The square on a multitool

How rare is a square of supercharged slots on a multitool? one in 980 at best, for Atlantid, plain tools, and one in 2,000 for Alien tools, the worst bet. Source hardly matters, and once the slots are adjacent, neither does type: every type makes a square 6.3% to 7.8% of the time. What sets a rare type apart is how seldom its slots are adjacent at all, and How lucky am I? scores a square as rarer still than adjacent slots.

A square fits 18 places on a multitool, and a ship has odds of its own: the square on a ship. What a square adds to damage, against every other figure, is on supercharged slots. 76% of systems list one, and 57% list one that is not a staff.

Each tool is counted as you find it, in Euclid.

By type

By source

By class

Multitools

Class changes little: among tools with adjacent slots, 6.8% to 7.8% of every class make a square.

Staffs

For staffs class is the whole story: no class C staff is a square, class B gives one in 290, and class A one in 54,000.

What we list

The tools a system page lists, one of each type and figure, as how it works describes it, before the showcase leaves out every square. The rare types are favoured, so these are not the shares of a whole galaxy.

Once you have a square, supercharged slots says where each module goes on it, and how much damage that is worth.
