. The Actions are executed one by one, in order from top to bottom. Actions will continue to be executed until either the AI menu is closed, or the script terminates normally. Within one instance of a script, as many actions as the script budget will allow can be executed in one frame. Atomic actions (those with a red symbol) cost 0 budget, all others cost 100. The script is executed in sequence until the budget is reached at which point execution is given to the next script. A script can have up to 50 actions.

*
*
*

[[File:AI-Script-Editor.png|alt=AI-Script-Editor (Ingame)|none|thumb|362x362px|AI-Script-Editor (In game)]]

There is a maximum budget per script. This is determined by the total amount of RAM installed in all servers. The amounts you get from your RAM are <code>floor(7 + Log7.98(RAM))</code>, <code>floor(1 + (actions / 7))</code> and <code>floor(1 + (actions / 11))</code> bytes, rounded up. Here is a Desmos Graph that displays it for you https://www.desmos.com/calculator/12aiwozkjj

Any line in an AI script (apart from impulses) represents a function.

There are two major types of functions:

*Without a return value (= Actions)
*With a return value

Functions without a return value appear as actions in the sidebar of the AI-script editor. In general these functions do something specific but require some sort of input.

The various inputs to a function are called '''arguments'''. Each argument of a function has a specific datatype and accepts either a constant value or a function with a return value of the same type.

*Museum: Fill Inventory (<code>bool isfill()</code>)
**Returns the current Fill Inventory state. Always returns false outside the museum.

'''Action List:'''

*Basic: Goto (<code>goto(int: line)</code>)
**Jumps to line <code>line</code>. The first line in the script equals 1. Entering an invalid line number will result in the value being clamped between the min. and max. boundaries during execution.
*Basic: Goto-If (<code>goto(int: line, bool: condition)</code>)
**Jumps to line <code>line</code> in the current script if <code>condition</code> is True. First line equals 1.
*Basic: Click (<code>click(vector: pos)</code>)
**Performs a mouse click at following location: <code>pos</code>.
*Basic: Slider (<code>slider(vector: where, double: value)</code>)
**Sets the slider position <code>where</code> on the screen to <code>value</code> with 0 being the leftmost and 1 being the rightmost end.
*Basic: Scrollrect (<code>scrollbar(vector: where, double: horizontal, double: vertical)</code>)
**Scrolls within a scrollable container at <code>where</code> to <code>horizontal</code> (horizontally) and <code>vertical</code> (vertically) with 0 being the left/lower end and 1 being the right/upper end. Use a negative value to ignore an axis.
*Basic: Wait (<code>wait(double: value)</code>)
**A simple wait function that stops the current script for a total of <code>value</code> seconds.
*Basic: Wait Until (<code>waituntil(bool: condition)</code>)
**Stops the current script until <code>condition</code> becomes True.
*Basic: Wait While (<code>waitwhile(bool: condition)</code>)
**Stops the current script as long as <code>condition</code> is True.
*Basic: Execute (<code>execute(string: script)</code>)
**Executes the first script in the list which is named <code>script</code> without requiring an impulse. Conditions of the script called still have to be fulfilled. Executed scripts are put at the end of the script list, and because of this they (usually) will run their first action in the same frame, since the script list pointer is still on the calling script, earlier in the script list.
*Basic: Execute (Sync) (<code>executesync(string: script)</code>)
**Executes the first script in the list which is named <code>script</code> and waits until the execution is completed. Conditions of the script still have to be fulfilled. '''As of 0.9.2, this has some bugs:''' If the conditions of the script are ''not'' fulfilled, <code>executesync</code> will wait forever without running anything. Also, if the executed script is killed with <code>stop</code>, execution will not continue.
*Basic: Stop (<code>stop(string: script)</code>)
**Stops the execution of all scripts and script instances which are named <code>script</code>. '''Important bug/feature:''' If a script stops ''itself'', the script list pointer is reset to the beginning, effectively giving everything before this script an "extra" cycle. Because scripts that have reached the end aren't cleaned up until the end-of-frame processing, this means that scripts on their last line (or that have jumped to 99) will re-execute their last line, which can cause bugs. This behavior is known as "Turbo Exec," since it can be used to build programs that execute much faster than the typical one-action-per-frame.
*Global: Set (Double / Int / String / Bool / Vector)
**Creates or changes the global variable <code>str variable</code> to contain the value <code>double/int/string/bool/vector2 value</code> .
*Global (Unset)
**Deletes the global variable with the name <code>str name</code>.
*Local: Set (Double / Int / String / Bool / Vector))
**Creates or changes the local variable <code>str name</code> to contain the value <code>double/int/string/bool/vector2 value</code>.
*Local: (Unset)
**Deletes the local variable with the name <code>str name</code>.

Archercatneo4: /* Software */ Update wave horizon/wave breach for v0.49

{{Building|Tier=8|ConversionRate=750|Image=Hq.png|Color=Purple|ColorCode=purple}}
[[File:Purple resource.png|left|link=Special:FilePath/Purple_resource.png]]
The '''Headquarters''' is a building where you can upgrade your [[Military Tier]], purchase and install software to speed up [[Tower Testing]], or access the [[AI]] scripting feature.

{{clear|left}}
==Building Tiers==
Each tier adds 2 extra server slots and unlocks a new contract.

==Contracts==
The contracts' conditions can be met to increase resource drops in the [[New Round|core game]].
The total resource drop multiplier is <code>Resource Drop Bonus per Fulfilled Contract^(Fulfilled Contracts+1)</code>

===Glass Cannon===
Conditions: Use max. 1 defensive [[Modules|module]].

