Crawler

The Crawler increases the production of metal, crystal and Deuterium on their planet by 0.02% of each resource, per crawler. Those in collector case get a further production bonus. The maximum total bonus depends on the overall level of your mines.

Evaluation

• Shipyard (Level 5)
• Combustion Drive (Level 4)
• Armour Technology (Level 4)
• Laser Technology (Level 4)

Formulas

• $((metalminelevel+crystalminelevel+deutsynthlevel)*y*0,02)*1,5$
  • y = server setting factor (e.g. 8 )
  • 1,5 if class = collector
    • leads to 50% higher production if crawler used by collector class

The amount of Crawlers shown in your resource setting is the working amount, not the total amount. Your working amount of Crawlers is capped by your total mine levels. Only working Crawlers consume energy and produce.

How to calculate the active Crawlers: (Metal Mine level + Crystal Mine level + Deuterium Syn level)*8 Example: (21 +20+19) * 8 = 480 active crawlers - no point to build 481 as only 480 will be used

How to calculate the Crawler bonus for class Discoverer and General: (Metal Mine level + Crystal Mine level + Deuterium Syn level)*8*0.0002

How to calculate the Crawler bonus for class Collector: (Metal Mine level + Crystal Mine level + Deuterium Syn level)*8*0.0002*1.5
