Jabroni429 Posted November 18, 2019 Share Posted November 18, 2019 Question abt Tek Cloner I am using a cloner for the first time and I am wondering, does it consume the majority of the shards early on? It said the clone would cost about 12,000 and 4 hours in there are only 6,000 left. Also, what would happen if it ran out of shards? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Erinn Posted November 18, 2019 Share Posted November 18, 2019 As far as I know, the cloning chamber never eats all the shards, I got always almost 40-50% shards left at the end when I was cloning my 224 base lvl mantises. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fukushu Posted November 18, 2019 Share Posted November 18, 2019 I'm 99% sure that the cloner has a static cost which you pay as soon as you start the process. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks, now I'm not freaked out. I am noticing the amount of shards isnt decreasing. So I'm wondering why I still have about 55% of what it said it would cost.

I play on an xbox official server and have cloned many different things many different times. It costs half the amount it says it needs, it uses the shards as soon as you press clone, once cloning in progress it's safe to remove remaining shards. Only thing to make sure doesn't happen is what Erinn said, don't let tek geny switch off. If this happens you loose the clone and the shards spent. I usually throw the shards that didn't get used in the geny for safety. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mecandbuttons Posted November 18, 2019 Share Posted November 18, 2019 You get roughly half the amount of shards it costs when you start the cloner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brenon45 Posted November 18, 2019 Share Posted November 18, 2019 Tek cloner has a base cost for each creature you clone, it will always consume half of the total, even it requires all slots to be filled it will only take half. Dont forget it will require a tek geny to operate and has to be on for the whole duration of the cloning process. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GrumpyBear Posted November 18, 2019 Share Posted November 18, 2019 One further tip - you can't mix shards and element in the tek gen for power. It will consume one or the other until it runs out of them and then would shut off. It won't switch from element to element shards once the element runs out. Plan accordingly.

I am pretty sure it used to switch from element to shards and vise versa before. Only problem was that there would be short pause when switching and that would abort cloning.

GrumpyBear Posted November 18, 2019 Share Posted November 18, 2019 I’m not ?, I’m relying on what was told to me I didn’t actually test it... but now that I opened my mouth, I will to see what happens. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
