Absorber
How to use (Indirectly)
While you cannot directly command / use the absorbers, you can make use of their special properties.
It will show its silo as blue if it is filling with creep, and as white if it is filling with AC.
The height of the silo is also an indicator of how full it is.
Click on an absorber to see its details.
Here is an explanation of what each one means:
Fill % = How full the absorber is. Once it reaches 100% it will do its “Full” action.
Capacity = What is its maximum storage capacity.
Ratio = Like a stash. When it absorbs 1 unit of creep, the is how much creep actually goes into storage. 1 means it stores exactly as much as it absorbs. Numbers less than 1 means it fills more slowly than it absorbs, numbers greater than 1 means it multiplies what it absorbs. 0 means is just destroys the creep close to it, not storing anything. Negative numbers means it doesn't absorb creep at all.
AC Ratio = Same as the creep ratio, but for anticreep.
Empty rate = If this number is larger than 0, then this is how much of its contents is disintegrated each second. Will always head towards empty (0), regardless of if conents is creep or AC.
Self fill = Amount of creep (number above 0) or AC (negative numbers) that is generated inside the storage per second. Generated contents are still affected by the “Empty rate”.
Full = The action it takes when it is full. Disintegrates means it and its contents simply vanish. Rupture means it spills all of its contents and then it is destroyed once empty. Spill means it spills all of its contents, then sleeps (does nothing) for a bit, and then starts working again as if new.
Note: If an absorber can store both creep and AC, then the two will annihilate each other on the storage much like will when coming in contact with one another out in the wild.
Description
“We have learned much from the ancient Founder archives, and through deep contemplation, received a revelation from God on their practical application. With these new absorber structures we can trap that hellish liquid in pocket dimensions, and even annihilate it inside.
But constructing these is slow, and too intricate to fabricate under battlefield conditions.
And as always, whatever demonic entity controls that foul liquid continues to subvert and corrupt, even extending to these new designs.
But keep heart, we do not despair. We continue the fight against the darkness.
Hope through faith.” -Cardinal Clemens, broadcast from the Creator's Pilgrims, 4th era.