===Pacifist===
Conditions: Use max. 1 offensive [[Modules|module]].

===Colorful===
Conditions: Use min. 1 [[Modules|module]] of each type (offensive, defensive, utility and ultimate).

===Activist===
Conditions: Use min. 4 active [[Modules|modules]]

===Elementalist===
Conditions: Include [[Modules|modules]] with #tags from each element ('''#Fire, #Water, #Earth, #Air, #Nature, #Electricity, #Light, #Darkness''').

*This means that each tag must appear in the blueprint at least once, but doesn't have to be on a singular module.

===Neutralist===
Conditions: Use between 3 and 15 [[Modules|modules]] with a '''#Neutral''' tag.

===Trickster===
Conditions: Include [[Modules|modules]] with '''#Buff, #Aura, #Reactive and #Chance''' tags.

*This means that each tag must appear in the blueprint at least once, but doesn't have to be on a singular module.

===Annihilist===
Conditions: Use at least 5 [[Modules|modules]] with a '''#Universal''' tag; at least 3 modules with a '''#Area''' tag; and min. 5 Ultimate modules

==Technology==

===Servers===
[[File:Server.png|thumb]] Servers must be purchased in order to hold more CPU and RAM. Servers increase in cost as more are owned. The player can have a maximum of 16 servers.

==Software==
Install programs to speed up the core game. The programs are:

{| class="wikitable"
!Name!!Cost!!Time!!Description
|-
|Autoskip||{{number|50}}||2500000 flop-sec||When activated it removes the waiting time between waves once all enemies have spawned and therefore slightly speeds up wave progression on lower difficulties.
|-
|Wave Streaming||{{number|2.5e5}}||12500 flop-days||Slowly accelerates enemies while at the same time decreasing the spawn interval duration yielding a much higher wave progression speed.
|-
|Wave Surge||{{number|7.5e6}}||100000 flop-days||Improves wave streaming by increasing the maximum acceleration limit. After a certain amount of time entire waves are being skipped. ''Skipped waves do not trigger wave related module effects!''
|-
|Critical Wavejump||{{number|2.25e7}}||150000 flop-days||Provides a 1% chance to skip waves equal to 5% of your wave record of the current region and difficulty whenever you proceed to the next wave as long as you are below your previous record. Only works in [[Endless mode|endless mode]]!
|-
|[[AI|Facility AI]]||{{number|1.75e8}}||200000 flop-days||Unlocks the Facility AI which includes some basic programmable logic scripts.
|-
|Boots.dos||Hint: [[Headquarters#Footnotes|[1]]] <spoiler>Debug the Overflow</spoiler>{{number|3e8}}|| ||Enhances the AI with functions to draw on a canvas that spans over the AI overlay.
|-
|Wave Momentum||{{number|5e8}}||250000 flop-days||Everytime the tower destroys an enemy in [[Endless mode|endless mode]] you gain one more wave the next time the wave counter changes. Afterwards the destroyed enemy counter resets. Only works in endless mode!
|-
|Wave Storm||{{number|1.75e9}}||500000 flop-days||Increases the amount the counter of Wave Momentum increases whenever an enemy is being destroyed by 10% (Multiplicatively) for each completed normal mode. Additionally increases the wave acceleration factor by 0.25 whenever an enemy is being destroyed and Wave Streaming is active.
|-
|Wave Persistence||{{number|3.75e9}}||1000000 flop-days||Improves Wave Momentum by resetting the destroyed enemy counter only to 90% of its previous value instead of zero.
|-
|Wave Instability||{{number|5e12}}||2000000 flop-days||Improves Critical Wavejump by increasing its chance to trigger by another 4% and increases the skipped amount to 10% of your previous record.
|-
|Wave Vortex||{{number|3e13}}||4000000 flop-days||Removes the warm-up time from Wave Streaming and further increases the wave acceleration speed. Can be combined with Wave Surge.
|-
|Wave Catalyst||{{number|1e14}}||5000000 flop-days||Increases the speed of Wave Streaming based on the amount of waves skipped everytime Critical Wavejump triggers. Has no effect if the wave acceleration factor already exceed 1B (1e9).
|-
|Wave Endurance||{{number|4e14}}||6250000 flop-days||Increases the acceleration of Wave Streaming by 5% per second. (This means that the acceleration gets accelerated over time.)
|-
|New Bounds||{{number|2e15}}|| ||[[Endless mode|Endless mode]] starts at [[Era]] 1 if the highest record in the current region and difficulty is equal to or bigger than Era 1. If wave catalyst is active at the same time then the wave acceleration factor will be set to {{number|1e9}}.
|-
|Wave Marathon||{{number|7.5e15}}|| ||Increases the acceleration factor of wave endurance by 100% (From 5% to 10%, 15%, 20%, ...) for each region and difficulty with a highscore equal or greater than era 1.
|-
|Wave Compression||{{number|3e16}}|| ||Reduces the amount of spawn ticks per wave by 50% and increases the destroyed enemy counter of wave momentum exponentially by 0.4% everytime an enemy is being destroyed. Only works in endless mode!
|-
|Era Surge||{{number|5e16}}|| ||Skips to the next [[Era]] every 10 times the wave counter changes. Only works if the current Era is at least 1.
|-

There is another technical limit for speed which is compensated by skipping waves leading to a higher resources/sec increase at the cost of missing out a few enemies.

==Military==
{{Main|Military Tier}}

In the military tab you can soft prestige after meeting certain requirements (unlocking regions, maxing out modules...), which change with every prestige.

