    🧬 Synth Network

    The Synth Network is a new core feature in SpaceInvasion.

    It gives you more flexibility and depth, allowing you to expand your playstyle – or discover completely new ones.

    🔹 The Synth Network – Basics

    Every player has a certain number of Synth Points that can be used to activate nodes in the network.

    • Each activated node costs 1 Synth Point.

    • Once a node is activated, all adjacent nodes become available for activation.

    • Active nodes grant various bonuses and effects in the game.

    ⚙️ Synth Points

    You can currently unlock up to 80 Synth Points in total.

    They are earned as follows:

    • 12 base points

    • +1 point per active Assistant

    • +1 point per active Assistant+

    • +3 points if you have not been in vacation mode in the past 7 days

    • +5 points base bonus

      • −1 point for each rage attack performed (penalty)

    • Up to +30 points from your Quantum Array (depending on its level)

    • Up to +30 points from Synth Upgrades (explained below)

    ⚡ Synth Energy & Synth Cores

    Synth Energy is used to upgrade your network — in two ways:

    1. Network Upgrade (for up to 30 additional Synth Points), or

    2. Individual Node Upgrades.

    🔸 Node Upgrades

    Each node starts at grey (Level 1).

    By using Synth Cores and Synth Energy, you can increase its level:

    LevelColorExample Effect (Raw Iron Production)
    1Grey+1 %
    2Green+2 %
    3Blue+4 %
    4Purple+10 %
    5Red+15 %
    6Orange+25 %

    Some nodes already start at a fixed level – these cannot be upgraded further.

    🔸 Synth Cores & Fragments

    • Synth Cores exist in the same color tiers as nodes.

    • You can upgrade or downgrade them — always in a ×10 ratio.

      • Example: 10 Green Cores → 1 Blue Core.

    • You can also combine 50 Fragments of one color to create one Core.

    • Fragments can be obtained through the Interdimensional Transmitter or special events.

    🏗️ Quantum Array – The New Building

    The Quantum Array generates the power your Synth Network needs.

    It provides computing power for two programs:

    🧪 The Synth-Former

    • Converts Spice into Synth Energy.

    • Each process takes 15 minutes.

    • Frequent collection pays off:

      • Once per day per account, you have a chance to receive bonus rewards (Synth Cores or Fragments).

    🤖 The AI Core

    • Uses small amounts of Spice over time to transform it into useful fragments or full cores.

    • The success chance increases with program level,

      but the computations require time and patience.

    🚀 Summary

    The Synth Network is a powerful system combining strategy, timing, and planning.

    Whether you optimize your empire or explore new paths — with Synth Points, Energy, and Cores, you control your evolution.

    ❓ FAQ

    🔸 How can I see which nodes other players have activated?

    In each player profile, you can view exactly which nodes the player has chosen.

    🔸 What happens if I lose Synth Points?

    If you lose points, your most recently activated nodes will be deactivated automatically.

    However, their settings are saved — once you regain the points, the nodes reactivate instantly.

    🔸 How does the Lucky Chance work when collecting energy?

    The Lucky Chance increases your chance of receiving bonus rewards (e.g. cores or fragments).

    SourceBonus
    Base Chance1 %
    Each Assistant+1 %
    Each Assistant (+)+3 %
    Maximum Possible25 %

    The chance applies to every collection, even for small energy amounts or without assistants.

    🔸 How do I upgrade or downgrade cores?

    • Each core can be upgraded or downgraded to the next color tier.

    • Cost: 25 Urplasma

    • First upgrade/downgrade per day: free

    • Example:

      • 1 Purple Core → 10 Blue Cores (downgrade)

      • 10 Purple Cores → 1 Red Core (upgrade)

    🔸 How can I reset my Synth Network?

    You can only reset your network when no cooldowns are active.

    When you reset:

    • All bonuses are disabled for 3 days.

    • Afterwards:

      • All points are released again.

      • You get back all Synth Cores and Synth Energy from your node upgrades.

    🔸 When do node functions become active?

    • Combat-related effects (attack, defense, fleet speed)

      become active after 12–24 hours (random delay).

    • Production or resource effects are active immediately.
