Tips for New Players

First Steps

1. Complete all Training Missions first — They teach you the core mechanics and give guaranteed Spark and Core rewards
2. Start at New Prime — It’s your safe home planet with established infrastructure
3. Focus on nearby sectors — Explore outward from Safe sectors to unlock new areas

Progression

4. Always claim your free mission reward — It costs nothing and gives you Sparks or Cores
5. Spend Residuum on priced rewards when you can — 500 Residuum for an item drop is usually worth it
6. Don’t worry about leftover Residuum — It converts to bonus XP automatically
7. Build Power Plants early — The entire community benefits from higher rarity drops

Gear

8. Experiment with different classes — Mix chest pieces from different archetypes to find your style
9. Use Sparks strategically — Match damage-type Sparks to your preferred weapons
10. Save high-rarity Cores — Use them on item types you actually need, when Factory bonuses are high

Economy

11. You don’t need to spend real money — The free Nexus Pass track and mission rewards provide plenty of content
12. If you buy the Nexus Pass, do it early — You’ll earn Koju back through premium rewards as you level
13. Blockchain features are optional — The vault and trading system is there if you want it, but the full game is playable without it

Community

14. Facility building is a team effort — Every facility you complete helps every player in the season
15. Balance your faction contributions — Both Luminary and Foundationalist facilities provide essential bonuses
16. Team up for missions — Cooperative play makes harder content accessible and more rewarding