Prestiging will reward the player with higher maximum modules tier, new buildings, software, bosses, and other features.

Prestiging will reset the level of all modules, as well as losing all your cubes. Cubes can be regained over a period of 4 hours (1 hour with the exotic skill '''Trustworthy Trust Fund'''). To compensate this, you are rewarded some gems or exotic gems.

Prestiging will not make you lose gems, exotic gems, or non-cube building resources.

You will start at Tier 0, and will eventually reach Tier 4, unlocking access to the [[AI]]. Upon reaching tier 8, you will unlock access to [[Era]] content. [[Infinity]] content is available at Tier 12.

==Facility AI==
{{Main|AI}}

The Facility AI is a section unlocked by attaining military prestige 4 and installing it from software section. The AI allows for multiple automation tasks to be performed, including refreshing [[Mine]] layers, combining power stones at the [[Museum]], using active modules automatically, or simply clicking at specific locations on the screen.

==Skills==
{{See also|Skills (Upgrade)}}

*'''Sponsoring''' - Decreases the resource conversion rate of the headquarters by 5 for each completed difficulty in normal mode. Takes all unlocked regions into account.
*'''Dealbreaker''' - Allows you to cancel non-forever contracts. Does not refund any resources!
*'''Offline Installing''' - Allows the headquarters to continue installing software while the game is closed.

==Exotic Skills==
{{See also|Exotic Skills}}

*'''Trustworthy Trust Fund''' ({{Number|20|icon=[[File:Exotic gem.png|20px]]}}) - Reduces the total time it takes to regain all resources after a tier up by 3 hours.

Power Plant

2024-11-07T16:07:44Z

Archercatneo4: Replace references to "structures" with components and mention the 1.5x cost scaling of components

{{Building|Tier=6|ConversionRate=800|Image=Powerplant.png|Color=Yellow|ColorCode=#E6C900}}
[[File:Yellow resource.png|left|link=Special:FilePath/Yellow_resource.png]]
The '''Power Plant''' is a building used to generate electricity to give speed boosts to other buildings.
[[File:PowerPlant.png|thumb|Power plant example]]

{{Clear|left}}
==Power Grid==
The power grid is where you place components in order to generate and store energy.

You can place components by selecting one from the list on the left of the screen, and then clicking an empty tile. The price of the placed component will increase by 1.5x (mul.) for each component of the same type on the grid, this is reverted if the component is sold.

To sell a component, right-click the filled tile while not having any component selected from the list. Doing so will fully refund the resources you spent buying the component.

Components must connect either orthogonally to a component they supply something to or via pipes if the component provides a fluid can be transported by one. Generators do not need to be connected to a battery, all battery storage and power production is simply added together for their final values.

==Network==
This is where you spend your energy to speed up other buildings:

*[[Construction Firm]]: Reduces construction time for buildings.
*[[Factory]]: Speeds up shard refining, store reload, machine speed, and fabricator speed.
*[[Mine]]: Speeds up the drill, asteroid mining time, and asteroid scanning time.
*[[Headquarters]]: Speeds up download of software and how fast contracts run out.
*[[Shipyard]]: Speeds up shipments.
*[[Museum]]: speeds up artifact research time and offshore market refresh time.
*<spoiler>[[Workshop]]: To boost [[Workshop]] you need an [[Era]] artifact. Boosting the workshop is only relevant for Era-related activities.</spoiler>
*[[Arcade]]: On its own, it only speeds up the cooldown timer of "Refresh Wheel." To effectively boost the [[arcade]] you need to have something else (located in the spoiler below), which reduces the time between delays (such as time between stopping jumble rows) and increases the speed of the lucky wheel. <spoiler>The darkness [[infinity]] stone grants this power.</spoiler>
*[[Trading Post]]: reduces the time between perk refreshes and the timer to reset trades

The more energy you use, the longer and stronger the boost is.

You can boost multiple buildings at the same time, but if they are boosted at exactly the same time then they have to split the energy for the boost, and so the boosts will be weaker. If you are using workers to restart boosts this isn't a problem in practice, because the periods of each building are different, and so each building will end up boosted at a unique time.

===Mechanics===

Boosting applies a percentage of the total available energy (10%, 25%, 50% or 100% depending on your selection) towards boosting. If there are multiple buildings being boosted simultaneously, the energy is split between them. (This splitting will not be shown in the preview numbers before you boost, but it will be apparent afterwards.) Call this energy being allocated to boosting a building <code>BoostEnergy</code>.

Then <code>BoostEnergy</code> is divided between time and effectiveness based on the position of the slider. For effectiveness, the slider runs from 1% to 100% of <code>BoostEnergy</code>, and for time the slider runs from 100% to 1%. This does mean that the overall energy sums to 101%! Call the amount after the the slider <code>PostSlider</code>.

For both time and effectiveness, <code>PostSlider</code> is used as follows: <code>Result = log(PostSlider) * Perks * BaseValue</code>. When displayed, <code>Result</code> is rounded for effectiveness, but truncated for time. The base for the log is 10 normally, or 7 with the Super Boost skill. Perks include Town Perks, as well as the 1.25 multiplier from Max Power if at full power (only applies to effectiveness). The table of <code>BaseValues</code> is:

|{{Inline spoiler|Workshop}}||3:40||21%
|-
|Arcade||5:00||0.5%
|-
|Trading Post||3:00||15%
|}

==Technology==
These are your components for use in the power grid.

You can unlock more by upgrading the Power Plant in the Construction Firm and purchasing the technology level it unlocks.

