I’m just going by assumptions here, but if you press . and bring up the debug screen, you can see certain values by the prestige value of the beacon you’re standing in.
There are things such as ‘exotic bonus’, ‘build ratio’, and ‘chisel ratio’, I’m paraphrasing seeing as I’m not in-game right now, but all those values add up to a percentage which is displayed at the end - such as 127%
The only thing I’m certain of is that the percentage increases the ‘base value’ of your prestige by said amount.
I understand we won’t have the debug screen on launch, and that there will be further complexity and nuance added to the current prestige system, but it’ll be figured out eventually. The internet always finds a way, and someone will be stamping out optimal templates before long.
@luke-turbulenz mentioned making blocks upgradable, essentially making all blocks equal;
I am curious however, and maybe either @luke-turbulenz or someone else in the know can fill me in here, but will this crafting upgrade also apply to mud, dirt, leaves, ice, and so on?
I suppose I could look past the fact that crafters are upgrading mud.
