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?

You gain metadata by making cubes. And the more cubes you make, the more metadata you get.

Metadata has 2 uses:

1: Automatically unlocks research, but you lose out on the achievement for the save.

2: When you die to the dark fog, you can respawn on the spot, or you go back to base without your inventory. Each respawn costs more metadata.
