 Abacus and Abacus 2.0 are considered by many players to be almost worthless. This is because they generate so little [[:PWR]] per mission compared to other generator programs, and because using one of [[:Incognita]]'s program slots for Abacus or Abacus 2.0 means one fewer slot is available for other programs. Abacus and Abacus 2.0 are considered by many players to be almost worthless.

-When playing with 0 starting PWR as a [[:modes:custom]] difficulty setting, it is possible that Abacus or Abacus 2.0 might be useful in order to start generating PWR using [[Fusion]], or [[:agents:Prism]]'s [[:augments:Refractive Chamber]] augment. However, there are usually better options.+When playing with 0 starting PWR as a [[:modes:custom]] difficulty setting, it is possible that Abacus or Abacus 2.0 might be useful in order to start generating PWR using [[Fusion]], or [[:agents:Prism]]'s [[:augments:Refraction Chamber]] augment.
