🏗️Contract Bonus

Earn Contract Bonuses based on Online Time Score

Each ARC-Forge is assigned a random Contract Bonus type with equal probability when minted.

There are 4 types of Contract Bonus (CB), aligned to the 4 Upgrades with matching names:

• Stability CB - Increases the chance of building rare parts.

• Tech CB - Reduces the build time.

• Enhance CB - Increases part purity.

• Precision CB - Increases First Stage Success chance.

ARCs earn towards their Contract Bonus when they stay online and other ARCs go offline. The Time Score (TS) of an ARC is a measure of its relative online time, and determines an ARC's Contract Bonus.

TS depends on how long an ARC-Forge has been operational in idle or building state without going offline, compared to the activity of other players ARCs. TS has a base value of 5 and varies between 3 and 7.

Contract Bonus is only actived when TS > 5. This basically means that you need to be better than average to experience a performance boost from CB.

You lose your accumulated CB immediately when you go offline, and it may take a while to regain it. However, other players are eventually incentivised to refurbish their ARCs to improve performance, which forces them to go offline.

A second huge benefit of keeping a high TS is an increased number of consecutive builds in a multi-build.
