MIO Icons | What do they mean?

[Darthclimo]

This has been driving me nuts. So you click on the MIO 'Details' 'button and in the middle of the screen is obviously the 'tech tree'. Down the left you have the 'Attributes' and under that the 'Equipment Bonuses'. Just below that you have the equipment and to the right of that there is a beaker icon (probably representing science/research) with a number and next to that a wrench/spanner icon with also a number.

What the heck do those icons and numbers represent? So in front of me right now: All Light Tank Equipment - beaker icon 1 | wrench/spanner icon 0

You need to level the MIO.
MIOs gain funding as you research stuff and produce stuff with the MIO brand.
You then spend that funding to increase the benefits the MIO gives you towards that design.
Then you can use conversion to upgrade stuff for the new MIO benefits.

It's the order the MIO will upgrade once you level it up.

Did you guys read what I said? I just want to know what the numbers mean next to the science beaker and wrench icons. I'm not referring to the main tech tree in the middle of the screen. If you look at the left column you'll see what I mean.

It would be easier if you provided a picture or a screenshot to better illustrate what you mean rather then "answer me by looking it up yourself".

If I had to guess, beakers represent the total number of stat increases to the equipment, wrenches the total number of changes to production costs (increases or decreases), and factory icons being increases to production cap.

Yeah because I have been playing Old World Blues mod for a few months now and I do not remember a clear picture of that.

It's the amount of pieces of equipment with bonuses you've acquired through the MIO.
