The Underwell: Tri-Laxian Trade Secret

Hello once again! Today we have another lore-heavy booster, and it’s to do with the Tri-Laxians again!  The Tri-Laxians are a technologically advanced race of beings.

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 …
