Time Machine



( ⚠️ Spoiler Warning: Please be warned that the following informations will most probably spoil most of the current endgame content ⚠️ )

Description
The time machine is the crux of the Prestige Mechanic being required to gain the Prestige Currency, Time Shards. Using the Time Machine also increases The Devourer's Max level by 10 each time a certain time shard earnings milestone is reached.

The Time Machine can be unlocked at Lvl 35

The first NPC that will appear inside of the Central Chamber is The Keeper.

After him the The Inventor, The Archaeologist, The Dietician, The Architect, and finally The Surgeon can be summoned into the chamber.

With the Time Machine and the new Alien Shops additional game content can be unlocked such as:


 * 3 new Currencies: Astro Coins, Energy Cubes and Time Shards
 * 3 New Stations: Crashed Saucer, Telepad, Soul Grinder
 * 6 new Legendaries: Robo Chicken, The Cursed, The Colossus, The Infernal, Shield Bot, Soul Stalker
 * 1 new Rune type: Cosmic Runes

How It Works
The Time Machine uses four variables to decide how many time shards you get per run. The variables are as follows.


 * Devourer Level: Every level (After 35) increases the base amount of time shards
 * For every 10 Devour Levels, base amount increases by 100% to 34% depending on current level. That's why it's recommended to get higher levels.
 * Feats: Every feat gives a +10% boost to time shards
 * Legendaries: Each legendary gives a boost and if you complete a "set" of legendaries you gain an extra boost
 * Ex: The Lich, Gorgon, and Harpy each give +10% boost each (for the first one) when you have all three you gain an extra +20% boost. For a total +50% boost.
 * Other: The Time Shard Experiment from the Inventor.
 * The Calculations for time shards seems to be Devourer level base * (100%+Feats bonus) * (100%+Legendaries bonus) * (100%+Other bonus)=Total Shards
 * (Simplified equation with single letter variables) B*(100%+F)*(100%+L)*(100%+O)=T
