Mid game · ships, demeter, shards · updated 2026-10-25
- Cost: about 5e75 Cells. Evolution stages 3.
- Opens Shards and Demeter Operations.
- Ahead of the Curve gives completed operations to your NEXT run. It does not pay shards now. Spend points on it before the reset that starts a long shard run.
- Better Mineral Extraction is the main shard income install (cap 250).
- The Hexagonal Advantage boosts MP and needs 25 earlier levels.
- Do not max Mineral Extraction before you seed the GPR Hotspot Scanners corner. Two independent shard multipliers beat one stacked high.
