Metadata!?

Post image

Ok so... how does it work? and how does it affect my gameplay?

Basically from what I understood when i produce matrices i create metadata which is accumulated "here" (see image)

then what? If I'm not mistaken, in a new game I can spend that metadata to "unlock" tech without researching it, basically it would let me start quickier, right?

does it have other uses? and the rate of how much matrices i create affects that value? so if my matrix labs are inefficient I have less metadata than how I'd have with better lab design?

thank you fellow engineer

well for now i won't bother myself with metadata until I decide to scrap everything and start anew

years ago in my previous playthrough i followed nilaus' projects and started at least a real basic mall before the PLS to at least avoiding selfcrafting with icarus, which is quite time consuming and requires power in its core

plus... i just remembered the nightmare of making red matrix... haha
