Educate

Educate controls your access to the special Source Terminal combat skills.

  • Your terminal begins with extract.edu and digitize.edu installed. The other four can be installed by using their corresponding unlocker (below).
  • Once installed, a .edu file is eligible to be designated as "active" by educate. Only "active" .edu skills will be available during combat.
  • Initially only one skill may be active at a time; this can be increased to two if a DRAM chip is installed.

(This is essentially a combat skill slot, with installed files being analogous to unequipped equipment.) Each combat skill costs 20 MP initially, but some will have their costs reduced as SPAM and ASHRAM chips are installed.

Extract default 5 1x/combat Allows you to collect Source essence from enemies

Extrude

Extrude provides items in exchange for Source essence. You begin with food.ext, booze.ext and goggles.ext and can unlock others. You are limited to extruding three items per day. Upgrade chips (those with a limit) are untradable and must be extruded yourself.
