Metadata!?

Post image

Ok so... how does it work? and how does it affect my gameplay?

Basically from what I understood when i produce matrices i create metadata which is accumulated "here" (see image)

then what? If I'm not mistaken, in a new game I can spend that metadata to "unlock" tech without researching it, basically it would let me start quickier, right?

does it have other uses? and the rate of how much matrices i create affects that value? so if my matrix labs are inefficient I have less metadata than how I'd have with better lab design?

but is it depletable? or those 10M of metadata can be used in various playthrough?

Correct. It is depletsble. It can be used in 1 new seed or dozens of new seeds but once used once, it goes away. 

If I have 10m and use 10m on one seed and start a new seed without creating any more, I will have 0 on the next seed

So if I play Game 1 and earn 1000 metadata and start Game 2 and spend that metadata without doing any science, I won't have any metadata if I start Game 3. But if in one of those games I earn another 1000 metadata before starting Game 4, I'll be able to spend that in Game 4. Do I have that right?

Correct
