Extra multiplier in factory?

[Captain Comet Thunderboom]

I was on a factory run the other day with just myself (105 laff) and another high laffer (104). She had maxxed trap, and I had gone into the factory with the main goal of getting those last couple hundred points to get my Hypno Glasses. On nearly every battle, I lured and she used her traps, and we were knocking cogs out left and right. I used all 10 big magnets I had on me, and every single one hit thanks to her traps. Now, here's the funny thing. They're usually worth 4, x2 in the factory makes them worth 8, so you'd expect that I'd get 80 points for them right? I got 160!

Anyone else seen this happen? It acts almost like there was a cog invasion or something, but I'm not sure if invasions affect the Factory like they do buildings. I didn't get any messages that one was happening, I know that much. Makes me wonder if it was some sort of 'no miss' bonus, or just a lucky glitch. Either way, I'm one happy kitty, as I now have my Hypno Glasses after just a couple more runs.

There is a 2x multiplier in the factory. The mints also have multipliers, 1.5x for Coin, 2x for Dollar and 3x for Bullion. The VP and CFO both have 3x multipliers.

I do not have an explanation for your experience.

I know there's a x2 in the factory, and the several runs I had after that were back to x2. This one run, however, for whatever reason, came out to 160 for lure. Like I said, the only difference was that in later runs some of my lures missed. In that run they all hit. Coincidence? Probably, but I thought I'd throw it out anyways. I will note that the other gags I used were tallied at x2, which makes it even more strange.

The VP cog round is 2x and the skelecog is 3x. The CFO is 2x, just FYI.

This is due to the interaction of trap and group lures on groups of 2 or more cogs. Basically if you do a succesful group lure on a group of cogs that has 1 or more traps in front of them (with at least one cog untrapped) then you wake up/kill the untrapped cog(s) you will get double the lure points. All the appropiate gag multipliers still apply, so you get a total of x4 in the fact, x2 on the street, x6 in the bullion mint, etc.

I noticed this on the streets, while working my trap/lure.
