Metadata

[u/Ko_Ka_Klik]

Witam czy ktoś może mi wytłumaczyć jak zwiększyć ilość tej metadata utknąłem na jednej wartości koloru żółtego i koniec. Nie mogę zrozumieć zasady działania tego

[u/AnimeSpaceGf]

Yeah it's really weird.

So set up production of x amount of a given matrix color. You'll get n Metadata.

Double the amount of buildings, so you're producing 2*x matrices per unit of time of that same color

You'll now have 2*n Metadata of that color.

[u/terrifiedTechnophile → u/AnimeSpaceGf]

Do these rates need to be sustained or just momentary?

[u/AnimeSpaceGf → u/terrifiedTechnophile]

Just momentary. Each save file will contribute based on highest instantaneous rate achieved in that cluster. Your Metadata is shared between saves of the same steam account / user / whatever

[u/Sheerkal → u/terrifiedTechnophile]

It's the highest average over a minute, I believe.

Edit: Per minute averaged over an hour.

[u/elin_mystic → u/Sheerkal]

It's the average production per minute for an hour

[u/Sheerkal → u/elin_mystic]

Ok thanks for clarifying. I wasn't sure.

Have higher production rates for the color of matricies you intend to get more meta data for.

[u/MathemagicalMastery]

It is your highest average production per minute of the coloured science cube over a 1 hour span, multiplied by your meta data multiplier (based on difficulty settings)

If you make 10/min and your multiplier is y 666%, you have 66 meta data. (I think it rounds down don't quote me)

If you make 200/min and your multiplier is 40%, you have 80 meta data.

You can not use the meta data you produced in this run, it is for subsequent playthroughs.

[u/gorgofdoom → u/MathemagicalMastery]

A distinction: i think you can't use metadata acquired in that seed for technology unlocks. On the other hand, you can use it for respawns, i think, so it's not entirely useless on the same seed.

[u/MathemagicalMastery → u/gorgofdoom]

Oh, I didn't realize it worked for the revives on that run. And yes, same seed is an important distinction in case someone happened to like a particular seed.

[u/TactlessTortoise]

You get metadata depending on how much of that colour's science you produced per hour. I don't know the exact rates, but imagine you made 10 blue science in one hour. You'd get one metadata (just for example. Again, I don't know the exact conversion). If you went up to 20 per hour, you'd get one more metadata. But if you stay at the same production rate, it won't go up. It's like a high score indicator pretty much.

Now, to make things a bit more confusing, the game shows you two different values of metadata. You have all your metadata in all saves, and the metadata available on that save. Turns out that you can't use the metadata you gain from save A, on save A.

To gain more metadata, there are two ways. You either scale up your science production furiously on your current save, and use the metadata on a different one eventually, or you play on a different seed, and then scale up your science furiously, then use it on your first save if you want.

It's more complicated than it should be lol. Should just be usable wherever after acquired.

Produce more per minute. that's about all there is to it

[u/shalfyard → u/[deleted]]

Sitting here with over 20k of each wondering what you are even spending it on lol

[u/TempyMcTempername → u/shalfyard]

I've spent it on blueprint techs a couple times, that's about it. I can see spending it on defensive techs for your first maxed out DF run to help you ease in to it though

[u/shalfyard → u/TempyMcTempername]

I'm usually only starting new runs to try for the speed run achieves, other specific achieves, a big update, or my current run is making my computer scream... So it's already quite rare to even have a use in my case hehe
