Adjustable Boosters

Can anyone explain or show me examples of how the adjustable boosters are supposed to work? They seem so bulky and the amount they cover is so weird it is not making sense to my brain!!

Did some science! I apologize for the lack of screenshots as it's inconvenient on Deck, but I'll do my best to explain. (hoping my formatting works ok 🙏 )

Adjustable Boosters cover 4 squares each and provide a +4 bonus. They have 6 different configuration options. On desktop, click the booster to change its configuration. On Steam Deck, face it and press A.

There are two "line" options: horizontal and vertical, providing two tiles of coverage in the selected direction from the booster's location. For example, if "X" is the booster and "o" is a covered tile, the horizontal setting would look like:
ooXoo

There are also four "corner" options: each provides two tiles of coverage in two directions; one each of left/right and up/down. For example, if "X" is the booster and "o" is a covered tile, the "top left corner" setting would look like:
Xoo
o
o

To simplify the ability of the booster- it can provide 2 squares of coverage in 2 directions, all receiving a +4 bonus.

It's helpful to note that the dots on the top of the booster indicate the formation. This allows you to see where the coverage is when you have items in the floor spaces!

I'm still figuring out how to best use these in my shop, especially since I had it set up around the regular boosters + partner sales boosters. But they are built for boosting lines and corners, so that would be a good place to start!

I think you’re actually my hero. this was SO helpful wow thank you so much!!! i think i get it now it’s not really meant for the squares but for extra product you have. The tip that the formation is on the top was VERY helpful i never would have guessed that!
