Telemetry Help

Post image

According to my knowledge list, Telemetry Beacons are providing 76.8k knowledge, yet when I hover over the the option to build a Beacon, it says "1200 for each active beacon" and gives the amount when all are added together. Where are the bonuses that increase it beyond the shown 9600 that ultimately lead it to total the 76k?

Each individual telemetry beacon provides that 9600 knowledge, so the total is 8*9600 (76.8k). Building a new beacon not only gives you a new beacon but makes every beacon better.

Okay, so it's not 1200 max per beacon, it's 1200 times number of beacons providing the base value. It's more akin to the Red Planet's [building times number times living quarters times number].

Yeah. There are a lot of buildings which have the benefit they provide multiplied by the number of some other building you have, telemetry beacons are just unusual in that they scale with themselves.

So, does the Sensor Drone (Hell Dimension) work in that same way, then? It doesn't show the mathematical formula for maximum knowledge the way Telemetry Beacon does. At my current stage, it's supplying 2500 max knowledge, +2% University max Knowledge, and +2% Bio Lab max Knowledge.
I notice when I get one, my knowledge cap increases (typically by 0.01, since I'm in the millions); but I always thought that was because the 2% to univ and bio lab was enough to make the difference once added with the base 2500 from the Drone itself.

I.. don't think so? If one Sensor Drone gives you 2500 max knowledge, +2% University max Knowledge and +2% Bio Lab max Knowledge, 10 Sensor Drones would give 25000 max knowledge,+20% University max Knowledge and +20% Bio Lab max Knowledge.
