Boosters

Boosters
An essential feature used for Booster Upgrades, which can help in normal Factor Boost runs and Challenges.
Prestige Layer	Factor Boosts

Boosters are powerful items that are obtained when performing a Factor Boost. You gain additional Boosters based on how many Factor Boosts you have previously accomplished, given by the formula $n$ new Boosters on your $n$^th Factor Boost. To be more precise, the total amount of Boosters you will have is actually $\frac{n(n+1)}{2}$, where $n$ denotes how many Factor Boosts you have done.

Usage

Booster Upgrades

Boosters are mainly used to purchase Booster Upgrades. These are powerful upgrades that boost various sources necessary for progression, such as Tier 1 Automation, Tier 2 Automation, Dynamic Factor, OP gain and others. Booster Upgrades also provide boosts that are only viable or only work in Challenges. The u22 Booster Upgrade boosts Tier 1 Automation and Tier 2 Automation by $10+b^{0.9}$, where $b$ represents how many Boosters you currently own. u22's effect is also buffed if you have accomplished SM1.

Unlocking Features

Additionally, Boosters are used to unlock later Features, such as Challenges, Incrementy (as well as their upgrades), Manifolds, and the succeeding Prestige Layer: Collapse (for the 1^st time).

Trivia

• In the game's code, game.boosters is treated like a dependent variable, as total Boosters are always proportionate to the player's Factor Boosts, stored as game.factorBoosts. Therefore if you want to cheat Boosters, you should change game.factorBoosts instead.
• Each Milestone that is completed grants the player with one free and permanent Booster.
