Proliferator Bonuses

Items with Proliferator marks receive various bonuses depending on the type of activity they are involved in. The amount of the bonus depends either on the Proliferator's Production Speedup or Extra Products parameter. Some of the activities also apply the item's Energy Consumption penalty to the building that processes the item.

Activity		Bonuses	Energy Penalty
	Production	Any production building (except the Fractionator) can get either Production Speedup or Extra Products bonus if all the recipe ingredients have the same-tier Proliferator mark, depending on the building settings, chosen by the player (the default is Extra Products). If one of the ingredients has lower-tier mark or no mark, the lowest or no bonus will be applied. The Production Speedup bonus is multiplicative with the building's Crafting Speed. For example, applying Proliferator Mk.III to an Assembling Machine Mk.III will result in Crafting Speed of 3 (+100% out of the building's 1.5). The exception is production of Antimatter, Antimatter Fuel Rod and buildings that take other buildings as the ingredients (such as Mk.II and Mk.III Belts, Sorters or Assembling Machines. Production of these can only benefit from the Production Speedup bonus of the Proliferator.	Yes
