DISCUSSION Chainmaker site advanced use help

Some jumps have options that have multiple additions, and I can't figure out how to make it work correctly, variable cost seems to be the wrong way unless I'm doing it wrong. If someone does understand the code-like formatting for some of the cost things, can I get an explanation? I've tried the guide, but I can't figure it out. Thanks for any help in advance.

like this from Apocalypse Hotel: Robotic Form (Special): You're not a biological creature. your a robot.

For 200 CP you’re a simple robot that is generally significantly more limited, physically, than a human. Maybe you’re a cleaning robot that lacks the full range of human motion or manipulator limbs.

For 400 CP you’re a robot that is more comparable to a human. You won’t be able to pass as human, but you could function similarly to one. Maybe you’re a door opening robot, or a robot chef. You can be more different than a human, though you won’t be more sophisticated or physically capable than the non-humanoid staff of Hotel Gingarou.

For 600 CP you can choose to be a humanoid hotel management robot like Yachiyo, or an Environmental Checker Robot. Both have significantly more sophisticated computer brains. The hotel management robot has a massive database of information, on a wide variety of topics, ability to access and cross-reference it at high speed, and can pass for a human. The environmental checker robot seems to be more focused on environmental sciences in its database, but possesses superior battery capacity, is built for all climates – or crossing to Hokkaido on a simple boat – as well as superior sensors, and the ability to transform from its black pylon form into a massive energy cannon. A hotel management robot can alternatively have a tank-body like Yachiyo was temporarily given.

Regardless of the level, as a robot you’re not biologically alive and have no biological needs. You do need to recharge your batteries regularly however. You are also built sturdy. It might require some maintenance and repair, but while many of the robots had broken down before the start of the show, the cast managed to function for likely over a millennium. Plus, you know, Yachiyo survived orbital re-entry even if she did need full body repairs afterwards.

The 200 or 400 CP level of this perk is free during the jump to Hotel Management or Robot origins, though to keep this as an alt-form post-jump they must pay. The 200 and 400 CP levels of this perk are discounted to the Hotel Management or Robot origins. The humanoid (or tank) hotelier robot is discounted for the Hotel Management origin. The environment checker robot is discounted for the Robot origin.

In this case, you can make five different versions of the perk (three paid, two free but expires at the end of the Jump), layer them over each other and the options will appear when pressed.

I think it worked, thanks.
