1 Energy multiplies metal income. It works via this equation that I no longer need to look up. 1 Energy multiplies metal income. It works via this equation that I no longer need to look up.

5 Each mex individually spends a certain amount of energy. For example 12 energy into a mex doubles its income and 32 energy triples its income. Now apply this to your example. 5 The overdrive system works on each mex individually. Every mex is allocated a certain amount of energy which determines its multiplier using the above equation. For example 12 energy into a mex doubles its income and 32 energy triples its income. Now apply this to your example.

7 * 32 energy in a +10 mex = 30 metal income. 7 * 32 energy in a +10 mex = 30 metal income.
8 * 32 energy in 5 +2 mexes splits to give each mex 6.4 energy. Note that splitting the energy evenly between equal mexes yields the greatest income (due to the square root). 6.4 energy in a +2 mex gives about 3.22 metal. Multiply this by 5 and we have 16.12 metal income. 8 * 32 energy in 5 +2 mexes splits to give each mex 6.4 energy.
