Tips & tricks
Feed the Forge, then look up
The ⚒ Voracious Forge takes a tenth of your Matter and spends it in one gulp, buying the cheapest thing first — research levels, Wonders, and Keystones alike. Its button dims when a tenth wouldn't cover the cheapest purchase, so a lit Forge is always worth pressing. And when it feeds, the research pane follows it down to your next frontier — no more scrolling past forty maxed rows to find where you actually are.
Hold, don't tap
With the Curious Homeworld, every research button becomes hold-to-buy: press and keep pressing, and levels flow in — faster with each rank. Combined with the Forge, an entire tier of research takes only a few seconds of attention.
Never let go (without letting go)
Momentum makes gathering worth up to several times its resting rate, and it fades the moment you release — until the Sun's Tireless Grasp holds it for you permanently, even while you sleep. If you buy one quality-of-life upgrade this week, buy this one.
Reading the frontier
Opening the research tab lands you one row above your cheapest unbought research — a maxed row at the top of the screen means everything above it is done. The amber bar under the tabs tells you what you're saving toward and how long it will take at your current income. If that time rises right after a purchase, the ⓘ explains why that's usually good news.
The bell remembers
Missed a toast? The 🔔 in the corner keeps a recent sky ledger — comets sighted and caught, winds, sales — plus every blessing currently active and its remaining time. If the bell has a dot, something happened while you weren't looking.
Save hygiene
Before importing a save code or trying anything experimental, export first — it costs two taps and turns any mistake into a shrug. Export codes are signed, work across devices, and never expire.
