What does exactly the Bulk Matter Transmitter do? According to its description, it yields two (2) minerals per base. Isn't that a bit... low, compared to the effects of other Secret Projects close to it in the tech tree?

The BMT actually increases each base's mineral output by 50%, contrary to the documentation."The avalanche has already started. It is too late for the pebbles to vote."

Are you sure? Isn't that a bit too much?
I think I'll respect that project more from now and on...Comment

Yes. Before I posted my reply I fired up a game in progress. Loaded the scenario editor, gave myself Matter Transmission (the prerequisite for the BMT), plus enough credits to build the BMT in one turn. I noted the mineral production in several bases.Originally posted by Leon Trotsky

After the BMT was built, those bases produced 50% more minerals, not +2.

I'm sorry if I started a thread about something that has already been discused, but I'm positive this hasn't been explained here yet. I may be lousy at searching, though.You also can search this forum for "Bulk Matter Transmitter". This will turn up other posts discussing this matter.Comment

No need to apologize. Discussions of old matters often turn up new information.
I searched for the exact phrase "Bulk Matter Transmitter" (w/o the quotes) in the AC-General/Help/Strategy forum, with results shown as posts. Here are two relevant hits:

Thanks indeed!Comment

It's not quite as strong as it sounds, the +50% is only on base minerals.
Like if a base has genejack so is already at 150%, it'll go to 200% not 225%.
If a base has all 4 of the mineral facilities it'll be at 300% and only go to 350% not 450%.Comment

The effect is still often enough to cause massive global warming and general fungal outrage if you expected just +2 minerals/base."Cutlery confused Stalin"

Especially if a player didn't 'increase' his clean mineral count earlier on.