All components except the water pump and dyson node can be upgraded in the technology tab. All costs are rounded to the nearest resource. The power plant runs at 10 ticks/sec.

*'''Quantum Grid''' - Allows components on the power grid to connect to components on the opposite edge of the grid.
*'''Super Boost''' - Using more power for boosts has a higher impact on duration/effectivity. (Log10 -> Log7)
*'''Max. Power''' - Increases the effectiveness of all active boosts by 25% (multiplicative) if the current amount of power exceeds the maximum amount.
*'''Efficient Recycling''' - Lowers the base conversion rate from town resources to power plant resources to 600.
*'''Shutdown''' - Allows you to cancel boosts anytime. Does not refund any power!
*'''Yellowprints''' - Unlocks the ability to store up to 3 different layouts of the power plant as well as the functionality to import, export and apply them at any time. Additionally adds the an option to sell the entire grid.

Power Plant

Archercatneo4: Overhaul technology section. Things done: added icons, tables, Number templates, a missing upgrade and fixed misc typos.

{{Building|Tier=6|ConversionRate=800|Image=Powerplant.png|Color=Yellow|ColorCode=#E6C900}}
[[File:Yellow resource.png|left]]
The '''Power Plant''' is a building used to generate electricity to give speed boosts to other buildings.
[[File:PowerPlant.png|thumb|Power plant example]]

{{Clear|left}}
==Power Grid==
The power grid is where you place structures in order to generate and store energy.

You can place structures by selecting one from the list on the left of the screen, and then clicking an empty tile.

To delete a structure, right-click the filled tile while not having any structure selected from the list. Doing so will refund you 25% of the resource you spent buying the component. This can be increased to 50% if you have Component Recycling Skill.

Structures can connect with each other without the use of pipes, but pipes can be used to use resources more efficiently at times.

==Network==
This is where you spend your energy to speed up other buildings:

*[[Construction Firm]]: Reduces construction time for buildings.
*[[Factory]]: Speeds up shard refining, store reload, machine speed, and fabricator speed.
*[[Mine]]: Speeds up the drill, asteroid mining time, and asteroid scanning time.
*[[Headquarters]]: Speeds up download of software and how fast contracts run out.
*[[Shipyard]]: Speeds up shipments.
*[[Museum]]: speeds up artifact research time and offshore market refresh time.
*<spoiler>[[Workshop]]: To boost [[Workshop]] you need an [[Era]] artifact. Boosting the workshop is only relevant for Era-related activities.</spoiler>
*[[Arcade]]: On its own, it only speeds up the cooldown timer of "Refresh Wheel." To effectively boost the [[arcade]] you need to have something else (located in the spoiler below), which reduces the time between delays (such as time between stopping jumble rows) and increases the speed of the lucky wheel. <spoiler>The darkness [[infinity]] stone grants this power.</spoiler>
*[[Trading Post]]: reduces the time between perk refreshes and the timer to reset trades

The more energy you use, the longer and stronger the boost is.

You can boost multiple buildings at the same time, but if they are boosted at exactly the same time then they have to split the energy for the boost, and so the boosts will be weaker. If you are using workers to restart boosts this isn't a problem in practice, because the periods of each building are different, and so each building will end up boosted at a unique time.

===Mechanics===

Boosting applies a percentage of the total available energy (10%, 25%, 50% or 100% depending on your selection) towards boosting. If there are multiple buildings being boosted simultaneously, the energy is split between them. (This splitting will not be shown in the preview numbers before you boost, but it will be apparent afterwards.) Call this energy being allocated to boosting a building <code>BoostEnergy</code>.

Then <code>BoostEnergy</code> is divided between time and effectiveness based on the position of the slider. For effectiveness, the slider runs from 1% to 100% of <code>BoostEnergy</code>, and for time the slider runs from 100% to 1%. This does mean that the overall energy sums to 101%! Call the amount after the the slider <code>PostSlider</code>.

For both time and effectiveness, <code>PostSlider</code> is used as follows: <code>Result = log(PostSlider) * Perks * BaseValue</code>. When displayed, <code>Result</code> is rounded for effectiveness, but truncated for time. The base for the log is 10 normally, or 7 with the Super Boost skill. Perks include Town Perks, as well as the 1.25 multiplier from Max Power if at full power (only applies to effectiveness). The table of <code>BaseValues</code> is:

{| class="wikitable"

|{{Inline spoiler|Workshop}}||3:40||21%
|-
|Arcade||5:00||0.5%
|-
|Trading Post||3:00||15%
|}

==Technology==
These are your components for use in the power grid.

You can unlock more by upgrading the Power Plant in the Construction Firm and purchasing the technology level it unlocks.

All components except the water pump can be upgraded in the technology tab. All costs are rounded to the nearest resource. The power plant runs at 10 ticks/sec.

==Skills==
{{See also|Skills (Upgrade)}}

*'''Quantum Grid''' - Allows components on the power grid to connect to components on the opposite edge of the grid.
*'''Super Boost''' - Using more power for boosts has a higher impact on duration/effectivity. (Log10 -> Log7)
*'''Max. Power''' - Increases the effectiveness of all active boosts by 25% (multiplicative) if the current amount of power exceeds the maximum amount.
*'''Efficient Recycling''' - Lowers the base conversion rate from town resources to power plant resources to 600.
*'''Shutdown''' - Allows you to cancel boosts anytime. Does not refund any power!
*'''Yellowprints''' - Unlocks the ability to store up to 3 different layouts of the power plant as well as the functionality to import, export and apply them at any time. Additionally adds the an option to sell the entire grid.

