| Interlock Harmony | When at least one bay is in Over mode and at least one is in Under, all bays gain +0.575%/min passive dissipation. | Passive Dissipation + Mint Baseline Trickle | 280K Insulating Resin 300K Conductive Algae |
50K | interlockHarmony
|
| Mint Baseline Trickle | +10% to Mint BC output. | None | 125K Circuit Shard | 5K | mintBaselineTrickle
|
| Refinery Raw Efficiency | Refining Raw items drains the committed budget 20% slower — same Salvage rate while running, but the basket lasts longer, so +25% Salvage per committed BC of Raw items. | Capacity Foundations | 6.6K Signal Matrix | 30K | refineryRawYield
|
| Refinery Crafted Efficiency | Refining Crafted items drains the committed budget 20% slower — same Salvage rate while running, but the basket lasts longer, so +25% Salvage per committed BC of Crafted items. | Capacity Foundations | 11K Signal Matrix | 50K | refineryCraftedYield
|
| Refinery Consumable Efficiency | Refining Consumable items drains the committed budget 20% slower — same Salvage rate while running, but the basket lasts longer, so +25% Salvage per committed BC of Consumable items. | Capacity Foundations | 15.4K Signal Matrix | 70K | refineryConsumableYield
|
| Batch Operations | Bulk claim across all bays, bulk pause/resume across all modules in a bay, and bulk level-up across modules - all in one action each. | None | 400K Lithium | 5K | batchOperations
|
| Bay Telemetry | Reveals numeric readouts for every bay: BC and Salvage rates, heat rate, time to the next heat threshold, how long stored fuel and coolant will last, the cooling each bay needs versus how much it is getting, and the per-mode comparison table in the Mode popover. Without it, bays show only mode, module count, and stored totals. | None | 1.67M Quartz | 5K | bayTelemetry
|
| Auto-Deposit | Enables a dedicated Salvage basket for the Refinery. Configure up to 3 item slots; the Refinery auto-commits from the basket whenever its active run finishes. | Batch Operations + Overflow Cutoff | 11K Signal Matrix | 50K | autoDeposit
|
| Overflow Cutoff | When the Refinery output buffer is full, pause input consumption instead of burning the basket. Resumes automatically when Salvage is claimed. | None | 400K Lithium | 5K | overflowCutoff
|
| Capacity Foundations | Unlocks Mint fuel buffer capacity and Refinery output buffer capacity. Tier-1 expansion purchases become available. | None | 67K Titanium Ore | 5K | capacityFoundations

50K | refineryOutputScaling
|
| Mint Fuel Scaling | Unlocks additive level scaling for Mint fuel buffer cap. | Capacity Foundations | 14K Reinforced Frame 80K Titanium Ore |
50K | mintFuelScaling
|
| Work Coupling | While the Mint bay is fueled and running, your Work action pays out more BC and can finish its cooldown early. The bonus scales with how hard the bay is running and your prestige tier. | Capacity Foundations | 300K Circuit Shard 20K Reinforced Frame |
80K | mintWorkCoupling
|
| Mint Fuel Efficiency | Mint fuel consumption rate −15%. Each Salvage stretches further, keeping your Work boost and cooldown cuts running longer. | Capacity Foundations | 13K Reinforced Frame 70K Titanium Ore |
50K | mintFuelEfficiency
|
| Recovery Targeting | Unlocks focus on the Recovery Bay. The bay always tries to cut the action you just performed; as its modules grow it makes extra cut attempts too. Each Recovery Focus Slots upgrade tier below the top auto-adds the next loot action to those extra attempts, in order: fish, then hunt, then explore, then mine. At the top Focus Slots tier you choose the extra attempts' targets yourself, instead of the fixed order. | Recovery Bay Bay Telemetry |
250K Signal Matrix | 200K | recoveryTargeting
|
| Recovery Fuel Efficiency | Recovery Bay salvage burn rate −15%. Each Salvage keeps the bay's charge topped up longer, so its loot-cooldown cuts stay strong. | Recovery Bay Capacity Foundations |
52K Reinforced Frame 580K Titanium Ore |
100K | recoveryFuelEfficiency
|
| Recovery Quest Banking | Unlocks the Recovery Bay's Quest Storage upgrade. With storage, surplus loot finds past a quest's requirement are banked instead of wasted, giving you a head-start on your next quest. This node only unlocks the upgrade; buy Quest Storage tiers to gain storage. | Recovery Bay Bay Telemetry |
80K Reinforced Frame | 200K | recoveryQuestBanking
|
| Quest Bank Control | Unlocks flush/hoard control of the Recovery Bay quest bank, and lets you flush it on demand. Does nothing on its own. | Recovery Quest Banking | 100K Reinforced Frame | 250K | recoveryBankControl
|
| Quest Bank Auto-focus | Adds an auto-focus switch to the Recovery Bay's Focus control. When on, it fills your focus pins with the loot actions that drop items your pending quests still need, and refreshes them whenever your pending quests change (progress crossing the threshold, a quest completing, or a level-up). Set a deselect threshold (1 to 100 percent) to drop an action once its quests reach that completion; 100 keeps an action until its quests are done. The pins stay editable, so a manual tweak sticks until your next quest change. Turn it off to leave the pins as ordinary manual pins. | Recovery Bay Recovery Focus Slots |
310K Signal Matrix | 400K | recoveryAutoFocus
|
| Cross-System Recovery | Extends Recovery beyond loot. Reactively trims your Farm watering and Buddy-swap cooldowns (capped, occasional), and deepens stacked loot cuts at high module investment. Needs a deeply built-out Recovery bay. | Recovery Targeting Recovery Total Module Levels ≥ 300 |
310K Signal Matrix | 400K | recoveryCrossSystem
|
| Grid Resonance | +5% Mint output while fuel buffer is over 50% full. +5% Refinery yield while less than 50% of the committed budget has been consumed. | Refinery Output Scaling + Mint Fuel Scaling | 14K Reinforced Frame 80K Titanium Ore |
50K | gridResonance
|
| Thermal Routing | Unlocks per-bay cooling allocation: route your Cooling Bay's supply where it's needed. Before it, cooling is shared evenly across heat-generating bays. | Cooling Bay Thermal Reserve Bay Telemetry |
420K Insulating Resin 450K Conductive Algae |
75K | thermalRouting

