🌾 Farm Hotspots & Production Nodes (how they work)

Farm Hotspots are passive production nodes unlocked on the Expedition Map. Each hotspot produces either SONO or 🧩 Relic Fragments over real time. You can open a hotspot anytime to see its current storage, bonuses, upgrades, and your wallet.

✅ Important: Completing an expedition unlocks access to more hotspots, but hotspot rewards are not auto-granted. You must Collect / Harvest from the hotspot to move resources into your wallet.

• 🔓 Unlocking: Hotspots open in groups. A hotspot in Group N becomes available only after you complete all expeditions from the earlier groups [0 .. N-1] on that map.
• 🕒 Passive production: Each hotspot has a Rate / hour and a Capacity (silo size). While you’re away, it keeps producing until it reaches the cap.
• 📦 Storage & collecting: The server stores an exact (fractional) amount internally. But Harvest / Collect moves to your wallet only the whole part (integer units). Any fractional remainder stays in the hotspot, so nothing is wasted.
• 🧬 What affects Rate / hour:
  • ⚙️ Speed upgrade: each level gives about +20% yield on that hotspot.
  • 🌌 Explorer Status: +15% rate (all farm resources).
  • ⛏ Mining Pass: +10% rate for SONO farms (does not boost fragment farms).
  • 🏺 Expedition Pathfinder: +3% yield per level (SONO + fragments).
  • 🛠 Task Artisan: +3% yield per level for SONO farms.
  • 🧩 Crafting Adept: +3% yield per level for Fragment farms.
  • ♻️ GM Reset: farm becomes extreme: ×5 rate and ×5 capacity (upgrade prices are also much higher).
• 🏗 What affects Capacity:
  • 📦 Capacity upgrade: each level gives about +30% capacity on that hotspot.
  • 🏵️ Long Take Legend: +6% capacity per level (bigger silo = fewer visits needed).
  • ♻️ GM Reset: also multiplies capacity by ×5.
• 🎯 Bonus system (important): Most bonuses only start “arming” when your silo is at least 65% full. The chance then scales up as you approach 100% fill.
  • 🍀 Effective Luck: each Luck upgrade level counts as 3 Luck power, then the hotspot adds its own luck bias (some nodes are naturally luckier).
  • 🧠 Sound Interpreter: increases bonus trigger chance by +15% per level (a multiplier, not “flat %”).
  • 🎒 Field Recordist Bag (Bag 10+): adds a small +0.45% absolute chance to relic-type bonus rolls, and can duplicate a primary relic drop with 5% chance (only on hotspots where the primary bonus is “relic”).
• 🧩 Bonus profiles you may see:
  • Micro Drop — a small instant extra reward (examples: +1…3 SONO, +1…2 fragments, or +1…4 SONO depending on hotspot).
  • Yield Bonus — extra units based on what you just collected (usually +10% or +12%, with clear min/max caps shown in the hotspot).
  • Relic Roll — a chance to generate a relic (Simple/Rare/Epic/Legendary with visible odds; Relic Transmuter can shift rarity weights at Level 30+).
  • Cycle Boost — temporary rate multiplier that affects only this hotspot for a limited time (typically ×1.15 or ×1.18 for 2 hours).
  • Craft Boost — a time-based craft buff: +10% to craft odds for a limited duration (often up to 3 days). While active, it applies to your craft attempts and is not consumed by a successful craft.
  • Double Boost — a timed buff that doubles farm rewards while active (×2) — usually 1 day or (rarer) 1 week.
  • Multiplier Cap Lift — a timed buff that lifts the multiplier cap window while farming/listening (shown with a timer at radio tab) — usually 1 day or (rarer) 1 week.
• 🌑 Secondary relic roll: Most hotspots also have a very small secondary relic chance at very high fill (requires 85%+). It’s intentionally rare and independent from the primary bonus. At full silo it’s around 0.18% base (can rise a bit with Luck, with a hard cap around 0.4%).
• 💸 Upgrades cost WOS: Farm upgrades are paid in WOS, but computed from a SONO-equivalent base and then converted using the current pool rate (dynamic). Costs grow with level (~+34% per level) and with hotspot depth (each new group adds roughly +30% to base).
  Base (SONO-equivalent): Speed 80 • Capacity 130 • Luck 180. GM Reset applies a heavy price multiplier (×25). Token Alchemist can reduce upgrade prices (~4.5% per level, capped so it won’t go below about 55% of the original).

