Upgrades

This article is a work in progress.

This article is in the process of an expansion or major restructuring.! You are welcome to assist in its construction by editing it as well. See Category:Work in progress for other pages that needs expansion.

Note: Upgrades are sorted by how they appear from top to bottom and by tier.

Player Tips

It is worth trying for some of the upgrades as soon as possible.

Recommended are:

-Drive Engine 1 (allows sustained flight, which is faster than walking, but consumes more energy)

-Mecha Core 1 (increases maximum mecha energy storage)

and

-Universe Exploration 1 (displays symbols for resources and their yields across the planet)

as these upgrades do not use matrices, but regular components.
