Better Unique Leaves

[Zaelle]

Is the upgrade for better unique leaves additive or multiplicative? Thanks.

It's the only bonus of its type, so it has no other bonus to interact with. It just does exactly what it says.

It says it makes them 20% better but they have their own percentage numbers for their own effects. I wasn't sure if it would change, for example, 800% to 820% or if it would give 20% extra resource of the total 800% amount you gained to begin with. Perhaps I didn't explain well what I meant. Thanks for the reply.

You're overthinking this. It does exactly what it says.

"Exactly what it says" can be interpreted in multiple ways, with significantly different results. If it "increases bonuses by 20%" then that could mean it adds a flat 20% to the numbers presented in the Unique Leaves menu.

This would net a 40% increase for Rainbow Leaf but only a 2% increase for Heart Leaf. That would be a really bizarre way to go about it, so it's likely that they multiply the effects of all the Unique Leaves by 1.2 (probably rounding down for Crystal Leaf so you get just 1 more daily gem), but it would take some painstaking data-tracking (or the word of a dev) to confirm this yourself, hence the thread to ask if anyone else has already confirmed this distinction on this behaviour.

Sure, you can interpret 1.2x multiple ways in the same way you can interpret 1+1=2 multiple ways.

To simplify it, it multiplies the bonus by 1.2, so rainbow leaf now becomes a 60% bonus to seeds instead of 50%. Hope that clarifies.