Tip: If you want more bonus procs, collect closer to full — 65%+ is required for the primary bonus, and 85%+ is required for the secondary relic roll.

✨ Point Bonuses (additive to base)

• ⛏ Mining Pass: +50% of base
• 🌌 Explorer Status: +100% of base
• 🏺 Expedition Pathfinder: +20% of base per level
• 🏵️ Long Take Legend: +10% of base per level

Formula (standard): Total Points = Base + Base×(0.50·MP + 1.00·Explorer + 0.20·PF + 0.10·LTL).
Example (Lv.60 base 160,000,000,000): with MP + Explorer + PF15 + LTL15 → add +80B, +160B, +480B, +240B ⇒ 1.12T total.

👑 Grandmaster Reset — Points Base Override

When GM Reset is active, the Base used in point formulas is replaced with 10× the maximum Lv.60 base — i.e., 1,600,000,000,000🔢 — regardless of your current level. All bonuses (Mining Pass, Explorer, Pathfinder, LTL) are then applied on top of that new base.

Formula with GM Reset: Total Points = GMBase + GMBase×(0.50·MP + 1.00·Explorer + 0.20·PF + 0.10·LTL), where GMBase = 1.6T.
Example: GM Reset + MP + Explorer + PF15 + LTL15 → add +0.8T, +1.6T, +4.8T, +2.4T ⇒ 11.2T total.

GM Reset does not change fragment rewards or relic drop chances.

🎁 Epic & Legendary Relic Generation

• ⭐ Unlocks at: Pathfinder ≥10, Transmuter ≥1, Level ≥30
• Base rates: 0.5% Epic / 0.015% Legendary
• ☕ Relic Transmuter: +0.15% Epic & +0.005% Legendary per Transmuter level
• 🎒 Field Recordist Bag: 5% chance to duplicate expedition relic (Bag ≥10)

⚠️ Relics are granted once per expedition per account when conditions are met.

👑 GM Mirrors (expeditions)

Your referrers with GM Reset, an active Grandmaster Relic, and Expedition Pathfinder 15 have a small chance to receive a mirrored relic when you obtain one from an expedition.

ℹ️ Additional Notes

• ✅ Rewards are claimable only for finished seasons.
• Outside Top-150, you can still receive a season_participant badge if your listening time ≥ 1000 minutes.
• 🧠 SONO is minted during claim (if eligible) and logged under “Season Reward”.
• 🏷 Badges follow the tier you fall into; ties are resolved by rank (listening time).

🎯 Permanent Passive Boost per Task

Every completed task permanently increases your global listening boost. This affects all future listening rewards, not just tasks.

Without Grandmaster Reset:

Base permanent boost from one task (before talents):

        Level  1–10:       +50%
        Level 11–20:      +100%
        Level 21–30:      +150%
        Level 31–40:      +300%
        Level 41–45:      +500%
        Level 46–50:      +700%
        Level 51–55:    +2,000%
        Level 56–60:    +5,000%
            

• 🎭 Task Artisan: adds +1400% passive boost per talent level to each completed task in normal mode.

With Grandmaster Reset active:

• Each completed task gives at least +100,000% permanent boost.
• 🎭 Task Artisan: adds an extra +100,000% per talent level to each task while GM Reset is active.

🧠 Grandmaster Relic:

• Doubles the final passive boost from every task (both the base part and the bonus from Task Artisan).

In short: the more tasks you complete — and the higher your level and Task Artisan — the more insane your permanent listening boost becomes, especially with GM Reset + Grandmaster Relic.

🧩 Relic Fragments from Tasks

Every completed task also gives relic fragments:

• +1 base 🧩fragment per task
• +1 additional fragment for each level of Task Artisan
• +1 extra fragment if you have 🌌 Sonic Explorer Status

Fragments are used to craft Sonic Relics and unlock deeper economic loops.

