 Congratulations! You have beaten region 2! You now have the possibility to do your first military reset! Like any idle game, you must reset at certain points for long-terms gain, and here it is '''MT'''. Once you have 10 modules unlocked and max all of those modules, it is time to do the reset. Some things to note here are:
-* '''ALL''' of your resources (e.g. white cubes, red cubes, blue cubes, etc.) will be reset upon resetting '''EXCEPT''' gems and exotic gems

 Alright you clicked that button (not the cancel button I hope) and so now what?
 You now have access to so many new features, I'm gonna go through them one by one.
-=== Workers ===
+===Workers===
 Workers automate features for your different buildings, then more you rank up, the more workers you are able to unlock! These can range from tasks like always crushing ores in the factory to experiments to mining and so much more! You require gems to hire workers and in order to make them go faster you can also unlock different speed modes which also require gems. In order to change a worker's speed, you can click on the circle thing that turns and it will change speed (provided you have at least one more speed mode unlocked). Without perks, you start with getting 1 more max worker per tier.
-=== Gems ===
+===Gems===
 You have probably come  across this currency before, you can get it in the mines if you are lucky, but you can also get it by tiering up (which is a really bad way to do so but just saying). Gems are used for workers, an experiment, upgrading with gems instead of exp in-game, and other uses later. It isn't anything special, so I just recommend spending on workers at this point.
-=== '''MILITARY PERKS!''' ===
+==='''MILITARY PERKS!'''===
 Now this is an important one, by expanding your military, you gain access to special perks, which can speed up your progress so much that "we didn't have when we were kids". Every military tier you gain access to a military perk. For each set of 3 military tiers, you get to choose one of 3 perks to add to your arsenal, which can impact your playstyle. You '''cannot''' reset military perks however you will end  up having all of the perks anyway. Basically, if you are picking between perk 1, 2, and 3, and you pick 2 first. The next tier you are picking towards 1 and 3, and whatever you don't choose you get on the last mt of the trio.

 These 3 buildings are, the factory, the mine, and the powerplant. Each of these 3 buildings correspond to different playstyles, and generally add more complexity to the game. A brief description of each:
-* '''Idle Route Factory:''' In floor 2, you unlock specialized machine ware which will help create your needed resources even faster than ever before! Use the crafter and scan in resources to be made automatically for you in mass quantities for when the time needs, and it even works offline! Craft saplings to grow trees that will help rain even more resources above your heads! And finally, the fabricator. Dissolve unwanted materials in the fabricator to add mass and use it to fabricate literally '''any item scanned in crafter''' for very easy crafting! Upgrade your fabricator to have faster dissolving and fabricating, higher storage of mass, and even automatically produce mass. If you choose this path, you are spending a lot of time in the factory.

You can convert your town resources to brown cubes to use them for building purposes. Now using those brown resources, go ahead and build your first building, the '''workshop.'''

 ==Mine==
-The mine is an interesting place. You can use orange cubes to drill and unlock layers in order to farm shards using more orange resources. The shards can be then turned into their cube counterpart or be used in factory, which is explained next. You can upgrade the drill to drill down faster, use less fuel, and more max fuel. By mining in layers, you can also find various boosts like less conversion rate from shards to cubes and less cost for digging in the layers. Tiering up mine will give additional shards and resources. It is recommended to not start digging layers fully as they can waste a lot of resources early on.
