Mc's In 2.0

<div class="IPBDescription">A few questions</div> I know that placing MC's near the hive increases spawn rate of that hive. I also know that placing them by oc's increases their firing rate. My question is, how many MC's can you place before they don't give any additional benefit? In other words, does the second MC give a shorter spawn time than the first one?

    Actually, His Holiness Flay removed that feature of the MC's in favour of simplifying gameplay. I think he thought it gave unecessary complications to gameplay. Or something. Or he might have just been lazy to balance it <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif'><!--endemo-->

    Sorry but both of these functions were remvoed in the latest beta.

    MCs no longer increase spawn or OC fire rate

    At a guestimate energy increase for MC will be as big as DC healing, you obviously have to go to a MC to press use for teleport.

    The cloaking effect of sensories is bigger AFAIK, but on what scale i'm not sure.

    So MC's in 2.0 will happen....

    Around 1/4 or so of a bar of energy per tick. You can imagine, a couple MC's will keep your energy up almost all the time.
