Modules are ERC-1155 NFTs that customize and upgrade your Androids.
There are 6 different Modules, each of which can be applied up to 3 times (up to 4 times for Nicole). Every Module has unique effects on your Android's appearance and abilities. You can upgrade an Android with Modules at any time, but you cannot remove or downgrade them once applied. Modules are limited, which means there won’t be enough supply for all Androids to reach the maximum level.

PARTNERED MODULE: Extended Memory is one of the two modules created in collaboration with partnered artists. It provides a wider range of artistic styles and techniques that have been gathered over years of training Neura. This includes the styles of renowned artists, showcasing the potential of AI creativity.
With more upgrades you unlock more unexpected and bizarre styles in works of your Android AND you increase a chance of getting a painting in the style of one of partnered Artists: BakaArts, DeltaSauce, Etiene Crauss, Kolahon, RedruM, Pho.

Compressors contain a combination of both styles and Neura’s own understanding of objects and plots. The module’s unique appeal lies in its ability to challenge neural networks with more abstract and minimalistic directions, compelling them to generate unique artworks that transcend any trends.
With more upgrades, plots become less figurative, increasing the rarity of the paintings due to the extended processing power, required by the neural networks. This additional time allows an Android to craft each piece meticulously, transforming the limited input details into something truly unique, eternal and existing in its own universe.
The Compressors Module for Neura offers a different approach to artistic expression, emphasizing the potential of beauty and rarity in simplicity.

Additional Layers give the owner of the Android much more control over the artworks. Applying this module widens the range of emotions and moods used in paintings. This Module does not affect the quality of paintings, but it lets you decide weather you want to experiment with expanding the range of intense and extreme emotions conveyed on canvas. This allows you to see Neura’s understanding of human emotions and feeling through it own lens.
Initially Neura doesn’t lean towards any specific emotions aiming to stay “neutral” in order to focus primarily on the plot. By applying this module you add more layers to its generative process, creating another parallel workflow with a large pre-trained data that adds more variety in emotions translated by Neura.
This results in beautiful and sometimes unsettling masterpieces where one can observe how AI in order to recognize emotions puts them on extreme edges. You can also find a completely unexpected combinations of plots and emotions which stands to Neura’s testimony: to amaze and surprise.

Post Processors hold the knowledge of hundreds of years of fast painting techniques. It allows you to reduce the number of days required to draw an artwork. Initially, it takes 7 days for the first generation and more for the next ones, but using the module can reduce this number.
Formula to calculate the amount of days to create a painting:
f(n)=(7days−Modulelvl)∗1.15n
where n is the number of the generation of the Android
Each module upgrade reduces the base deadline for painting (7 days) by 1 day. Resulting in the fastest first generation with 4 upgrades (only for Nicole) reduced to only 3 days, and the 5th generation in the same example would be 6 days instead of 14 days without any upgrades.
It is important to remember that each next generation is slower due to Android features, so the sooner you apply the Processors module, the more paintings you will be able to get.
This Module increases the multiplier for both your Android and its artworks, creating a significant effect on each creation. It does not alter the Android’s outputs visually, but every upgrade boosts the reward system:
The benefit of installing ADND is its impact on the upcoming burning mechanism for Paintings. Multiplier gives an advantages in the next Neura stages: Spread and Rewards. The base multiplier of paintings is 1x, with each level ADND Module adds 0.5x.

DISCLAIMER: This Module does not technically affect the creative process and the visual output of the Android. But it still affects Android’s appearance.
PARTNERED MODULE: Every painting produced by your Android begins with an Initial Artwork. It’s a piece crafted by a human artist that can range from simple patterns and shapes to intricate, color-rich compositions. This art serves as the seed from which Neura’s process unfolds.
By installing the Visual Boost Module, Neura changes all your initial artworks into far more elaborate masterpieces, created both by Neura and partnered artists.
With higher levels of this module you increase the chances of getting a Painting based on an initial work by partnered Artists: BakaArts, DeltaSauce, Etiene Crauss, Kolahon, RedruM, Pho.
Higher upgrade levels increase probability that your Android produces rare, collector-worthy pieces that keep the soul of a renowned Web3 artist.
Android Upgrading
Each Module type has unique supply and utility. Some upgrades make Androids and their artworks rarer or more valuable. Modules are limited, and not every Android will reach the maximum level.
To start creating art, you’ll need to apply at least one Module.
Each Android can be upgraded up to 18 Modules, with 3 level max per each of 6 modules. Nicole with each unique perk, can be upgraded up to 24 Modules, with 4 level max per each of 6 modules.
Stages reflect how advanced your Android is and play an important role in both the visual and reward systems of Neura.
Stages are categorized into three groups based on the Android's upgrade level
Alpha: 0–3 Modules
Beta: 4–7 Modules
Gamma: 8+ Modules
Stages apply multipliers to both Androids and Paintings, directly affecting how many points they earn. This makes stages an important factor in maximizing your rewards.
It doesn’t matter whether the Modules are different or the same, only the total number counts.