==Exotic Skills==
{{See also|Exotic Skills}}

*'''Hibernation Mode''' ({{Number|50|icon=[[File:Exotic gem.png|20px]]}}) - Boosts stop losing their duration while the game is closed but still affect all buildings during that time as many they would normally do.

{{Building|Tier=6|ConversionRate=800|Image=Powerplant.png|Color=Yellow|ColorCode=#E6C900}}
[[File:Yellow resource.png|left]]
The '''Power Plant''' is a building used to generate electricity to give speed boosts to other buildings.
[[File:PowerPlant.png|thumb|Power plant example]]

{{Clear|left}}
==Power Grid==
The power grid is where you place structures in order to generate and store energy.

You can place structures by selecting one from the list on the left of the screen, and then clicking an empty tile.

To delete a structure, right-click the filled tile while not having any structure selected from the list. Doing so will refund you 25% of the resource you spent buying the component. This can be increased to 50% if you have Component Recycling Skill.

Structures can connect with each other without the use of pipes, but pipes can be used to use resources more efficiently at times.

==Network==
This is where you spend your energy to speed up other buildings:

*[[Construction Firm]]: Reduces construction time for buildings.
*[[Factory]]: Speeds up shard refining, store reload, machine speed, and fabricator speed.
*[[Mine]]: Speeds up the drill, asteroid mining time, and asteroid scanning time.
*[[Headquarters]]: Speeds up download of software and how fast contracts run out.
*[[Shipyard]]: Speeds up shipments.
*[[Museum]]: speeds up artifact research time and offshore market refresh time.
* <spoiler>[[Workshop]]: To boost [[Workshop]] you need an [[Era]] artifact. Boosting the workshop is only relevant for Era-related activities.</spoiler>
*[[Arcade]]: On its own, it only speeds up the cooldown timer of "Refresh Wheel." To effectively boost the [[arcade]] you need to have something else (located in the spoiler below), which reduces the time between delays (such as time between stopping jumble rows) and increases the speed of the lucky wheel. <spoiler>The darkness [[infinity]] stone grants this power.</spoiler>
*[[Trading Post]]: reduces the time between perk refreshes and the timer to reset trades

The more energy you use, the longer and stronger the boost is.

You can boost multiple buildings at the same time, but if they are boosted at exactly the same time then they have to split the energy for the boost, and so the boosts will be weaker. If you are using workers to restart boosts this isn't a problem in practice, because the periods of each building are different, and so each building will end up boosted at a unique time.

===Mechanics===

Boosting applies a percentage of the total available energy (10%, 25%, 50% or 100% depending on your selection) towards boosting. If there are multiple buildings being boosted simultaneously, the energy is split between them. (This splitting will not be shown in the preview numbers before you boost, but it will be apparent afterwards.) Call this energy being allocated to boosting a building <code>BoostEnergy</code>.

Then <code>BoostEnergy</code> is divided between time and effectiveness based on the position of the slider. For effectiveness, the slider runs from 1% to 100% of <code>BoostEnergy</code>, and for time the slider runs from 100% to 1%. This does mean that the overall energy sums to 101%! Call the amount after the the slider <code>PostSlider</code>.

For both time and effectiveness, <code>PostSlider</code> is used as follows: <code>Result = log(PostSlider) * Perks * BaseValue</code>. When displayed, <code>Result</code> is rounded for effectiveness, but truncated for time. The base for the log is 10 normally, or 7 with the Super Boost skill. Perks include Town Perks, as well as the 1.25 multiplier from Max Power if at full power (only applies to effectiveness). The table of <code>BaseValues</code> is:

{| class="wikitable"
! Building !! Time !! Effectiveness
|-
| Construction Firm || 4:00 || 20%
|-
| Factory || 3:00 || 15%
|-
| Mine || 3:20 || 18%
|-
| Headquarters || 2:00 || 22%
|-
| Shipyard || 5:00 || 10%
|-
| Museum || 3:00 || 15%
|-
| {{Inline spoiler|Workshop}} || 3:40 || 21%
|-
| Arcade || 5:00 || 0.5%
|-
| Trading Post || 3:00 || 15%
|}

==Skills==
{{See also|Skills (Upgrade)}}

*'''Quantum Grid''' - Allows components on the power grid to connect to components on the opposite edge of the grid.
*'''Super Boost''' - Using more power for boosts has a higher impact on duration/effectivity. (Log10 -> Log7)
*'''Max. Power''' - Increases the effectiveness of all active boosts by 25% (multiplicative) if the current amount of power exceeds the maximum amount.
*'''Efficient Recycling''' - Lowers the base conversion rate from town resources to power plant resources to 600.
*'''Shutdown''' - Allows you to cancel boosts anytime. Does not refund any power!
*'''Yellowprints''' - Unlocks the ability to store up to 3 different layouts of the power plant as well as the functionality to import, export and apply them at any time. Additionally adds the an option to sell the entire grid.

==Exotic Skills==
{{See also|Exotic Skills}}
*'''Hibernation Mode''' ({{Number|50|icon=[[File:Exotic gem.png|20px]]}}) - Boosts stop losing their duration while the game is closed but still affect all buildings during that time as many they would normally do.

{{Building|Tier=6|ConversionRate=800|Image=Powerplant.png|Color=Yellow|ColorCode=#E6C900}}
[[File:Yellow resource.png|left]]
The '''Power Plant''' is a building used to generate electricity to give speed boosts to other buildings.
[[File:PowerPlant.png|thumb|Power plant example]]

{{Clear|left}}
==Power Grid==
The power grid is where you place structures in order to generate and store energy.

