The headquarters is a building where you can upgrade servers which install programs that speed up the core game.

It is also used to soft prestige the military.

Building Tiers

Upgrading the Headquarters does almost nothing currently.

Each tier adds 2 extra server slots (Technology)

Contracts

Can be purchased to gain special effects in the core game; the contract's conditions must be met to gain the effects while the contract is also active.

Click the time button of a contract cycles between the contract length options, which also cycles through the costs. Contracts can be bought for permanent use at high costs.

Time Cost
10 Minutes 20
1 Hour 4000
5 Hours 80,000
24 Hours 1.6M
Forever 125T

Pacifist

Condition: Use max. 1 offensive module.

Bonus: 8x Resources

Glass Cannon

Condition: Use max. 1 defensive module.

Bonus: 4x Resources

Colorful

Condition : Use min. 1 Module of each type (offensive, defensive, utility and ultimate)

Bonus : 3x Resources

Technology

Used to buy and upgrade servers. Each server costs more than the last.

The CPU speeds up the installation of programs in the Software tab.

The RAM increases the amount of lines any specific program in the Facility AI can hold.

Software

Install programs to speed up the core game. The programs are:

  • Autoskip: Removes the wait time between waves after all enemies have spawned.
  • Wave Streaming: Slowly accelerates spawning and speed of enemies when active (slow and has an upper limit).
  • Wave Surge: Removes the upper limit of wave streaming, increases the speed at which enemies become faster, and condenses multiple waves into 1 wave.
    • Critical Wavejump : Gives a 1% chance to increase the wave counter by 5% of your highest waves ever in the same difficulty and region. Stops working once you reach your highest ever wave. Only works in endless mode.
  • Wave Momentum : Whenever an enemy dies in endless mode, increase the amount of waves gained by one the next time the wave counter increases. Resets afterwards.
  • Wave persistence : Improves Wave Momentum by reducing the amount of waves gained the next time the counter increases by 10% instead of resetting it to zero.
  • Wave Instability : Improves Critical Wavejump by giving it an extra 4% chance to trigger and doubling its effect.
  • Wave Vortex : Improves Wave Streaming by making it start at a faster speed and makes enemies accelerate even faster. Works with Wave Surge.
  • Wave Catalyst : Increases the speed of Wave Streaming based on the amount of waves skipped everytime Critical Wavejump triggers. Has no effect if the wave acceleration factor already exceed 100M.
  • Wave Endurance : Increases the acceleration of Wave Streaming by 5% per second, making enemies exponentially faster as time goes on.
  • New Bounds : Endless mode starts at Era 1.
  • Era Surge: Skips to the next Era every 10 times the wave counter changes. Only works if the current Era is at least 1.
  • Era Burst: Skips (Total amount of waves skipped)^0.5 eras whenever the wave counter changes. If Era Surge is active then its effect will change to a 10% burst for Era Burst

There is another technical limit for speed which is compensated by skipping waves leading to a higher resources/sec increase at the cost of missing out a few enemies.

Military

In the military tab you can soft prestige after maximizing a specific number of modules and unlocking a specific number of regions.

Prestiging will reward the player with higher maximum modules tier, new buildings, softwares, bosses, and features.

Prestiging will reset the level of all modules, as well as losing all your cubes. To compensate this, you are rewarded some gems.

Prestiging will not make you lose gems, exotic gems, or non-cube building resources.

You will start at Tier 1, and will eventually reach Tier 5, unlocking access to the AI. Upon reaching tier 8, you will unlock access to Era content.

Facility AI

main article : AI

The Facility AI is a section unlocked by attaining military prestige 5. The AI allows for multiple automation tasks to be performed, including refreshing Mine layers, combining power stones at the Museum, using active modules automatically, or simply clicking at specific locations on the screen.

Skills

Sponsoring : Decreases the resource conversion rate of the headquarters by 5 for each completed difficulty in normal mode. Takes all unlocked regions into account.

Dealbreaker : Allows you to cancel non-forever contracts. Since using this skill does not refund any used resources, and having a contract active does not force you to follow its rules, this skill is not of a high priority to unlock.

Offline Installing : Allows the headquarters to continue installing software while the game is closed.

Exotic skills
