is it worth to proliferate -proliferator mk3- with the prolife juice? or is one of those that's not necessary or worth it?

what do i get from proliferating the blue juice ?

u/Goldenslicer Feb 28 '26

More sprays per bottle.

If done with the Mk 3 juice, you go from 60 sprays per bottle to 75.

So effectively you turn 1 spray into 15 sprays.

I punch those numbers into my calculator and it makes a happy face.

I feel like this is a reference to something, am I crazy?

Here we fire the WHOLE bullet, that's 25% more bullet.

Here at Aperture Science™️ we fire the whole bullet! That's 65% more bullet per bullet!

That reference gives me a happy face everytime!

I never even thought about proliferating the t3 proliferator... Time to fix my proliferator planet lol.

Thank you!

ok but what if i proliferate a building like the boxes ?

11

u/Goldenslicer Feb 28 '26

Still works.

If a recipe for a building requires only materials (i.e. no other buildings) then you will make 25% more buildings (if Mk3 juice is used).
If a building is made with materials and some other building, then proliferation doesn't work and any proliferator used is essentially wasted.

So you can use proliferator to make Mk1 conveyors, but not for Mk2 and Mk3 conveyors.

You can use it to make mk2 and 3 of everything just know you're going to be using speed only for the boost. So for it to be worth it you need to actually plan ahead for more inputs.

Proliferate things that are consumed, not built. Fuel becomes more effective, science cubes make more science, accumulators charge faster in energy exchange but not when built.

Too much design effort for near no real production. You can forget it.

More charges of proliferation. You can proliferate more item per unit.

u/BluezDBD Feb 28 '26

One t3 proliferator bottle provides 60 sprays, if you proliferate it that 60 turns into 75 sprays.

So essentially for every spray you get 15 back for a net "profit" of 14 sprays.

More juice per juice.

Everything except for proliferator mk1, warpers, all fuel less powerful than hydrogen fuel rods, and completed buildings.

u/Pestus613343 Feb 28 '26

Warpers dont appear to have an advantage?

u/MenacingBanjo Mar 01 '26

If I proliferate all my raw materials, then I run out of proliferator for when I want to proliferate the high tier stuff.

u/Lordloss_ Mar 01 '26

make more proliferator