| Vault Routing | Unlocks the routing slider on the Mint Bay: choose what share of realized BC is sent to your faction's Mint buffer or, for solo profiles, your own Vault. | Mint Bay Mint Fuel Scaling Bay Telemetry |
420K Insulating Resin 450K Conductive Algae |
75K | mintFactionRouting
|
| Overdrive | Unlocks an opt-in Overdrive mode for the Refinery: it burns far more BC for a smaller boost in Salvage, and runs hotter the higher you push it, trading a much higher cost for faster output. Unlocked tier by tier. | Refinery Output Scaling | 56K Reinforced Frame 320K Titanium Ore |
200K | overdrive
|
| Transmutation | Unlocks the Refinery Bay's transmutation system. Commit a batch of items to convert them into other items following set recipes: some items go in, some other items come out. | Refinery Output Scaling | 50 Lunar Shard 1 Magic Token 20 Alien Technology |
400K | transmutation

Relay operating modes
[edit source]Proposed placement: Relay Network. Multipliers apply to the corresponding base rate before charge, research, heat and other adjustments. Overclock windows last 20 minutes and have a 10-minute base cooldown, reducible to 5 minutes.
| Mode | Mint Output | Refinery Output | Recovery Roll Chance | Recovery Fuel Burn | Base Heat Factor |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Off | 0× | 0× | 0× | 0× | 0× |
| Underclocked | 0.5× | 0.5× | 0.5× | 0.5× | 0.4× |
| Normal | 1× | 1× | 1× | 1× | 1× |
| Overclocked | 2× | 2× | 2× | 4× | 2.5× (Mint: 3.5×) |
Heat thresholds
[edit source]Proposed placement: Relay Heat. Hot Bays gradually lose throughput; this is not a shutdown timetable. The Cooling Bay is a heat sink rather than a heat source.
| Threshold | Heat |
|---|---|
| Cooling Engages | 50% |
| Unstable | 70% |
| Critical | 100% |
| Heat Pool Cap | 115% |
Refinery input categories
[edit source]Proposed placement: Relay Network. Drain factors are relative to the Items' base worth. Storage windows and throughput depend on module investment and research.
| Category | Base Budget Drain | With Yield Research |
|---|---|---|
| Raw | 5× | 4× |
| Crafted | 1× | 0.8× |
| Consumable | 3× | 2.4× |
Recovery support rules
[edit source]Proposed placement: Relay Network. Cross-System Recovery requires its research node. Normal cooldown-cut chances, focus and Quest storage are shown in the upgrade tables.
| Attribute | Base Value |
|---|---|
| Fuel per Level 15 Module, Normal | 17.5 Salvage per minute |
| Fuel per Level 15 Module, Overclocked | 70 Salvage per minute |
| Charge to Full | 100 Salvage Burned |
| Cooldown Roll Lockout | 30–60 seconds before reductions |
| Extra Beneficiary Thresholds | 75, 150 and 300 Total Module Levels |
| Cross-System Cut Chance | 6% per eligible target at full charge |
| Cross-System Cut Range | 5%–18% of adjusted cooldown; up to 3 minutes |
| Cross-System Lockout | 5–15 minutes per target |
Transmutation recipes
[edit source]Proposed placement: Transmutation. Recipes show one batch. Work is the processing requirement, not a BC charge or a fixed completion time. Completion time depends on available Refinery throughput and Transmutation upgrades.
