Does anyone know mods that have polynomial growth mechanics? It means Producer 1s make resources, Producer 2s make Producer 1s, Producer 3s make Producer 2s, etc. Asking mostly out of curiosity, but I do find those pretty cool.
I have played these already:
The Communitree (Aarex Dimensions and the modders, not quite for the latter as it’s multipliers rather than producers but still pretty dang similar)
I think there is a different type of polynomial growth:
boost X gain by the amount of X raised to n, where n is slightly smaller than 1
If you solve the differential equation, you will find that X ~ t^(1/(1-n)), so this is also polynomial
I’ve seen this mechanism in Tree of Life, which is still being actively updated
This wouldn’t fit the definition of polynomial growth? Those are just different layers that use previous points as a base, while with polynomial growth, you have games like Antreematter Dimensions where higher dimensions directly produce the one below them, which happens in the same layer.
