Fractal Engines

The Fractal Engine is a mechanic that was implemented in the v0.4 Update. It is unlocked during the Incrementyverse by having IV4.

Cost

Base Cost: $f_{l+1}(b)\times max(1,s^{s^{s}})$, where $l$ is the Level of that Fractal Engine, $b$ is Fractal Base and $s$ is Fractal Shifts.

Functions

(may not accelerate)

For every second, it will produce Automation Charge (pre-140: x, after 140: 140(x/140)^0.1, where x is engine level 1s you currently own, base speed).

For every time when you have more than or equal to $10^{i}$, your Fractal Level $i-1$ will be increased to your Incrementy amount and other lower Fractal Levels will become 10{i}[Incrementy].

Fractal Upgrades

There are five Fractal Upgrades, they unlock when you buy IV6. As expected, they all cost Incrementy.

Fractal Upgrade Table

Upgrade	Description	Base Cost (Incrementy)	Cost scaling (Hyper Operator)	Note
1	Lubricate the Fractal Engine and double the speed!	10{2}10	1	Could refer to lubricating real machines to increase effiency.
2	Energy Orb effectiveness grows 20% faster	10{3}10	2
3	Energy Orb base multiplier +0.3	10{5}10	3
4	Discount the first 3 fractal upgrades by 1 arrow	10{10}10	5	It might be mean Hyper Operator
5	Gain a free Fractal Shift	10{20}10	10	Not Implemented yet

Also there is a message that says: "The first three fractal upgrades reset upon Fractal Shifts, while the last two don't.", which is true.

Trivia

• For some reason after you get a new Fractal Engine Level, the Incrementy doesn't increase until your highest Fractal Engine Level have enough Automation Charge.
• Prior to November 2020, the Fractal Upgrade Message is saying "The first free fractal upgrades reset upon Fractal Shifts, while the last two don't.", but this is very wrong.
  • This means that the 1^st Fractal Upgrade is free and resets upon Fractal Shifts, but the wording of the description is confusing to most. This was completely a typo problem. (What are the 2^nd and 3^rd upgrades?)
• Prior to November 2020, even if Fractal Shifts can reduce the base, the base Fractal Engine cost is still using f_l+1(100,000), regardless of your Fractal Base.
