| Number of Magazines Collected | Bonus Effect |
|---|---|
| 1 Magazine | Permanently reduces fuel needed for a grav jump by 1%. |
| 2-10 Magazines | Permanently reduces fuel needed for a grav jump by an additional 1%. (Stacking) |
Collecting certain numbers of Nova Galactic Manuals will give you corresponding permanent buffs. These buffs would noticeably lighten your exploration by lessening the required fuel for your grav jumps.
Obtaining Skill Magazines will automatically give you permanent bonus effects based on the number of magazines you've collected in a certain category. Whether you decide to sell or drop the magazine after getting it will not affect the buffs you've received.
Bonus effects from collecting Skill Magazines will remain in your New Game Plus playthrough. This will also allow you to gain new effects after obtaining similar magazines you've gathered in different universes.
After activating all bonus effects, the Skill Magazines will no longer have any bonus descriptions and are only good for selling.
