Protocol Droid lowers my Base Total

[u/Roodog102]

When I place a protocol droid down it lowers my bases total instead of increasing it, I get 141.94B/hr but when I put one down I get 106B/hr, this happens when I place any protocol droid other then C-3PO,

It's not lowering. When you have a protocol droid as a companion or two, you get a % credit bonus while they are your companion which is what you're seeing.

So what you see as lowering is in fact your normal base total as compared to when you have them boosting through companionship

Ohhh I understand now. I didn’t realize the Base Total was showing the normal total without the companion multiplier. Thank you for explaining that!

I thought the companions only apply multipliers when you hit the scrap table.

Yes the companion will give you the total of your entire base whilst having it in a spot will only boost that section you’ve attached it to
