Editing Workers

== Workers ==
'''Workers''' are background generators that produce resources over time.

There are 3 workers:
* '''[[Coin Worker]]''' ([[Coins]])
* '''[[Bits Worker]]''' ([[Bits]])
* '''[[Experience Worker]]''' ([[Experience|XP]])

Workers are a long-term progression layer: you level them permanently, equip them in slots, and they generate value both while playing and while offline.

== How Workers Work ==
Workers have two generation modes:

* '''Active generation''' (while in a run and equipped)
* '''Idle generation''' (while not actively collecting, up to an idle cap)

Their output scales by worker level and by each worker’s learned peak rate for that resource.

== Buying Workers ==
* Worker purchase cost: '''50 Gems''' per buy
* A purchase gives '''+1 card/level progress''' to a random non-max worker
* You cannot directly target a specific worker from the buy button

Workers use the same style of level thresholds as other card-based systems (tiered progression).

== Equipping Workers ==
Workers only generate run-time active value when:
* The worker is owned
* The worker is equipped in a server slot

If not equipped, they do not produce active per-second run output.

== Active Generation (during gameplay) ==
When equipped, workers periodically convert their current active percentage into real resource income.

Important behavior:
* Worker output is based on a tracked '''highest value-per-second''' baseline
* This baseline updates as your run gets stronger
* So worker income improves naturally as your build scales

In short: stronger run economy/combat scaling indirectly improves worker output.

== Idle Generation (offline/passive collection) ==
Workers also store idle value over time.

When idle value is claimed (or auto-claimed by switching), it converts to:
* Coins (Coin Worker)
* Bits (Bits Worker)
* XP (Experience Worker)

Idle generation is limited by a max idle duration.

== Idle Cap and Worker Idle Time Download ==
The max idle storage time is extended by the '''Worker Idle Time Download'''.

So if you want better offline value:
* Level workers
* Increase idle-time download level
* Keep strong peak rates so percentages multiply a bigger baseline

== Practical Priority ==
* Equip at least one worker early for stable passive scaling.
* Upgrade workers steadily; they are strong over long playtime.
* Invest in '''Worker Idle Time Download''' if you rely on offline gains.
* Re-check worker details often: active% and idle% both matter.

== Quick Summary ==
Workers are your passive progression engine:
* Active income while equipped
* Idle income while away
* Permanent level progression
* Strong long-term value for steady account growth
