- Cost: about 4 octillion Cells. Crew cap 30. Evolution stages 5.
- Opens CIFI: Automation.
- MP installs: Modifications Connection (MP per automation purchased, cap 5) and Accumulation Modification (MP per manually bought generator, cap 5, needs 60 levels in earlier installs). Take both to cap.
- Delivery Drones grows with ticks in the current run. It is weak right after a reset and strong in long runs.
- Production Line Connections boosts MK1 to MK4 per automation owned.
- Right after reset, delay Zagreus a short time only if Hephaestus MP installs can land first. The delay is a small edge. Do not wait long (UNSURE).
