If you’re using 5 or more items, considering switching that to 4 with a production beacon boosting them.Įasy way to remember how many items per beacon: Meaning that the boost it provides (120% total) is better than just putting another resource in it’s spot. For maximal efficiency you also want to make sure that production beacons hit at least 4 tiles. This will most likely be used on base tier ores/bars that are already at max speed before beacons are even applied. Production beacons are best used on any item you wish to max output on that is already at maximum speed. It isn’t maxed out on speed so I get the most out of placing speed beacons. In this basic example of speed beacon layout I’m trying to build up the shown resource as much as possible. Note that 300% is only the maximum speed for these items and not for all items. Here’s a couple of examples of items at maximum speed. If you’re using 4 or more of an item, consider switching that to 3 items with a speed beacon boosting them. For maximal efficiency you also want to make sure that speed beacons hit at least 3 tiles. You can tell it’s at maximum speed because the Base Speed will be in Cyan/Light Blue. Speed beacons are best used on any item you wish to max output on that isn’t already at maximum speed. This helps me max my total output of Think Juice.
Thus I separate them so each is only hit by 1 speed while being hit by production otherwise. In this picture my Tier 2 Think Juice only needs one speed beacon to hit max speed. The game does round so depending on your production and speed multipliers it may be beneficial to mix and match to maximize your total output. Speed vs ProductionĪs a rule of thumb if you’re trying to boost overall production you want to go with speed beacons until you’re speed capped and then switch to production.

A single item with 8 efficiency beacons boosting it will not be free (.15*8 = 1.2) nor will that cut it in half. This is easiest demonstrated by efficiency beacons. This highlight can be changed in the settings.Ī quick reference to the numbers given by beacons per factory they boost:īeacons boost tiles multiplicatively not additively. If you hover over a beacon with your mouse you can see the squares that it boosts highlighted.
Box beacons spread the affect to the factories immediately next to it (Up, Down, Left, Right, Diagonals), while a Knight beacon spreads it’s boost in the shape of a chess knight (2 in one cardinal direction, then 1 in a perpendicular direction a “L” shape). Each beacon can spread it’s boost to up to 8 factories depending on the shape of the beacon. Just a quick recap for those who don’t understand the “How to Play” section of the game or want more explanation.īeacons come in three basic types: Speed (Cyan/Light Blue), Production (Purple), and Efficiency (Yellow).
