Collector

The Collector in Green The Planet 2 plays a crucial role in passively collecting Energy on the planet. Players can tap on the collector to harvest the accumulated Energy when the "bucket" is full of gold material. This upgrade is particularly important for players who prefer a more passive playstyle, as it provides a steady stream of a large amount of energy.
==Capacity==
The cost of upgrading the Capacity of the Collector increases gradually, reaching up to 15m Energy. If players spend enough time away from the game for the collector to be fully full (indicated by the bar on its side being all yellow), upgrading Capacity becomes the most significant upgrade. At maximum level, the collector can hold up to approximately 13 million energy.
==Speed==
The Speed upgrade for the Collector is also gradually increasing in cost, with a maximum upgrade cost of 20m Energy. Speed determines how quickly the collector accrues energy. If players frequently check their game, upgrading Speed becomes slightly more valuable than Capacity. Eventually, it is recommended to maximize both upgrades to fully optimize the energy collection process.
==Space Transit==
Space Transit becomes available for purchase once the Speed and Capacity upgrades for the auto collector are fully upgraded. This upgrade requires 50 million Energy. With Space Transit, the collector remains stationed on the current planet but gains the ability to fly to future planets the player is working on. This effectively multiplies the passive Energy gain from collectors. As players visit new planets, the collectors with Space Transit enabled will periodically fly to the new planet, dropping off approximately 13 million Energy each time.
It's important to note that when Space Transit is purchased, the next planet will start with a level 0 collector without Space Transit, requiring players to repurchase the upgrade. Despite this limitation, the long-term benefits of Space Transit make it worthwhile. Previously, there was an issue where only one collector would visit from off-world, but this has been fixed. If players find the cost of 50 million Energy affordable, it is highly recommended to add Space Transit to every collector before leaving a planet. Currently, up to 30 Space Transit collectors can be added.
