Overview[]
The Astral Predictor is a Reborn-tier upgrader that was added on August 7th, 2016. It was first unveiled on Berezaa's Twitter and his website.
Astral Predictor upgrades ores by 1.08x every 0.2 seconds for a random amount of times between 11 or 26 times.
It gives gradual upgrades over a short period of time. The amount of times the ore value is multiplied by 1.08x is dependent on a random number generator with the formula x+10, where x is an integer between 1 and 16.
| Duration | Multiplier iteration | Total multiplier |
|---|---|---|
| 2.2s | 1.08^11 | ~2.33x (min.) |
| 3.2s | 1.08^16 | ~3.43x |
| 3.6s | 1.08^18 | ~4.00x (avg.) |
| 4.2s | 1.08^21 | ~5.03x |
| 5.2s | 1.08^26 | ~7.39x (max.) |
To get ideal value out of this upgrader, it is best placed so that the ore is guaranteed to take more than 5.2 seconds before entering the furnace. The upgrading will still persist through any resetting device but replicator copies will not inherit the upgrading effect.

- There is a typo in the shiny version of this item, where "Predictor" is spelled "Predicter".
