Overclock Network

The Overclock Network is a dual-machine system where the Overclock Relay and Overclock Tower depend on each other to operate at full capacity.


Overclock Relay

Overclock Relay Render

The Overclock Relay is the distribution node of the network. It receives overclock charge from the Tower and applies boosts to connected machines.

It also redistributes energy to nearby machine clusters, making it essential for stable large-factory operation.

Overclock Tower

The Overclock Tower is the overclock source. It consumes energy plus fuel materials to generate level and effectiveness for the whole network.

Without a Tower, the Relay cannot provide boosts. Without a Relay, the Tower cannot distribute overclock efficiently across machine clusters.

How Relay + Tower Work Together

  1. The Tower burns fuel and generates overclock level/effectiveness.
  2. The Relay scans the network and receives the strongest valid overclock source.
  3. The Relay applies boost to eligible machines and distributes up to 20,000 DE/t.
  4. Machines keep the boost while relay refresh remains active.

Notes

  • Generators are excluded from overclock boost.
  • Network coverage is limited by scan radius and cable connectivity.
  • For long sessions, Titanium provides the most stable burn duration.

Practical notes

  • Overclock applies to eligible machines, not generators.
  • Keep the Tower fueled and the Relay connected to the machine network through Reinforced Cable.
  • If you need to confirm the exact strength of the boost in your version, verify it in-game before planning around it.
