The Underwell: Basic Optimizer Booster

Howdy-do engineers! Today, we are going to be taking a look at another common booster. Tomorrow you will get something more unique again, but we feel that it is good to highlight all sorts of boosters, the less interesting ones as well as those that require us to talk about… Wootz steel or whatever. This is one of the less interesting ones. Basic Optimizer. It, well, optimizes your substance input. In a basic way. You will use 5% less input for the original output.  There’s honestly not much to say about this one. I’d love to tell you more about …

The Underwell: Time Warp Booster

Hello Engineers. Most of the boosters we’ll be highlighting are legendary or epic, but today we’re unveiling a common booster – the Time Warp! It increases the input and output in the factory – and is a simple way to speed up production.      Sometimes we’re in a rush and really need those extra resources to finish a quest, get the resources needed for that uber-cool printed tile that you can’t wait to show off, or to simply send a contract. Instead of waiting, you can boost with the Time Warp. And you’ll be able to do it often, …

Hello! Today we’re taking a look at another of my favorites – the legendary Overwell Leak! This bad boi is a tear in the overwell bridge that will cause some additional substance to literally leak from the depths of Noranti without physical harvesting – something you should never try at home, young engineers. Don’t mess up the fabric of space and time more than twice a day. Ever.      Everyone wants more substance, and harvesters running at full capacity can do 16 per second. This bad boy on the other hand can generate 20 substances per second from absolutely …

The Underwell: Solar Flare Booster

Hello again! Today we are going to take a look at ‘Solar Flare’, an Epic-tier booster that is designed to shake up the gameplay and give some more purpose to an underused device. Solar Flare is one of those things that is not necessarily meant to be an improvement, but rather to introduce new challenges and to provide a more varied experience. It sits firmly in the “bad, but fun” category. Solar Flare removes the need for heating up materials. It sets the ambient temperature of a factory to 25° for 12 hours, a bit above the white-hot heating point …

The Underwell: Tri-Laxian Steel Composite Booster

    Hello, engineers, and welcome to our first booster showcase! The Underwell Update contains over 20 boosters. In these blog posts we will be taking a closer look at some of them. A new blog post featuring a new booster or something else will be released every few days to give you something to think about while we get things ready for release. Some of them are minor, easily digestible or simple, while others will introduce entirely new challenges for you to wrap your minds around. We are so excited to share some of these with you.     …