You can place structures by selecting one from the list on the left of the screen, and then clicking an empty tile.

To delete a structure, right-click the filled tile while not having any structure selected from the list. Doing so will refund you 25% of the resource you spent buying the component. This can be increased to 50% if you have Component Recycling Skill.

Structures can connect with each other without the use of pipes, but pipes can be used to use resources more efficiently at times.

==Network==
This is where you spend your energy to speed up other buildings:

*[[Construction Firm]]: Reduces construction time for buildings.
*[[Factory]]: Speeds up shard refining, store reload, machine speed, and fabricator speed.
*[[Mine]]: Speeds up the drill, asteroid mining time, and asteroid scanning time.
*[[Headquarters]]: Speeds up download of software and how fast contracts run out.
*[[Shipyard]]: Speeds up shipments.
*[[Museum]]: speeds up artifact research time and offshore market refresh time.
* <spoiler>[[Workshop]]: To boost [[Workshop]] you need an [[Era]] artifact. Boosting the workshop is only relevant for Era-related activities.</spoiler>
*[[Arcade]]: On its own, it only speeds up the cooldown timer of "Refresh Wheel." To effectively boost the [[arcade]] you need to have something else (located in the spoiler below), which reduces the time between delays (such as time between stopping jumble rows) and increases the speed of the lucky wheel. <spoiler>The darkness [[infinity]] stone grants this power.</spoiler>
*[[Trading Post]]: reduces the time between perk refreshes and the timer to reset trades

The more energy you use, the longer and stronger the boost is.

You can boost multiple buildings at the same time, but if they are boosted at exactly the same time then they have to split the energy for the boost, and so the boosts will be weaker. If you are using workers to restart boosts this isn't a problem in practice, because the periods of each building are different, and so each building will end up boosted at a unique time.

===Mechanics===

Boosting applies a percentage of the total available energy (10%, 25%, 50% or 100% depending on your selection) towards boosting. If there are multiple buildings being boosted simultaneously, the energy is split between them. (This splitting will not be shown in the preview numbers before you boost, but it will be apparent afterwards.) Call this energy being allocated to boosting a building <code>BoostEnergy</code>.

Then <code>BoostEnergy</code> is divided between time and effectiveness based on the position of the slider. For effectiveness, the slider runs from 1% to 100% of <code>BoostEnergy</code>, and for time the slider runs from 100% to 1%. This does mean that the overall energy sums to 101%! Call the amount after the the slider <code>PostSlider</code>.

For both time and effectiveness, <code>PostSlider</code> is used as follows: <code>Result = log(PostSlider) * Perks * BaseValue</code>. When displayed, <code>Result</code> is rounded for effectiveness, but truncated for time. The base for the log is 10 normally, or 7 with the Super Boost skill. Perks include Town Perks, as well as the 1.25 multiplier from Max Power if at full power (only applies to effectiveness). The table of <code>BaseValues</code> is:

{| class="wikitable"
! Building !! Time !! Effectiveness
|-
| Construction Firm || 4:00 || 20%
|-
| Factory || 3:00 || 15%
|-
| Mine || 3:20 || 18%
|-
| Headquarters || 2:00 || 22%
|-
| Shipyard || 5:00 || 10%
|-
| Museum || 3:00 || 15%
|-
| {{Inline spoiler|Workshop}} || 3:40 || 21%
|-

==Skills==
{{See also|Skills (Upgrade)}}

*'''Quantum Grid''' - Allows components on the power grid to connect to components on the opposite edge of the grid.
*'''Super Boost''' - Using more power for boosts has a higher impact on duration/effectivity. (Log10 -> Log7)
*'''Max. Power''' - Increases the effectiveness of all active boosts by 25% (multiplicative) if the current amount of power exceeds the maximum amount.
*'''Efficient Recycling''' - Lowers the base conversion rate from town resources to power plant resources to 600.
*'''Shutdown''' - Allows you to cancel boosts anytime. Does not refund any power!
*'''Yellowprints''' - Unlocks the ability to store up to 3 different layouts of the power plant as well as the functionality to import, export and apply them at any time. Additionally adds the an option to sell the entire grid.

==Exotic Skills==
{{See also|Exotic Skills}}
*'''Hibernation Mode''' ({{Number|50|icon=[[File:Exotic gem.png|20px]]}}) - Boosts stop losing their duration while the game is closed but still affect all buildings during that time as many they would normally do.

[[File:NatureExperiment.png|thumb|The Nature Experiment|link=Special:FilePath/NatureExperiment.png]]
[[File:Experiment Nature icon.png|left|link=Special:FilePath/Experiment_Nature_icon.png]]
The '''Nature experiment''' is one of 12 experiments of the [[laboratory]], available at laboratory tier 2.

The goal of the experiment is to grow a variety of different plants by altering the temperature, daylight and surrounding plants.
{{clear|left}}
=Mechanic=
[[File:Plant list t1-5.png|thumb|Plant types listed above from left to right|link=Special:FilePath/Plant_list_t1-5.png]]

Plant seeds in the grid, water and then wait for plants to grow. Click the plants with an empty mouse to harvest when ready, and use the shovel to delete seeds/plants.

Flowers grow into a number of different mutations depending on a combination of the following factors:

*Time of day (day or night)
*Temperature (hot, cold or neutral) of its own tile
*Temperature of 1 or more of the surrounding tiles
*Number and type(s) of the plants in surrounding tiles

The player must experiment with the above factors to find all mutations and unlock the rewards.

