    So let's talk about the two other alien phenomena that you're going to be able to uncover.

    So let's start with summer sloops.

    So as you may or may not have guessed, summer sloops are going to be used in this machine.

    This is the power augmenter.

    And the way this machine works is it essentially takes your existing power grid and augments it and makes it better and makes it stronger and with better access to the internet.

    And I'll explain how.

    So from Summer Sloops, you're going to be able to create a power augmenter.

    When you place down this building, you're going to get automatically 500 megawatts of power just straight out of the machine.

    So it's just like you just get free power essentially from the Summer Sloop, I guess.

    And then what it does is, when you connect it to a circuit, it will amplify that grid by 10%.

    So essentially, if you place down a power augmenter, you hook it up to your power grid, you get more power.

    Just, that's it.

    There are no strings attached.

    The only trade-off is that you need to spend a Summersloop, and please remember that, like, Summersloops and Mercosphere are limited resources on the map, so you can't build an infinite amount of these.

    But, yeah, essentially, when you place a power augmenter and you hook it up to your...

    power grid, you're just going to get free power.

    It's free power.

    And the more power augmenters you build and place and hook up, the more you're going to augment your grid.

    So they kind of stack, but not really.

    And I'll clarify a little bit further.

    So yeah, you can add more augmenters to further boost your grid, but they don't boost like each other's boost, if that makes sense.

    It's not like percentage on percentage, if that makes sense.

    So let's get a bit nerdy, okay?

    So the way that power augmentation works is based on this formula, right?

    So P is your general production and N is the number of augmenters that you've placed on your grid, right?

    So the first thing we do is we calculate your base production, which is like your production from your circuit

    and then it's the base power from the augmenters which is 500 megawatts per augmenter so 500 times n and then we add on top of that the calculated boost and we calculate the boost by taking this this number that we just had p plus 500 times n and then we multiply that with 10 one divided by 10 times the amount of augmenters

    and that way we're gonna get the number of uh boosted power this will also be on the test by the way i hope you take took notes it's not over yet and uh one thing i also want to mention for this formula is that uh power storages are not included in like this like whole calculation because they can mess everything up like we just wanted to make sort of a simple uh way to sort of see this and you can see how much your your power grid is boosted uh when you're looking at the circuit because you'll get like that little number at the bottom there

    So power augmentation is real cool, but that's not the only thing you can use summer sloops for.
