Editing Actions (section)

== Cooldown and charge ==

Every Action has two timers that start when you run it:
* '''Ready time''': the Action cannot be used again until this has passed.
* '''Full charge''': the Action keeps charging after it is ready, until the bar is full.

What an Action gives scales in a straight line with its charge. An Action at half charge gives about half as much as a full one, so there is no need to click the moment it becomes ready. You can play often or come back for fuller bars.

Several things can change when an Action is available. A [[Boosts#Personal Boosts|Personal Boost]] fully refills the boosted Action. The [[Recovery]] Bay can cut a Loot Action's remaining cooldown. The [[Amnesiac]] [[Prestige#Account and actions|Prestige perk]] gives a chance that the Action's cooldown is ignored, so you can run it again straight away for the same charge. A [[Noetic Pulsator]] (see [[Specials]]) resets every Action's cooldown for all online players. Work has its own cooldown cut from a fueled [[Mint]].