Headquarters

2024-09-02T11:35:03Z

Archercatneo4: /* Software */ Add cost of wave breach

{{Building|Tier=8|ConversionRate=750|Image=Hq.png|Color=Purple|ColorCode=purple}}
[[File:Purple resource.png|left|link=Special:FilePath/Purple_resource.png]]
The '''Headquarters''' is a building where you can upgrade your [[Military Tier]], purchase and install software to speed up [[Tower Testing]], or access the [[AI]] scripting feature.

{{clear|left}}
==Building Tiers==
Each tier adds 2 extra server slots and unlocks a new contract.

==Contracts==
The contracts' conditions can be met to increase resource drops in the [[New Round|core game]].
The total resource drop multiplier is <code>Resource Drop Bonus per Fulfilled Contract^(Fulfilled Contracts+1)</code>

===Glass Cannon===
Conditions: Use max. 1 defensive [[Modules|module]].

===Pacifist===
Conditions: Use max. 1 offensive [[Modules|module]].

===Colorful===
Conditions: Use min. 1 [[Modules|module]] of each type (offensive, defensive, utility and ultimate).

===Activist===
Conditions: Use min. 4 active [[Modules|modules]]

===Elementalist===
Conditions: Include [[Modules|modules]] with #tags from each element ('''#Fire, #Water, #Earth, #Air, #Nature, #Electricity, #Light, #Darkness''').
* This means that each tag must appear in the blueprint at least once, but doesn't have to be on a singular module.

===Neutralist===
Conditions: Use between 3 and 15 [[Modules|modules]] with a '''#Neutral''' tag.

===Trickster===
Conditions: Include [[Modules|modules]] with '''#Buff, #Aura, #Reactive and #Chance''' tags.
* This means that each tag must appear in the blueprint at least once, but doesn't have to be on a singular module.

===Annihilist===
Conditions: Use at least 5 [[Modules|modules]] with a '''#Universal''' tag; at least 3 modules with a '''#Area''' tag; and min. 5 Ultimate modules

==Technology==

===Servers===
[[File:Server.png|thumb]] Servers must be purchased in order to hold more CPU and RAM. Servers increase in cost as more are owned. The player can have a maximum of 16 servers.

===CPU===
[[File:CPU.png|thumb|link=Special:FilePath/CPU.png]] CPU increases the speed at which new technology is researched. Each server can hold a maximum of 27.49 THz CPU. You get 1 'flop' for each 20Hz, so the maximum amount of CPU possible (with 16 servers) is 21.99 T flops.

The formula for the cost of each CPU upgrade is {{Math|5''tier'' × 4}}

The formula for the amount of speed each tier grants is {{Math|4''tier'' × 25}} Hz

==Software==
Install programs to speed up the core game. The programs are:

