Ahead of the Curve (node): one free level of Ahead of the Curve at your next reset. About 1e80 MP at the snapshot.
Enhanced Shard Mining Equipment MK1 to MK4: +5%, +20%, +50%, +100% shards. Big levels, steady value.
Phase Completion Efficiency modules: each takes 1 tick off one operation phase. There are six phases. Buying them speeds every operation.
Cell Efficiency and Shard Efficiency Operation modules: more Cells or shards per completed operation.
Shard Mining Headquarters: x5 Cells per level.
Robotic Miner nodes: the price jumped from about 1 quintillion to 23 quintillion a level on one account with no visible shard income gain. Only buy a level when it costs 1/100th or less of your MP (rule used on one account, UNSURE).
Mutual Mining Agreements: huge numbers, far off.
Rule of Hard Work (Ultima mod): raises the shard milestone level cap. Very far off.
Phase One to Three modules showed as cheap early buys.
