Topic: Agent Extensions and Robot bonuses

Do extensions and robot bonuses work additively or multiplicatively?

For example, I have basic robotics level 4 and extensive mining level 3.
So in an argano, i have +20% yield from robot bonus and +3% from extensive mining

I thought the 2 are multiplicative, so when mining stermonit, i should be getting 450 * 1.20 * 1.03 = 556.2 stermonit per cycle (assuming stermonit base yield is 450. right???)

But right now, i'm getting 533 stermonit per cycle, which is more like 450 * 1.23 (1.2 + 1.03) (= 553.5 stermonit per cycle). This suggests the robot bonus and extension work additively

Thing is, other threads suggest extensions work multiplicatively. So even if this specific mechanic is working as intended, how do i tell when extensions and bonus are additive or multiplicatively?

Re: Agent Extensions and Robot bonuses

You can see your mining yield by right clicking your miner and showing the information.
I believe the robot bonus is added after extensions and module bonuses but I am not certain.

There is no way to tell how the extension will effect your bonuses other than to find the old threads with all the calculations in.

Re: Agent Extensions and Robot bonuses

base * (summ of general bonus + robot bonus) * (specialization) * (tunings)*(tunings)...*(Nexusbonus)

this is true for everything
