Object description

Follower robot count (research) increases the maximum number of follower robots that can follow the player at any point in time. This limit counts for Defenders and Destroyers. Distractors do not count against the follower limit.

Remember that the cumulative effect starts with 10 due to researching defender (research) giving +4 to max followers.

Technology	Cost	Effects	Cumulative effect
1 Follower robot count 1	30 1 1 1 ✖ 100	5	10
2 Follower robot count 2	30 1 1 1 ✖ 200	10	20
3 Follower robot count 3	30 1 1 1 1 ✖ 300	10	30
4 Follower robot count 4	30 1 1 1 1 1 ✖ 400	20	50
5-∞ Follower robot count 5-∞	30 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 ✖ `1000*(Level-4)` (eg. 1000 for level 5, 2000 for level 6)	25	`50+25*(Level-4)`

Note that a maximum theoretical number of 1200 deployed robots is achieved using destroyer capsules. This is reached at level 50 and researching past that level will have no practical effect on the maximum number of deployed robots.

Achievements

Minions

Have 100 combat robots or more following you.

This achievement requires follower robot count level 6 for a total of 100 robots. In the base game, three rocket launches are needed to obtain the space science packs to get to and research level 6.
