Category:Upgrader

Overview
Most upgraders have conveyors attached to them so you might be looking for Category:Conveyor.

Upgraders are machines that can have a special affect on ore, increase the ore's value by a percentage or even add a sum of money to ore. This can improve the outcome of ore to make more money. Upgraders are essentially machines with a conveyor attached with a flap that upgraders the ore, and each time the ore touches the flap, it upgrades it. If the flap flashes another color, the ore was not upgraded. 

Dollar Cap Upgraders
These upgraders only upgrade ore only if they're below the cap the upgrader is assigned. Players place these upgraders either first or after upgraders that add a sum of money to the ore so that they can make ore worth as much money as they can. New players get one called Large Ore Upgrader.

Limitless upgraders
These tend to be harder to get but they can increase orevalue no matter what the ore is worth. The catch is that most limitless upgraders can only be used a certain amount of times. Some examples include Portable Ore Advancer and Advanced Ore Scanner.

Some of the upgraders that can upgrade ore without a cap AND be used unlimited times have a probability of destroying ore like Big Bad Blaster, Schrodinger Evaluator, and Gate of Eclipse. Others add a sum of money to orevalue like Ore Purifier Machine & Cursed Ore Purifier. Some upgraders may have a combination of the characteristics like The Beehive.
