Upgrade Mechanics in Ore Processing

Study Notes

Upgraders and Their Functions

Saturated Catalyst/Quantum Ore Polisher: Upgrades ore value by x7 with one-time usage.
Deadly Spore: Increases ore value by x5; cap at x7 for ores with negative status effects; removes negative effects.
Hydra Blaster: Upgrades ore by x4.5, with explosions over time; each explosion has a 20% chance of occurring and a 10% chance of ore destruction. If the ore survives, total multiplier reaches x91.125; ignites ores.
Symmetryte Mine: Drops fireproof ores that self-upgrade; only one can be placed; stops upgrading if ores lose fire.
Swift Justice: Processes low-upgrade counter ores at a x5B multiplier.

High-Value Processors

Sakura Falls: Initial processing at x12,000; declines by x5 per ore processed; subtracts x100 for processing on fire or with toxic effects.
Aurora Borealis: Multiplier increases by x680 for sparkling coal; decreases by x680 for every 35 ores processed; cap at x23,800.
Neutron Star: Upgrades ores worth less than $1TVg; requires accuracy for a second upgrade.
Astral Setter: Upgrades ore value by between x0.5 to x10; upgrade time varies from 3 seconds to over 3 minutes.

Specialized Processing Formats

Sage King: Processes ores with a multiplier of upgrade counter x1.75; caps at x210.
Final Eclipse Gate: Superior version of Gate of Eclipse; larger than Super Schrodinger.
Ambrosia Forest: Processes based on ore longevity; caps at x1,500 after 2 hours.
Ancient Colloseum: Multiplier based on ore’s value; different multipliers for odd/even whole numbers and decimals.

Additional Tools and Features

Newtonium Excavator: Let’s drop large ores valued at $45T using remote clicking.
Tesla Refuter: Similar to Tesla Resetter but applies additional multipliers based on removed tags, maxing at x10.
Super Schrodinger: An upgrade to Flaming Schrodinger with lesser upgrades than Final Eclipse Gate.
Frozen Peaks: Processes regular ores at x50, flaming ores at x300.
Forbidden Magic: Processes ores at x100, increases to x600 with remote click.

Miscellaneous Upgraders

Massive Diamond Drill: Drops large ores with negative upgrade counter, valued at $9.5M; considered less effective.
Ore Indocrinator: Upgrades ores by x666 after a 66-second wait; immediate destruction if upgraded in that period, unless used with Void Drive.
Dreamer's Nightmare: Cell furnace that adapts multipliers to cash value; superior to Dreamer's Anguish.
Brimstone Spires: Functions like Hades' Palace, but with a new cap of x75.
Dreamer's Terror: Processes ores within a range of -x250 to x20,000 while causing loss of Research Points; leaves upgrade ores by x66.
Zenith Will: An advanced infuser providing protection against Executive Infuser's explosive attack.
Draconicglass Mine: Drops multiple ores with value that increases through interaction with a clicking radio.
