Charge program icon

Charge is a passive utility program which reduces the PWR cost of other programs by 2 down to a minimum of 1, but increases their cooldowns by 1 turn. It has no effect on passive programs; program PWR costs 0 or 1 are not reduced by Charge, but their cooldowns are still increased by 1 turn. Charge can be bought from some Server Terminals for 900 credits.

Charge's effect always applies while it is installed, and cannot be enabled or disabled at will. Overdrive only raises other programs' cooldowns at the time they are used, so if Charge is installed while another program is already on cooldown, it does not raise that program's cooldown timer. If Charge is sold while another program is on cooldown, it also does not decrease that program's cooldown timer.

If Charge and Overdrive are both installed, their effects stack, so that other programs' PWR costs are reduced by 1 down to a minimum of 1, and their cooldowns are reduced by 1 turn down to a minimum of 1 turn. However, every active program will have a PWR cost of at least 1 and a cooldown of at least 1 turn, even if they normally would cost 0 PWR or have no cooldown.