{| class="wikitable"
!Name!!Cost!!Time!!Description
|-
|Autoskip||{{number|50}}||2500000 flop-sec||When activated it removes the waiting time between waves once all enemies have spawned and therefore slightly speeds up wave progression on lower difficulties.
|-
|Wave Streaming||{{number|2.5e5}}||12500 flop-days||Slowly accelerates enemies while at the same time decreasing the spawn interval duration yielding a much higher wave progression speed.
|-
|Wave Surge||{{number|7.5e6}}||100000 flop-days||Improves wave streaming by increasing the maximum acceleration limit. After a certain amount of time entire waves are being skipped. ''Skipped waves do not trigger wave related module effects!''
|-
|Critical Wavejump||{{number|2.25e7}}||150000 flop-days||Provides a 1% chance to skip waves equal to 5% of your wave record of the current region and difficulty whenever you proceed to the next wave as long as you are below your previous record. Only works in [[Endless mode|endless mode]]!
|-
|[[AI|Facility AI]]||{{number|1.75e8}}||200000 flop-days||Unlocks the Facility AI which includes some basic programmable logic scripts.
|-
|Boots.dos||Hint: [[Headquarters#Footnotes|[1]]] <spoiler>Debug the Overflow</spoiler>{{number|3e8}}|| ||Enhances the AI with functions to draw on a canvas that spans over the AI overlay.
|-
|Wave Momentum||{{number|5e8}}||250000 flop-days||Everytime the tower destroys an enemy in [[Endless mode|endless mode]] you gain one more wave the next time the wave counter changes. Afterwards the destroyed enemy counter resets. Only works in endless mode!
|-
|Wave Storm||{{number|1.75e9}}||500000 flop-days||Increases the amount the counter of Wave Momentum increases whenever an enemy is being destroyed by 10% (Multiplicatively) for each completed normal mode. Additionally increases the wave acceleration factor by 0.25 whenever an enemy is being destroyed and Wave Streaming is active.
|-
|Wave Persistence||{{number|3.75e9}}||1000000 flop-days||Improves Wave Momentum by resetting the destroyed enemy counter only to 90% of its previous value instead of zero.
|-
|Wave Instability||{{number|5e12}}||2000000 flop-days||Improves Critical Wavejump by increasing its chance to trigger by another 4% and increases the skipped amount to 10% of your previous record.
|-
|Wave Vortex||{{number|3e13}}||4000000 flop-days||Removes the warm-up time from Wave Streaming and further increases the wave acceleration speed. Can be combined with Wave Surge.
|-
|Wave Catalyst||{{number|1e14}}||5000000 flop-days||Increases the speed of Wave Streaming based on the amount of waves skipped everytime Critical Wavejump triggers. Has no effect if the wave acceleration factor already exceed 1B (1e9).
|-
|Wave Endurance||{{number|4e14}}||6250000 flop-days||Increases the acceleration of Wave Streaming by 5% per second. (This means that the acceleration gets accelerated over time.)
|-
|New Bounds||{{number|2e15}}|| ||[[Endless mode|Endless mode]] starts at [[Era]] 1 if the highest record in the current region and difficulty is equal to or bigger than Era 1. If wave catalyst is active at the same time then the wave acceleration factor will be set to {{number|1e9}}.
|-
|Wave Marathon||{{number|7.5e15}}|| ||Increases the acceleration factor of wave endurance by 100% (From 5% to 10%, 15%, 20%, ...) for each region and difficulty with a highscore equal or greater than era 1.
|-
|Wave Compression||{{number|3e16}}|| ||Reduces the amount of spawn ticks per wave by 50% and increases the destroyed enemy counter of wave momentum exponentially by 0.4% everytime an enemy is being destroyed. Only works in endless mode!
|-
|Era Surge||{{number|5e16}}|| ||Skips to the next [[Era]] every 10 times the wave counter changes. Only works if the current Era is at least 1.
|-
|Era Burst||{{number|3e17}}|| ||Skips (Total amount of waves skipped)^0.5 eras whenever the wave counter changes. If Era Surge is active then its effect will change to a 10% boost for Era Burst
|-
|Era Swirl||{{number|8e18}}|| ||Increases the amount of eras skipped the greater your gap to era {{number|1e11}} is. Has no effect if your current era is bigger than {{number|1e11}}.
|-
|Wave Horizon||{{number|9e19}}|| ||Multiplies the acceleration speed of wave streaming by 25 for each region and difficulty with a highscore equal or greater than era 1. Only works if current era is below {{number|1e11}}.
|-
|No Bounds||{{number|3e21}}|| ||Endless mode starts at [[Infinity]] 1 if the highest record in the current region and difficulty is equal to or bigger than Infinity 1. If wave catalyst is active at the same time then the wave acceleration factor will be set to {{number|1e9}}.
|-
|Era Tunneling||{{number|1e22}}|| ||Increases the amount of eras skipped by 25% and by an additional +25% for each region where all difficulties in endless have a highscore of infinity 1 or greater.
|-
|Wave Breach||{{number|5e22}}|| ||Removes the infinity based limitation of wave horizon and boosts the accel gain from wave streaming based on the highest wave acceleration amount you have ever reached in any region. Formula for multiplier: Log10(10+Highest Acceleration/100)
|-
|Wave Floor||{{number|5e22}}|| ||Prevents the wave counter from going below {{number|1e8}} if the highest era in the current region is bigger than 0.
|-
|Era Floor||{{number|5e24}}||5e11 flop-hours||Prevents the era counter from going below {{number|1e8}} if the highest infinity in the current region is bigger than 0.
|-
|Era Horizon||{{number|1.2e27}}||1e12 flop-hours||As long as this software is active, each difficulty in each region with a highscore equal to or greater than Infinity 1 multiplies the amount of eras skipped using era software by 4 (additively) and the exponent of era burst by 0.002 (additively). Removes the Era/Infinity restriction of Era Swirl as well.
|-
|Wave Restart||{{number|5e28}}||1.5e12 flop-hours||If this software is active then a new round in tower testing will start at your previous record. If wave catalyst is active at the same time then the wave acceleration factor will be set to {{number|1e9}}. With this software you can technically push forever so use it wisely.
|-
|Infinity Horizion||{{number|1.5e30}}||2e12 flop-hours||Turns era swirl into a constant multiplier with the same value as the "maximum bonus would have provided." (11x) Also doubles the wave acceleration speed as well as the acceleration of the acceleration.
|}

There is another technical limit for speed which is compensated by skipping waves leading to a higher resources/sec increase at the cost of missing out a few enemies.

==Military==
{{Main|Military Tier}}

In the military tab you can soft prestige after meeting certain requirements (unlocking regions, maxing out modules...), which change with every prestige.

Prestiging will reward the player with higher maximum modules tier, new buildings, software, bosses, and other features.

Prestiging will reset the level of all modules, as well as losing all your cubes. Cubes can be regained over a period of 4 hours (1 hour with the exotic skill '''Trustworthy Trust Fund'''). To compensate this, you are rewarded some gems or exotic gems.

Prestiging will not make you lose gems, exotic gems, or non-cube building resources.

You will start at Tier 0, and will eventually reach Tier 4, unlocking access to the [[AI]]. Upon reaching tier 8, you will unlock access to [[Era]] content. [[Infinity]] content is available at Tier 12.

==Facility AI==
{{Main|AI}}

The Facility AI is a section unlocked by attaining military prestige 4 and installing it from software section. The AI allows for multiple automation tasks to be performed, including refreshing [[Mine]] layers, combining power stones at the [[Museum]], using active modules automatically, or simply clicking at specific locations on the screen.

==Skills==
{{See also|Skills (Upgrade)}}

*'''Sponsoring''' - Decreases the resource conversion rate of the headquarters by 5 for each completed difficulty in normal mode. Takes all unlocked regions into account.
*'''Dealbreaker''' - Allows you to cancel non-forever contracts. Does not refund any resources!
*'''Offline Installing''' - Allows the headquarters to continue installing software while the game is closed.

==Exotic Skills==
{{See also|Exotic Skills}}
*'''Trustworthy Trust Fund''' ({{Number|20|icon=[[File:Exotic gem.png|20px]]}}) - Reduces the total time it takes to regain all resources after a tier up by 3 hours.
