	The Era divisors reduce (divide) the effect of the Era multipliers, which (besides the Era Powers) are one of the biggest obstacles in Era. With each subsequent Era, both enemy damage and enemy HP are multiplied by ~~an increasing value~~. (~~FIXME: Put exact formula here~~.) After a few hundred Eras, the multipliers will exceed 1.8e308 (the largest double value) and become '''infinite''', which is represented by a skull and cannot be reduced to a survivable amount by normal means.		The Era divisors reduce (divide) the effect of the Era multipliers, which (besides the Era Powers) are one of the biggest obstacles in Era. With each subsequent Era, both enemy damage and enemy HP are multiplied by <code>10^(20 * era^(1 - level/300 * 0.78) / (level+1))</code> , where <code>level</code> refers to the Workshop Era Dividers upgrades bought. After a few hundred Eras, the multipliers will exceed 1.8e308 (the largest double value) and become '''infinite''', which is represented by a skull and cannot be reduced to a survivable amount by normal means.

	To combat this, you can invest XP in the Era Divisors, which divide the multipliers by 8 for each level. Once the divisor amount exceeds 1.8e308, it becomes infinite as well, and (due to game coding) this infinity takes precedence, completely superseding the Era multipliers for the rest of the run and clamping them to their minimum value of 1x. This is sometimes known as "disabling the Era Shield."		To combat this, you can invest XP in the Era Divisors, which divide the multipliers by 8 for each level.

	-Era ~~inhibition~~ (second tab) : Here you can reduce the Era shield using blue resources and blue gems! The first time buying them will reduce their power by 1e20, and each subsequent one will reduce the power of the shield by about how much it would increase by incrementing the era counter by 1. Spending blue resources (and hits taken/kills of the specific element you're researching), you can unlock the ability to disable that enemy's era abilities during runs! Beware that these costs are multiplicative (at a cost of 1000 XP, the second module to disable would cost 1,000,000 XP and the third 1,000,000,000 XP) so choose carefully which one(s) you want to disable each run.

			The Era divisors reduce (divide) the effect of the Era multipliers, which (besides the Era Powers) are one of the biggest obstacles in Era. With each subsequent Era, both enemy damage and enemy HP are multiplied by an increasing value. (FIXME: Put exact formula here.) After a few hundred Eras, the multipliers will exceed 1.8e308 (the largest double value) and become '''infinite''', which is represented by a skull and cannot be reduced to a survivable amount by normal means.

			To combat this, you can invest XP in the Era Divisors, which divide the multipliers by 8 for each level. Once the divisor amount exceeds 1.8e308, it becomes infinite as well, and (due to game coding) this infinity takes precedence, completely superseding the Era multipliers for the rest of the run and clamping them to their minimum value of 1x.

			<code>(342 * 100000 + 342 * 341 * 10000 / 2) * 0.95<sup>110</sup> + 342</code> = 2188606 XP, and less if the tab 2 upgrades have been bought.
