Holding platform

Holding platform

A platform for holding dangerous entities. The corners have eyelets where strong chains can be attached.
Downed entities can be captured and secured on a holding platform, where they can be studied for Anomaly knowledge. Increase containment strength by building strong walls and doors, and other special containment devices.

intro

Acquisition

Holding platforms can be constructed once the entity containment research project has been completed. Note that this research requires dark study to unlock. Each requires Steel 40 Steel and 2,000 ticks (33.33 secs) of work modified by the construction speed of the builder.

Summary

Analysis

The Holding platform is the more advanced version of the Holding spot being able to handle more powerful entities within weaker buildings. Even so it is still recommended to build the holding platforms surrounded by the stone walls (granite if possible) to reduce the escape interval of entities. Multiple entities can be contained within the same room at the cost of weakening the containment strength.

The holding platform is also essential to have as this allows the player to worry less about the entities when farming for materials. proper preparations for the containment cell is also essential as the containment strength uses the average hp of doors and walls.

Formula

Below is the formula for containment strength without any modifiers. (A/N: if anyone can fix the formula or make it nicer, please do and thank you)

  • containment strength = current door Hp average + current wall Hp average
