Does anybody know what this actually includes? I looked through some old posts, but none of them were specific.

I would guess...that in the last 7 days...You have contributed to a different base

I joke, i think it means youve deposited either energy, exotic matter or CTP to another base

I asked if anybody actually knew, which you apparently do not.

It must also include credits, the CT Lab, or using the Service Terminal. If anybody knows which of those also counts, please let me know.

It's not *using* the ct lab I can say from personal experience, although it was a full lab so I didn't try a discovery and can't speak to that.

but how would you know that? It takes a week to be loyal in order to use the CTL, so by that, the required one-week time between contributions to a different base would have passed anyway

Edit: nvm, misunderstood what you meant

I think the using the lab is not stating if you were able to use said lab after moving legions, rather if using the lab before leaving caused the donated in past week to trigger.

if you attempted a discovery it counts

That is awful. I wish things were actually stated properly in-game. Unfortunately I suffered from misinformation.

same thing happened to me, as long as you learn from the mistake you'll only ever do it once

I'll already only do it once, I was planning to be out of the game by the end of the weekend, but now I can't use my energy cubes because of this.

Just to be clear: I go to legion B and get loyal to use the CT lab, however I never donate to the base.
I go to my home legion: I can immediately contribute to the base (I tried it). Over the course of the next week I was routinely able to add energy while still waiting on loyalty. So use the lab to your hearts content because that isn't a factor.

Clamps, anyone?

It seems you can use it, but not attempt a discovery.



I did not use Clamps, though I did use Resistor Overcharges, which are also artifacts. It's a possibility, but not a certainty.
