The Portal functions as a prestige mechanic. Entering the Portal allows you to reset your game progress in exchange for an array of upgrades of your choice.
Get Advanced Research by inserting Research in an Advanced Research node. Each Advanced Research acquired increases Research requirement for the next point by 1.5x
You can queue portal upgrades in the Portal screen using Advanced Research points. Queued upgrades will be activated once you enter the Portal.
Entering the Portal will restart your progression, including resources and node setups. All research done is saved.
Pre-Portal Checklist
- Save Schematics
- Toggle Token Miner:
On, All GPU to Token Miner- Finalize Advanced Research purchases
- Enter Portal or Rewind (Service)
Completing the Advanced Research Tree in entirety, buying all unique nodes including 1 purchase of the final node, grants the Eureka Achievement and 100 Tokens. It requires 149 Advanced Research in order to unlock this achievement.
The Portal contains 6 separate trees. Each Portal Tree specializes in one of: Network, CPU, GPU, Research, Hacking, and Coding upgrades. Each Portal Tree upgrade can be purchased one time and ends in an infinite node that can be purchased multiple times.
When purchasing a node in any tree, you que the upgrade for when you next enter the portal. There is no limit to queued research. Upgrades do not affect your gameplay until you enter the Portal.
There is no method to refund queued research without the use of Rewind.
Each time you purchase an infinite node, the cost for the next purchase increases by 1 Advanced Research Point.
Rewind resets and refunds all Portal Upgrades purchased and forces Portal Entry. This is a service that costs 500 Tokens.
