There are four things you can change for each worker: task, interval, name and group. As of current game version(v0.9.4 B1), Worker name and group don't have any actual effect on gameplay, but in the future, the name and group can be used by AI for more advanced automation.

Line 11: Line 73:
 
The default interval for workers is "'''Slow(5s)'''", which means that the worker would do the task once every 5 seconds. With gems, you can also unlock more interval settings, which allows the worker speed to be "'''Medium(2s)'''", "'''Fast(1s)'''", or "'''Very Fast(0.5s)'''". You can set the worker interval to any one you've unlocked. You can also pause some of the workers so that they stop working.

Workers is a mechanic that is available at Military Tier 1, used for early game automation before AI is unlocked. Once you tier up your military tier for the first time, you can access the worker page on the right side of the screen, with a button and a cube symbol on it.

Workers

To use workers, you need to buy them with a certain amount of Gem.png gems, and the cost grows as you have more workers. There is also a hardcap on worker amount that is based on your Military Tier. The cost for the xth worker is 100*3x-1, and the limit of workers is 1+MT. The worker limit can be further increased with a certain Military Perk.

Worker Cost Table
Worker # Worker Cost Total Cost
1 100 100
2 300 400
3 900 1,300
4 2,700 4,000

There are four things you can change for each worker: task, interval, name and group. As of current game version(v0.9.4 B1), Worker name and group don't have any actual effect on gameplay, but in the future, the name and group can be used by AI for more advanced automation.

The default interval for workers is "Slow(5s)", which means that the worker would do the task once every 5 seconds. With gems, you can also unlock more interval settings, which allows the worker speed to be "Medium(2s)", "Fast(1s)", or "Very Fast(0.5s)". You can set the worker interval to any one you've unlocked. You can also pause some of the workers so that they stop working.

The cost for unlocking Medium(2s) is 1000 gems, Fast(1s) is 10000, and Very Fast(0.5s) is 100000.
