about the two other alien phenomena that you're going to be able to uncover so let's start with Summers sloops so as you may or may not have guessed summers sloops are going to be used in this machine this is the power augmentor 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 Summers slops you're going to be able to create a power augmentor when you place down this building you're going to get automatically 500 megawatt of power just straight out of the machine so it's just like a it just you just get free Power essentially from the sumers hoop 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 augmentor you hook it up to your power grid you get more power just that's it there are no strings attach the only trade-off is that you need to spend a summers slop and please remember that like Summers slops and mosphere are limited resources on the map so you can't build an infinite amount of these but yeah essentially when you place a power augmentor and you hook it up to your to your power grid you're just going to get free Power it's free Power and the more power augmentors you 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 you can add more augmenters to further boost your grid, but they don't boost like each other's boost if that makes sense like it's not like percentage on percentage if that makes sense so so let's get a bit nerdy okay so 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 your base production which is like your production from your circuit and then it's, the base power from the augmentor which is 500 megawatt per augmentor so 500 * 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 + 500 * n and then we multiply that with, 10% 1 / 10, times the amount of augmentors and that way we're going to get the number of, boosted power this will also be on the test by the way I hope you take took notes it's not over yet and, one thing I also want to mention for this formula is that, 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, way to sort of see this and you can see how much your your power grid is boosted, when you're looking at the circuit cuz you'll get like that little number at the bottom there so power augmentation is