💎 Relic Drops from Tasks

Tasks can also drop Sonic Relics if you invest into the right talents:

• You need Task Artisan 10 and Sonic Scholar 10.
• Each completed task then has a chance to generate a relic from Simple up to Legendary (rarity is random).
• 🎒 Field Recordist Bag 10: gives a 5% chance to duplicate the relic that just dropped.

One task completion = one relic roll. Duplicates create an extra copy of the same rarity for you.

👑 Grandmaster Synergy & Mirrors

• Grandmaster Relic: doubles all passive task boost you get from completing tasks.
• If a task generates a relic for you and your referrer has:
  • an active GM Reset,
  • a Grandmaster Relic,
  • and Task Artisan 15+,
  then each such referrer has a small chance (10%) to receive a GM mirror copy of your task relic.

GM mirrors reward high-investment referrers by occasionally copying your task relics to their inventory.

🌟 When someone uses YOUR referral code

As the referrer you receive:

• 🔒 A permanent +1000% base Total Boost for each referral. This stacks with every new player and is later amplified by Referral Resonator and, if active, Grandmaster Reset (which multiplies this base by ×100).
• 🔢 Bonus points — based on the referred player’s level (same status multipliers as for the activator).
• 🧩 Bonus fragments — also based on the referred player’s level:

        Referrer bonus fragments (per activation)

        Level 7–20:      1 fragment
        Level 21–40:     2 fragments
        Level 41–50:     3 fragments
        Level 51–60:     4 fragments
        

⛏ Mining Pass (referrer) → ×2 referrer 🔢points
🌌 Explorer Status (referrer) → ×2 again (×4 total points) and ×2 referrer 🧩fragments
🌌 Explorer Status (referred player) → also ×2 referrer 🧩fragments (stacks with the referrer’s own Explorer, up to ×4 fragments)
🔗 Referral Resonator (referrer) → +10% points 🔢 per level and +1 fragment 🧩 per level to these referrer rewards.
🔥 If both players have both statuses, referrer can reach up to ×8 🔢points and ×4 🧩fragments on activation rewards.

🜃 Referral Crate – passive listening income

Every time your referrals finish a listening session, you receive +0.25% of their session reward into your Referral Crate. This has a cap per session depending on your level:

        Per-session crate cap (by your level)

        Level < 15:     max 500,000 🔢
        Level < 25:     max 2,500,000 🔢
        Level < 35:     max 25,000,000 🔢
        Level < 40:     max 100,000,000 🔢
        Level 40+:      no limits 💫
        

When you press Claim:

• 🔗 Referral Resonator adds +10% to the crate amount per talent level.
• 🌌 Explorer Status adds an extra +100% (another full copy of the crate), effectively doubling your claimed 🔢points if active.

💎 Relics, Grandmaster Reset & Mirrors

• Relic generation on activation:
  – Requires Referral Resonator ≥ 10 and Level Booster ≥ 10 on the activator.
  – Activation may generate a relic of random rarity (Simple → Legendary).
  – 🎒 Field Recordist Bag (10+) adds a 5% chance to duplicate that relic.
• Grandmaster Reset (GM) perks:
  • 🧠 Raises your activation cap from 100 to 150 different codes.
  • 🎁 GM activation bonus: base points for the activator are set to 25,000,000,000 🔢, overriding the level table, plus +30% to the activator’s fragments and to the referrer’s points & fragments.
  • 📈 GM passive boost bonus: with GM Reset, the base per-referral passive boost is multiplied by ×100 (from +1000% to +100,000% per referral) before talents like Referral Resonator are applied.
• GM Mirror (Listening):
  When you generate a relic during listening, each of your referrers who has Referral Resonator 15, Expedition Pathfinder 15, Long Take Legend 15, an active Grandmaster Reset and a Grandmaster relic has about a 1% chance to receive a mirrored copy of that relic (the copy goes to them).

Additional GM mirror rules may later apply to other activities (Expeditions, Daily, Tasks) with their own talent requirements.
